2. I Hope You Can Swim He said to them, "Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you." (Jonah 1.12; ESV)
3. I Hope You Can Swim Why did they throw Jonah into the sea? Their gods did not work… …but GOD did! See Jonah 1.4-6
4. I Hope You Can Swim Have you ever been thrown into the sea? Have you tried to run, but running did not work? Have you tried to do it yourself, when doing it yourself did not work? Are you Jonah?
5. What to do When You Can’t Swim Jonah prayed. (Jonah 2.2-9) Did Jonah think he would live? Jonah cried out from the grave! (Jonah 2.2)
6. From the Belly to the Beach Jonah was “delivered” by God’s favor. (John 2.10) Will Jonah keep his promise to God? Remember the promise of Jonah? (Jonah 2.9)
7. From the Belly to the Beach What have you promised God? A greater life? A committed heart? Sharing the message? Are you living your promise?
