What Is Something About God You Struggle With? (3 of 4)
Series: Underwater
Jeff Geyer
Jonah 3:1-10
Big Idea:
Our disobedience can never outrun nor overpower God's grace. A follower of Jesus is not only a receiver of grace but a product of grace.
Intro:
Have you ever been underwater? More specifically, have you ever been submerged or experience flooding? We'll dive into a story of a man who was underwater literally, emotionally, and spiritually. We'll learn how God is actually in control of our lives even when we are underwater. We'll learn how to get to the surface and experience peace in our relationship with God and others.
Each week we'll cover a chapter in the true story of Jonah.

Last week in chapter 2, we learned that that our disobedience can never outrun or overpower God's grace. We'll find that a follower of Jesus is not only a receiver of grace but a product of grace.
This week in chapter 3, we find Jonah arriving in Nineveh. After everything he experienced so far in this true story, he reluctantly obeyed and preached a heartless message. We'll see how the people of Nineveh respond to a five-word sermon from a reluctant prophet, who wanted their city to burn.
Tension:
Have you ever been reluctant? Ever hesitated?
Shooting a gun for the first time; hunting for the first time
My dad spent time teaching me how to shoot on Saturdays. He spent time teaching me the basics of the gun, safety, and how to shoot. I was very hesitant to shoot for the first time...the 12 gauge was very intimating to a 12 year-old, especially the kick back. So I reluctantly stepped up, firmly held the shotgun, took a breathe, aimed, took another breathe, and sho ...
