Summary

In your high school English class, you probably learned that any good book or movie has something called a dénouement at the end, where the story gets wrapped up and we get closure for all the characters. But in the book of Jonah, we never get that kind of closure. Pastor J.D. explains why that is as he continues our series called, Castaway. He’s challenging us to wrestle with the same question that Jonah wrestled with: Are we engaged in God’s mission?

At the end, that's just a fancy word for the way

0:45.4

that the story gets wrapped up, and we get closure

0:48.2

for all of the characters.

0:49.6

But when we look at the book of Jonah,

we don't ever really get that kind of closure for Jonah.
