Jonah 1:4-6 (NLT)

4 But the LORD hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart.

5 Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship. But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold.

6 So the captain went down after him. “How can you sleep at a time like this?” he shouted. “Get up and pray to your god! Maybe he will pay attention to us and spare our lives.”

Jonah’s Concern – God is merciful.

Jonah’s Conduct – He traveled in the opposite direction.

Jonah’s Crisis – God sent a storm.

        • A Time of Destruction

        •  A Time of Desperation

       •  A Time of Deliverance

Romans 13:11

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
