You and I are dealing with a Savior and with a God that will never throw you overboard. Have you ever noticed those that have been His that He’s never thrown overboard? He never threw Jacob overboard. He should have, but He didn’t. And Jonah? May I say to you tonight, friends, He’ll not throw you overboard.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
