The Old Testament Book of Jonah is not the story of a great fish.

It is the story of a great God.

In a world on the verge of judgment and desperate for a spiritual awakening,

it holds a message we all need. Salvation is of the Lord.

Join us in the book of Jonah today as we study God's Word with Scott Pauli.

What does God want from me anyway?

Have you ever had that question?

Have you ever pondered?

What is it God really wants?

Would you like to know the answer?

God wants you.

And he wants all of you.

God wants obedience. We're studying through the book of Jonah and we're

looking at Jonah running in Jonah chapter number one away from the presence of the Lord. Let's

review for just a moment because God has given us several things. We have a revelation. The revelation

is that there's nothing greater in life than God's presence.

We have an application. The application is that every one of us is either moving toward the Lord

or we're moving further from the Lord. Which direction are you going today?

And then we have a declaration. The declaration is that any step away from God is always a step

down. Do you see the downward slide of Jonah?

How sad, how tragic it is to see him move from where he was to where he ended up.

But then praise God, we come to a great invitation in Jonah chapter number one.
