In week five of the Jonah series, Pastor James Sabin teaches "God Has a Fish for You," a message about how God never lets go of us, even in our darkest places. James starts with a story from college: he kept cashing work-study checks for a job he'd stopped showing up to, until the dean called him in. He uses it to show the difference between shame & the Holy Spirit's loving conviction, and why getting caught can be one of God's greatest gifts. Reading Jonah 1:17 and Jonah's prayer in chapter 2, he shows that the fish wasn't God's punishment but His rescue, prepared ahead of time to bring Jonah back to his purpose. Students are encouraged to look for the "big fish" God sends in their own hard seasons, like a well-timed text from a friend, a coach or teacher who shows up, or a moment of getting caught, and to remember that our growth matters more to God than our comfort.
