0:00.0	We live in a fast-paced, ever-moving world where everyone seems to be rushing in every direction.
0:14.3	And yet, in scripture, God desires to teach us that walking with him is our greatest and most important adventure.
0:22.6	Join Scott Pauli along this journey as we rediscover the joy of our walk with Christ.
0:33.6	The last time we journeyed with Jonah, we found him running from God, running from the presence of the Lord.
0:42.9	You may think, well, I'm not out of church. I'm not living in some vile lifestyle. I'm not running from God.
0:50.0	But I'll remind you that sometimes the greatest prodigals are the ones that never physically leave home.
0:55.7	You'll remember in the New Testament, the elder brother, he was as far from the father's heart as his younger brother ever thought about being,
1:02.4	maybe further, and still living under the same roof.
1:05.1	And I'm afraid that sometimes, right in our Christian homes and in good churches, there are believers who are very far from the presence
1:13.8	of the Lord so let's go back to that thought today and this thought that's mentioned three times

1:24.4	has been dealing with me about the first is is this, that the presence of the Lord
1:28.2	is always connected to the Word of God. You see, that's the way the whole story begins. Now,
1:34.2	the Word of the Lord came. God speaks. In fact, throughout the entire book of Jonah, God is speaking
1:42.2	over and over and over again. That's the story of the whole Bible.
1:46.6	God speaks. He spoke in creation. He said one word, light, and there was light, and it was very good.
1:54.3	He spoke the worlds into existence with the power of his word. He spoke in the person of the Lord
2:00.1	Jesus Christ. Who is the Lord Jesus? He is the word
2:04.0	made flesh. He is the very expression of God. Hebrews 1 says God has spoken in divers manners or
2:12.4	different manners through the generations. But in these last days, he's spoken into us by his son.
2:19.2	If you want to hear from God, you have to hear Jesus. And then God has spoken to us through
2:24.2	His Word. That's what the scripture is. It is the very Word of God. It is God's voice to us.
