For the month of March we find ourselves back into the Old Testament. In the book of Jonah to be exact. It is so amazing to me to see how Gods word, written thousands of years ago, is still so relevant today. Perhaps even more so than a years past. We are going to study this week about a prophet who gets a call to preach to a group of people in Ninevah. Probably when you were growing up Ninevah seemed as imaginary to you as the North Pole, however because of our world today I bet many of you would be surprised to know that Ninevah is actually very close to a region we are ALL to familiar with now. Does the city Mosul, Iraq sound familiar. Thats right, I think we can all kind of feel what Jonah was feeling when God sent him there? What if God called you to preach his word to Al-Qaeda,( Now I realize that most of the Iraqi's are not Al-qaeda, Im trying to make a point). Would you be willing to go to a region that was so hostile or would you rebell too?!!
