0:00.0	If you ever found yourself out of sync with God's purposes or his will, thinking your
0:29.5	plan was better than his plan, or maybe you knew what he wanted you to do, you just didn't want to do it?
0:35.4	What happens when we try to outmaneuver God? We're considering questions like these on Truth for Life Weekend, as
0:43.3	Alistair Begg begins a study in the book of Jonah.
0:46.5	Jonah chapter 1 and verse 1, the word of the Lord came to Jonah's son of Amitai, go to the great city of
0:58.9	Nineveh and preach against it because its wickedness has come up before me. But Jonah ran away from the
