When You Don’t Want to Go:
Running Away From God – Jonah 1
The people of Nineveh were guilty of:
- Plotting against God
- Taking advantage of the helpless
- Cruelty in war
- False Worship
o False Gods
o Flesh/Self
o False Spirituality
When Jonah Ran:
- He denied righteousness
- He denied responsibility
- He denied reality
When we deny or even ignore God’s call, it causes Him to question if we ever loved Him in the first place.
God will find a way to get your attention if you walk away from His call.
Main Point: Don’t wait for a storm or a big fish to turn you around – When God calls you to move…move!
