SENT
“I am Jonah”

Before you begin

Take a moment to pray and ask the Lord to speak to you through His Word, to give you wisdom and understanding of His Word, and to transform you according to His Word.

Read Jonah 1:1-3

As you read, consider these questions:

1. What is this text teaching me about God?

2. What is this text teaching me about me?

3. How do I apply this text to my life?

Text Specific Questions: Feel free to pick any of the following questions to work through individually and with your house church. Don’t feel like you have to get through them all, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you during your time together.

Remember, as we open our hearts, our Bibles, and our lives, let’s be sure that our pursuit and discussions lead us to Jesus, His Word, personal honesty, and actual action in the ways we live and  lead others. 

1. How does Jonah’s story encourage/challenge you with yours?

2. Have you ever felt that God was calling you to do something that doesn’t make sense? How did you respond? Have you ever refused God’s call?

3. Is there anything in your life currently, that you know God is calling you to, but you have been “running away” from? What would a step of obedience look like this week?

4. What does it look like to “be on mission” (co-laboring in God’s work) with God in this season of your life?


PRACTICE: Obedience - saying “Yes” to the Lord’s calling.

Each day pray and ask the Lord what He has for you today and how you can partner with Him in His work. Ask for His help in having a heart aligned to His. As the Lord reveals things to you (could be just one thing He brings to mind or puts on your heart) or presents an opportunity (to encourage, bless or minister to someone), say “yes” and do it. Share what happened with a trusted friend and at your house church gathering.
