The Runaway Prophet

Key Points





Jesus believed the reality of Jonah’s great fish experience;
we should too.


Jonah was asked to bring a message of repentance to the
Ninevites. 


Jonah attempted to run from the call of God and run
from the presence of God.


God appointed a storm to turn Jonah’s heart back to Him. In the
process, men with foreign gods were saved.


It is impossible to run away from the presence of God.


When we run from the calling of God to live according to the Word
and/or share the Word, we unknowingly affect those around us.


God’s mercy was given to Jonah when He appointed to him a great
fish.





Discussion Questions





Have you ever shrunk back from God’s call?


If repentance is at the heart of the Gospel, are you open and
willing to call others to repent from sin?


Discuss your takeaways from the message.


Read the book of Jonah and write a one sentence heading for each
chapter.
