Jonah | The Runaway Prophet
The book of Jonah may be short, but it’s one of the richest four chapters in the Bible. At the center of the book is God's unexpected heart for those who are furthest away from him. As we spend this season reflecting on the mystery of God's mercy, our prayer is that God would continue to grow our heart for everyday mission as a church.
Discussion Questions
Jonah quotes from Exodus 34:6 to share his displeasure with God who is gracious, merciful and slow to anger. Has there been a time in your life where like Jonah, you’ve been angry with the very character of God?
Unrighteous anger isolates and separates. How have you experienced this to be true?
In what areas of your life are you building your own kingdom? How is God’s kingdom a better kingdom than ours?
Discuss ways in which you can individually and collectively create rhythms to remember and share the grace and mercies of God.
Prayer Points
Pray a prayer of thanksgiving for the grace and mercies of God in your life.
Pray for Sound City to be a body of believers joining together to build the kingdom of God.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you remember and share the grace and mercies of God with others.
