In this exploration of the story of Jonah, we're challenged to confront the tension between God's will and our own. The story of Jonah fleeing from God's command to preach to Nineveh serves as a mirror for our own lives. How often do we, like Jonah, resist God's call when it's inconvenient or conflicts with our personal desires? This message invites us to examine our hearts and consider whether there are people or situations we'd rather avoid, even at the cost of disobeying God. It reminds us that while we have free will, our choices can lead us down a difficult path when they diverge from God's plan. The concept of Providence is central here, prompting us to reflect on how God's protective care operates even when we're running in the opposite direction.
Note: Due to technical issues, the music was not included in this video. Also the sermon ending was abrupt. What is missed is the final question - "Which will prevail, my way or God's way?"
