FAMILY THEME: GOD PURSUES THE DISOBEDIENT

Jonah 1:1-17

One of the most famous stories in Scripture is Jonah and the

"whale". The familiar story has much to teach us about our

God and our relationship with Him.

1.  Running From God is Never a Good Idea

     (Jonah 1:1-6)

     The best way to respond to God is with obedience.

 
2.  Our Disobedience Affects Those Around Us

     (Jonah 1:7-10)

     It is very common for disobedient people to say some

     variation of "My sin only affects me". This, however,

     is a myth.

     

3.  God Disciplines Us With Grace When We Disobey

     (Jonah 1:11-17)

     God loves us too much to leave us alone when we

     disobey. He always works to get us back on the

     right track.
