TEACHING: Taking God Seriously – Part 1

The story of Jonah is about a man who knows God and has sound theology,  but does not take Him seriously. In this way, the story of Jonah is really the story of our lives. We are more fearful of those who might find out about the hidden aspects of our lives rather than the One who already knows. All sin can be traced back to not taking God seriously.
