Verses Used:
- Jonah 3
Takeaways:
The Reluctant Messenger
- Jonah was God’s mission while he was on God’s mission.
- God doesn’t wait for us to “arrive” spiritually before sending us on mission.
The Repentant City
- Repentance is not just feeling bad about sin, it’s about belief and behavior.
The God of Mercy
- The Ninevites repented, so God relented.
- It was humans who changed their course, not God.
- The good news for us is that when we repent, we receive God’s mercy.
- The more we understand God’s mercy, the more we can extend it to others.
Discussion Questions:
- What kinds of things do we believe disqualify us from being God’s messengers?
- How might God expose what’s in our heart while living on mission?
- Do you think behavior modification brings lasting change? Why or why not?
- Can you think of a sinful behavior that is shaped by a wrong belief?
- How would you define mercy in your own words?
- Is it harder for you to receive God’s mercy or to show mercy to others? Why?
