Jonah as Science Fiction

  
A video of Jonah as a science fiction epic has been produced by the creative team at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC.The video introduced the fourth message in Pastor Steven Furtick's sermon series, "InFin8." You can read an article on the video here. It is an interesting video but someone might have told the creative team that it is Nineveh not Ninevah.
