More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #17 -- Jonah 2 -- "O God, Save Me!"
This episode is all about Jonah's prayer from the belly of a fish at the bottom of the sea. We could talk a bit about whether or not it was a whale or a big fish, or is it even a true story, I mean the science of a guy being swallowed by a whale is a little bit undeveloped, right? But if that’s what you are thinking you are missing the point. The point is not that it’s a whale; the point is that it’s a miracle. And our greatest “save me” prayers come when we need a miracle, right? We need a great God who is able to save.
And I want to tell you. Our God is able…He is more than able. God is the Hero of our story. Remember that point from Daniel’s prayer? God is the hero of this story. And so we cry out in our darkness, in the pit of a whale at the bottom of the sea, "O God save me."
