1. "We want to be praying with you because we really believe there's people right in your neighborhood, right where you are, who don't know Christ. We live in the south, and it's a very Christian area. But there's also, I remember years ago, we were doing research at a church in Jonesville where we were kicking off a church out there. And even in the middle of Union County, which is just the next county over, right? Even in the middle of Union County, there was 70% of people that don't attend the church regularly on a Sunday morning."

2. "Most people aren't just drive by, and I saw it on the side. I'm in. There's some to do that, but the vast majority of people that come to church come because a friend invited them to be at church with them. And so we want to give you the tools to be able to do that. So think of three people. You might have a cashier that checks you out every week at Food Lion, or you might have a restaurant that you go to regularly and you see the waitress all the time, or wherever it is."

3. "God, we pray that you would just provide everything that we need. And God, we know you do way more than that. You do way more than we need. You take care of our wants. You take care of way beyond what we even think or we imagine, God. God, you're working in the background. You're working, and you're working in the lives of people around us. So God, as we think about it, as we go out and we start to invite people, join us here at church. It's not so that we have a big church and a bunch of people here. It's so that people can get an opportunity to know you and to have that relationship with you."

4. "In your relationship with God, in your relationship with him, don't settle for a crisis-driven relationship. Right? Don't settle for this crisis-driven relationship with God. That like, I have a relationship with God when I need him. When something bad happens. When something difficult is happening. That's when I go to God. But the other times, it's just kind of like, whatever. Right? God wants so much more out of a relationship than just this crisis-driven relationship."

5. "He's saying, God, thanks for being patient with me, but I'm never going to be patient with them. Right? He's saying, Thanks for giving me a second chance, but I'll never give Nineveh a second chance. You know, he said, You know, thanks for forgiving me, but I'll never forgive them. That's what he's going through and that's what he's doing. He was angry because he was hurt. And maybe some of you in here, maybe some of you have been hurt. I think all of us have gone through hurt. We've gone, whether it's from other people, whether it's from situations, whatever it may be. We've been hurt."

6. "God knew what he needed when he needed it. He provided a vine for the shade exactly when he needed it. Then he provided a storm. Earlier, he provided a storm when he needed it. He provided a worm when he needed it. He provided that scorching east wind when he needed it because he needed to get his attention. He needed to get him to listen. He knew what Jonah needs. And God sends exactly what we need at any time. Right? He sends exactly what we need, but he sends it when we need it."

7. "God provides rejections. And through that process, he ended up providing a church in Flint, Michigan. Like, who goes to Flint, Michigan? Right? Especially, we were living in Florida. Like, I'm like, who goes from Florida to Michigan? Everybody goes the other way. They leave Michigan and go to Florida, right? We went the opposite way. And we did it on January 1st of 2013 in the middle of a snowstorm. And I was like, we were going from Florida to Flint, Michigan in a snowstorm. And I remember driving up there. We stopped at, like, a gas station or something. And our kids were playing in the snow. And they're like, why does this hurt?"

8. "God is the God of the vine. But he's also the God of the worm. He's also the God of the storm. He's the God of all of that. And so we've got in number three is thank God for the vine and for the worm. Right? Thank God for the vine that he provided something comfortable for Jonah. He provided him some relief. But he also provided a way to make him move forward and start going where God wanted him to go, to continue to do what God called him to do. So you've got to thank God for the vine. You also thank God for the worm."

9. "So he's saying, you know, you're concerned about this vine. You did nothing. You didn't like plant it. You didn't tend to it. You didn't do anything. It sprung up and it was there and then it died overnight. But look at this city of 120,000 people of people who are they can't tell their left hand from their right. They don't know what's right. They don't know what's wrong. There's people that are dying totally separated from God. And yet you're just concerned about your comfort. You're only concerned about you. What about them? What about the people right there?"

10. "So one last thought is just simply that. That you need to make a difference and go to Nineveh. That's what we're called to do. Make a difference. Go to Nineveh. And when you go to Nineveh, realize it's not about you. Because Jonah, he still preached. He went. He did it. But he was so focused on him that he missed these people that were right there. He was just waiting for God to come. He had to do something horrible to them. And God showed grace. He showed forgiveness. Because they repented. They turned back. And instead of being excited for it, he was angry."
