Jonah was focused on the insignificant, Jon. 4:5-11 Comfort in the plant ­ Our focus on the next episode of XYZ ­ Intense interest in sports ­ Which college will my child get into

Jonah was focused on the insignificant, Jon. 4:5-11 Disregard for the innocent ­ Not helping spouse be a better Christian ­ Not raising children in the Lord ­ Not leading others to the Lord
