INTO THE DEEP

"In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and You listened to my cry. You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all Your waves and breakers swept over me.” - Jonah 2:2–3 (NIV)

In today’s world, it is easy to feel lost, overwhelmed, and distant from God. With countless distractions and competing voices, discerning His will can feel almost impossible. Some of us may have ignored, whether consciously or unconsciously, God’s call on our lives. Others may find ourselves in difficult, even unfair situations, believing we are too far gone to experience God’s grace or to walk in a meaningful relationship with Him.

This year, as we go Into the Deep, we will journey through the story of Jonah. Together, we will:

• Discover how to recognise and embrace God’s mission and purpose for our lives.

• Reflect on the consequences of disobedience and resistance to His call.

• Find encouragement in the redeeming power of God, who lovingly draws us back into His fold.

Join us as we dive deep into God’s Word, exploring His relentless love and the hope He offers, even in life’s darkest and most challenging moments.
