The book of Jonah has really challenged our heart and faith for the mission God has called us to.  In this message we explore some of the joys and challenges that come from being called to do mission as a team.  The book of 3 John is a fantastic example of both the triumphs and trials of team ministry.  By exploring it we are both encouraged and challenged about the roles we play in working together to share and declare the love and truth of Jesus to whoever He connects us with.

Have you ever felt like God wanted you to do something but struggled to follow through?  The story of Jonah is a great example of someone getting a clear call from God but choosing to run in the other direction.  Why?  It was all to do with the condition of his heart.  Sometimes our desires, priorities and loyalties simply don't match up with God's; and there can be a struggle to bring them into alignment.  Jonah's struggle reveals a lot to us about the glorious character of God and also the deceptiveness of our own hearts.  It gives us a great opportunity to check on ourselves to see whether we are running on mission or from mission.  Like Jonah we've been given a mission to bring God's grace and truth to those who need it, but what are the heart issues for us that cause us to run the other way?
