Icebreaker:
What is the biggest opportunity you have ever been given?
How did it work out?
What is the biggest opportunity you have ever passed up?
Scripture:
Jonah 1:1-17, 2:9, 3:1-5
Lesson:
Have you ever observed
a parent bargaining with a child about going somewhere? As an innocent by-stander, it can be quite
humorous. “Do you want to go to the
grocery store with me? I will get you
ice cream afterwards.” The child’s
answer is always “No!” God is not a
bargaining parent. He did not give Jonah
a choice or a promise of a treat afterwards.
God said, “Go” to which the petulant child in Jonah said, “No.”
God’s Call is Unmistakable.
Jonah 1:1-17
Why do you think God assigned Nineveh to Jonah?
What can we learn from Jonah’s initial refusal to obey
God?
Why do we run from God?
We Renew Our Mission
when we remember our own Salvation. Jonah 2:9
How sincere was Jonah’s prayer while in the fish?
Why did God give him a second chance to do the right
thing?
What was the result of Jonah’s obedience?
Jonah’s Second Chance.
Jonah 3:1-5
Why did God show mercy to Nineveh?
What was Jonah’s response to that mercy?
How does this story end?
(Write Jonah Chapter 5.)
