Grace in the Belly: Running to God

What if the lowest moment of your life is actually the doorway to God’s greatest grace? Jonah found out in the belly of a great fish, and so can you. Grace doesn’t always show up where we expect it. In Jonah 2, we find a prophet praying from the darkest, most unlikely place — the belly of a great fish. Yet it’s here that Jonah finally stops running from God and starts running to Him. In this message, “Grace in the Belly: Running to God,” Mark unpacks how God uses rock‑bottom moments, closed doors, and swallowed-up seasons to bring us back to Himself. If you’re longing for a fresh start, a new beginning, or a second chance in this new year, this message will speak directly to your heart.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:
• Why God sometimes allows “belly seasons”.
• How prayer becomes powerful when we’re desperate.
• What repentance really looks like in Jonah 2.
• How God rescues us even when we caused the storm.
• Why grace meets us before we get it all together.

Whether you’re running, returning, or rebuilding, this message will help you see God’s mercy in a whole new way.
