Our new Life Group series is set to kick off Easter Sunday. The thought for it was born in my heart late in 2006 when I looked in the mirror and saw a man I used to laugh at in Sunday School. This series is a confession.
I am Jonah.
I am Jonah when I hide from the city that Jesus loves. I am Jonah when I lack love and hoard grace. I am Jonah when I avoid people because I don't like them. I am Jonah when I prefer the safety of a church building over the needs of my mission field.
But I don't want to be a reluctant missionary like Jonah. I want to be a radical missionary like Jesus. I want to live love and give grace.
And I want the same for you.
