This week, Alec continues the More Than a Big Fish series by diving into Jonah Chapter 2. From inside the belly of the fish, Jonah shifts his perspective and realizes that what felt like punishment was actually God’s provision. This message challenges students to recognize how God provides even in uncomfortable or unexpected situations, how He meets us when everything else is stripped away, and why turning back to Him is never too late. Through Jonah’s prayer, students are reminded that salvation comes from the Lord alone - and no matter how far they feel from God, He is always ready to rescue, restore, and renew.

This week, Alec dives into Jonah Chapter 1 to challenge students to think about how they respond to God’s call. While most know Jonah for the giant fish, this message explores the bigger story: God gives each of us a path and a purpose, and our choices matter. Through Jonah’s flight from God, the storm at sea, and the unexpected rescue God provides, students are encouraged to examine their own hearts, hear God’s voice clearly, and take steps toward obedience, even when it’s difficult.

As we begin 2026, Alec challenges the idea of self-made change by reminding us that real transformation doesn’t happen without God at the center. Using Jesus’ teaching about new wine and new wineskins, this message shows why trying to carry old habits, mindsets, and patterns into a new season will always fall short. Through Scripture and practical application, students are encouraged to stop relying on their own strength and instead allow God to renew their hearts, prayers, and purpose for the year ahead.
