Sunday we continue our story of Jonah. So far, all we’ve seen is the downward path of Jonah…down to Joppa, down to the ship, down below deck, down to sleep, down into the sea, and down into the belly of a big fish. Sounds like life sometimes doesn’t...

When you think about an unstoppable team your mind might drift to the world of sports and you might think of…The Cubs…or in college football, Alabama, or in the NFL, the New England Patriots, or in this year’s Olympic games, the United States’ women’s...
