BREAKTHROUGH: Runaway - Jonah
from Risen Church NC · host Risen Church NC
The story of Jonah often gets reduced down to cartoonish caricature of a defiant, rebellious unbeliever. However, the story of Jonah is actually a very relevant, reflection of the average, complacent believer. By all accounts, Jonah is a good man - better than most in his generation. Jonah had served many years as a faithful prophet in Israel, but at some point, he drifted to a place of self-righteousness and religious pride. Jonah was ready to serve God... up until a certain point. One day, God asked him to do something that challenged his comfort levels and worldview, and that's where Jonah drew the line. Listen as we discuss this threshold of obedience that all of us are guilty of setting in place and learn how Jonah offers us all a reflection of where complacency and selfishness can take any believer.
