Jonah Series (Overview)

Runaway

Ideas:

Running from God is running towards Him

Are we OK with God loving those who we don’t love?

Christians can be the most disobedient and stubborn people.

God doesn’t have to work according to my preferences.

God has people in the most unexpected places.

You are not God.

Even fleeing the presence of God brings us right back to Him.

You can’t run, you can’t hide. Just respond.
