In this week's episode of Sermon Braindump I step away from the assigned Gospel text and jump into the oddball story of Jonah. This short story (only 4 chapters in length) reveals the lengths that a man will go to in order to avoid the calling of God, as well as the great lengths that God will go to in order to be heard. In the end, God's mercy is on display, which irritates Jonah beyond belief.
