Transformation Church

Oftentimes we expect damage to come from our own unfortunate experiences, decisions we’ve made, or situations that harmed us. However, sometimes our damage can come from the backside of a blessing. In Week 8 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed series, Dr. Dharius Daniel masterfully expounds upon the story of Jonah. While Jonah was blessed to be a Prophet, trusted to carry God’s messages, he found himself running from an assignment. He got himself into a problem that only God could get him out of. In God’s grace, He used Jonah’s mistake as transportation into his future. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a problem or been in a space of intentional disobedience, we pray this message guides you toward God’s redemption!Scripture References:Jonah 4:1-3 NIVJonah 3:1 NIV
