Pastor Tim Richards continues the series, "Forgotten Prophets" looking at Jonah.

 

SERMON QUESTIONS

1. The prophet Jonah is famous for his encounter with a whale. That was only necessary because Jonah was trying to run away from what God wanted him to do. Have you ever tried to run away from something you knew God wanted you to do? If so, what was it that turned you around?

2. Jonah wanted nothing to do with the pagan, violent people of Ninevah. If Jonah were living today, who do you think he might want nothing to do with?

3. The story of Jonah ends with an object lesson involving a dead plant (Jonah 4:6-11). What was God trying to teach Jonah? Why do you think the story ends on God’s question but no answer from Jonah?

4. Jesus referred to himself as a type of Jonah (Matthew 12:38-41) but said he was a greater Jonah. How does Jesus compare to Jonah and in what way(s) is he a greater Jonah? #Sermon #sundaymorning #WorshipService #worship #prophets
