A Reluctant Response to an Intriguing Invitation
March 10, 2024 • James Cameron • Jonah 1:1–3
The "On Mission" series, founded on Divine Anticipation and the story of Jonah, is designed to be more than just a religious story. It's a practical guide that connects directly with our daily lives and our journey with Jesus. Much like Jonah, we all face moments of reluctance and uncertainty in response to God's call, and we often encounter life's tumultuous storms that leave us seeking direction.
As we study Jonah’s life, we will also discover Divine Anticipation – God's eager desire to work through us, regardless of our initial hesitations. It's a tangible reminder that Divine Anticipation is not some abstract concept; it's the very heartbeat of our relationship with Jesus. Through the stories of Jonah's challenges and second chances, we are reminded of God's boundless compassion and unwavering love for all people. This compels us to extend that same compassion to the world around us. Even when we may be reluctant to obey, God still desires to move in and through us to accomplish his purposes.
What's crucial to understand is that this Divine Anticipation isn't restricted to a place or time – it's an ongoing reality that mirrors God's profound desire to work through us in His grand plan, both on a local and global scale. We warmly invite you to embark on this journey of embracing God's anticipation for transformation, actively participating in His purpose, and discovering your unique role in making a positive impact on the world. Your presence and engagement during this series will not only enrich your walk with Jesus but will also help you answer His call in a meaningful way.
