I Am Jonah

Jonah 1-2

• Jonah races away from God – Jonah 1:1-3

(2 Kings 14:25; Isaiah 55:8-9; 1 Corinthians 10:12; Proverbs 16:18)

• Pastor Davey said, “whenever we run in disobedience to God, Satan will be happy to arrange the transportation.”
• Running away from God will always cost you more than you estimate!

Is there an area of my life where I’m telling God no?

• God chases after Jonah – Jonah 1:4-15

(Proverbs 30:4; Psalm 135:7; Hebrews 12:6; Proverbs 3:11-12)

• Playing hide and seek with God is futile and foolish – you can’t hide from God.  
• God is always with us…what a gift!
• God gives us consequences to teach us for our good.

• God wins (He always does!) – Jonah 1:16–2:6a

(Psalm 89:9; Matthew 12:38-42)

• God can use even our disobedience for His glory.
• If it is written in God’s Word, then we should believe it!
• God always listens to our prayers.
• God sometimes brings us to our knees to get us there.

• Jonah wins – Jonah 2:6b-10

(Psalm 18:6; Psalm 37:39; Psalm 103:12; 1 Corinthians 15:58)

• Knowing God’s Word and being able to call on it whenever we need it is a priceless gift that we shouldn’t take for granted. 
• Restoration with God is winning!

***Just as we see God clearly in Jonah’s story, your life is also telling a story.  

Can you clearly see God in it? ***

***Is your “yes” on the table? ***
