Hey 3RST students! Last Wednesday we read Jonah Ch1. We read over Jonah's story of how he ran from God and went in a completely different direction from God's will. God commanded Jonah to go and minister to the people in Nineveh, but Jonah knew how savage the people there were and was afraid and wanted them to all be punished by God's wrath. We saw how people can run from God, but they can't hide from God.
The story is about
The history of a man surrending to
His fears
Silencing
God's call and
Embracing
The option to flee
Ignoring
The promptings in his heart
Following
The doubts and justifications he imagined
Rejecting
God's merciful reaching
Accepting
His choices now led to
The darkness
In the belly of a fish
There, Jonah awakened to God's love and reversed his life out of
The darkness
In the belly of a fish
His choices now led to
Accepting
God's merciful reaching
Rejecting
The doubts and justifications he imagined
Following
The promptings in his heart
Ignoring
The option to flee
Embracing
God's call and silencing
His fears
Surrending he became a man of history
The story is about
REDEMPTION!
