Jonah: from running to revival (Restored - Lesson 3)
Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 3 (Jonah 1:1-2; 2:2, 4, 7 & 9-10; 3:1-3; Romans 10:14-15; Genesis 2:7; Jeremiah 1:5; Psalms 51:12; 139:13-14; 1 Corinthians 6:20)
Jonah ran from God, but he got nowhere. We have free will to run from God, but it never pays off. Jonah eventually hit bottom, but God met him at his lowest point. Jonah experiences the grace of God! God restored Jonah after he surrendered.
God can do great things through restored people!
Series description: When we think of Jonah, we think of the guy that ran from God and got swallowed by a whale. There is nothing wrong with this thought, because it is what happened.
Have you stopped to think of why Jonah ran from God? He loved God, so why wouldn't he just obey. The truth is because Jonah struggled with something that we all struggle with in our daily lives. What is it? It is foundational to this story and we will expose it in this study!
