Does your life feel like a constant struggle with God? Like you are always swimming against the tide? We all have our favorite passages in the Bible. There's nothing wrong with clinging to encouraging and inspirational words from God. But, what about other parts of the Bible? You know: the parts we prefer to ignore, or wish didn't even exist.

Does your life feel like a constant struggle with God? Like you are always swimming against the tide? We all have our favorite passages in the Bible. There's nothing wrong with clinging to encouraging and inspirational words from God. But, what about other parts of the Bible? You know: the parts we prefer to ignore, or wish didn't even exist. God has shown all of us things we know we should address. Yet, how often do we ignore the things God reveals, because they make us uncomfortable? It's easy to neglect truth that-if God really means what He says-will require significant changes to our lives. It's easy to rationalize them away, or pretend they don't exist at all. But, where does that leave us? In a place of willful disobedience. This pattern is precisely what the book of Jonah is about. Jonah was a prophet who, like us, loved some of God's word but not all of it. Dr. Joseph Davis, founding pastor of GraceLife Church in Sarasota, Florida, is the author of The GraceLife: What Philippians Teaches Us About Loving One Another Relentlessly , Growing to Love God's Word: An In-Depth Study of Psalm 119, and Surviving Egypt: The Life of Joseph. Davis uses the story of Jonah, along with his own life experiences, to show how God relentlessly pursues us despite our willful disobedience, brings us to repentance, and chooses to use us. In this honest, vulnerable look at the life of Jonah, you'll be challenged to: Avoid considering yourself more worthy than others of God's grace Allow God to find you instead of attempting to hide from Him Reignite your enthusiasm for living in obedience to God Open your heart to true confession and repentance Share the full message of God's gospel without sugarcoating the truth Identify signs of anger, bitterness, and resentment toward God Respond to God's guidance without engaging in constant struggle If you find it hard to swim in the stormy sea of life, and you just can't understand why it's so difficult, perhaps-like for Jonah-it's your willful, selective obedience. Together, we will look at Jonah's story from historical, spiritual, and personal perspectives. We will learn about the hard lessons Jonah experienced regarding grace, judgment, and repentance. Begin your Swimming Lessons today, knowing they're all included as part of God's grace!
