When we are faced with something that we fear or something that is unfamiliar, our first response is often to flee. Even when it is God who is leading us, our instinct is often to run from something that challenges us. This Sunday, we will look at the quintessential story of someone who chose to flee from God. Jonah sought to avoid God’s guidance to go to Nineveh seeking an easier path. But what he found instead was far more challenging. While we may think that running from challenges brings us greater safety, what we often find is that we are actually running from the wrong things.
