The message that I give you

Oct 22, 2017    Pastor Christian Simas    Jonah 3:1-5

Personal Reflection/Study Questions:

-Use Scripture to support your answers.
1. Read Jonah 3:1-5 and John 8:10-11. Describe the similarity between the two passages. What is it that we are called to arise and step into?

2. Meditate on the ways the Gospel has overthrown your life, and what areas you might be holding back. Ask God for the faith to allow him to overthrow these areas as well.

Discussion Questions:

1. Think of a time when you were given a second (or third, or fourth) chance at something you should have done the first time. What about that opportunity made it memorable?

2. What does it mean to us that God uses men and women on at least their second chance to communicate his message?

3. Describe the mission field God has placed you in. Where do you see God giving you opportunity to share your faith?

4. Describe a time that you stepped out in faith to share the powerful message of the Gospel. In what ways was that difficult?

5. “God does forgive the past, but he does not erase it.” – Peter Scazzero
– In light of this, how should we think about our past?

6. What would it mean if we confidently stepped into God’s continual call for us to “Arise, go”?
