Today on Summit Life with J.D.

Grieer.

There's a lot of godly people who look like they're walking with God

and every other way, like Jonah.

But there's some area.

There's some area they're saying no to him in.

Listen, listen, you are never farther from God

than when you're close to him and you say no.

What Jonah is is a guy who is religious and upstanding in every way,

but he's got one area where he's like no God you cannot touch this. Thanks for joining us today on Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer, and happy New Year.

As always, I'm your host Molly Vittevich and you're starting the new year off right in

God's word.

Question for you, have you ever tried to run and hide from God only to figure out later that you should

have run towards him instead?

That's our subject today on Summit Life as we begin a highly relevant teaching series to start

this new year called Castaway.

Pastor Jady is opening the Book of Jonah to remind us of God's relentless love for runaway

prophets and rebellious people.

You can learn more about summit life when you visit us at J.D.grier.com.

Now as always, grab your Bible and join Pastor Jady with today's teaching titled, I am Jonah.

Jonah, chapter 1 verse 1.

Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amatai, said arise and go to Nineveh.
