This week, Pastor Joie Miller preaches from The Book of Jonah, a biblical showcase of the consequences of pursuing what we want to do versus what we are called to do. After God instructed Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah fled from the seaport at Joppa instead. While Jonah tried to use his feelings towards the Ninevites to justify his actions, God had called him to go because he wanted him to grow. This year, reflect on the Joppas you’re justifying. Like Jonah, God will take you through to get you to.
