What Is Keeping You From Applying God's Word? (2 of 4)
Series: Underwater
Jeff Geyer
Jonah 1:17; 2:1-10
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 1, we talked how disobedience always starts with a choice. We discovered as we walked through the first chapter of Jonah that disobedience leads to descent and depression and comes with collateral damage. Yet no matter how far you are from God grace is always available.
This week in chapter 2, we'll discover that God does something unexpected to the reader in that time. Usually when we think of chapter 2 the focus is the big fish that shallows Jonah, but what if that wasn't the shocking news to the reader at that time. We'll find that it was what God offered Jonah. Not only does God offer it to Jonah...He offers it to us too.
Tension:
What is the hardest thing to do when confronted with someone who decides to ignore your ask, decision, request, or command?
This applies to parents, teachers, coaches, leaders in the military, managers/bosses, and spouses...pretty much everyone listening/watching.
How do you want to respond?
Lash out (email, text, call, meeting)
Get angry (emotionally charged)
Punish (fire, suspend, bench, detention, sit out)
Can't stop thinking about it (conversations in your mind)
Boundaries (you're re-reading the book)
We'll discover as we walk through the second chapter of Jonah that our disobedience can ...
