A good story, a story that has the power to truly change your life, draws you in by connecting you to the protagonist. Over the course of the story, you learn the most intimate details about the protagonist’s complex character through their actions. This is how the character draws you in, makes you fall in love with them, and want to, by some miracle, know and be known by them in real life.
If you don’t feel that way about Jonah when you read the short book that bears his name – good! You’re not supposed to. Because he’s not the main character in the story.
God is!
This week, Capital’s longtime friend Jeff Lucas begins a three-week miniseries on the book of Jonah called Passion & Pursuit. In this first message, Jeff shows us why God is the main character in this story by exploring five character qualities of God that are beautifully and gracefully revealed in the story of a rebellious prophet – and available to us as his often-rebellious people.
