<br/><br/>Part 1. God's call upon every servant  (Jonah 1:1-2) --  Under orders Part 2. The anatomy of stumbling (Jonah 1:1-16) --  God speaks, but we choose a different pathways --  Sleeping while others are perishing --  Giving lip-service to following God in the midst of rebellion --  Choosing death over repentance Part 3. God's discipline and the servant's restoration (Jonah 1:17-4:11) --  Swallowed up in God's discipline --  The God of the second chance --  The God who pursues sinners-- The sins of a stumbling heart --  Ensuring obedience has a fighting chance. 
<br/><br/> Stumbling toward obedience can help every believer who reads and applies its wisdom to walk more obediently with Christ, identifying propensities toward failure, in order for God's will to be engaged more consistently.
