God's Will: Hulk Hogan Vs. Andre The Giant

Running from God’s will
Jonah 1:1-3:4 Introduction: Have you ever had times where you want to go one way and God want’s you to go in the opposite direction?

He repeatedly pleads with you to not hire him. If you hire him he will do the work grudgingly. His heart is not in the work. Now there is another person. He says I have nothing to offer to you but myself. I will do this better than anyone can. I am willing to do whatever it takes to further this company. You hire him he does just that. Do you put God in that
