Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Jonah 1:1-17; 3:1-10

From the Sermon:

Out of the twelve minor prophets, _________ and __________ stand as unique.

What was not unique about Jonah was his __________ surrounding the ______ from God.

When God calls, God is ___________.

In Jonah 1, we see _________________ being open to the work and way and will of God. 

If we skip forward to chapter three, after Jonah has been spit up on dry land, the call of God comes to Jonah ________.

The call of God is always first and foremost about ________.

Reflection Questions:

How have we fled from God and the call of God as well?

As the people of God are we sharing the Good News of God’s compassion and care? Or are we running away from people who aren’t like us?

Are we proclaiming God’s mercy and grace that changed our lives? Or are we holding all of that in, like its a secret?

Prayer:

God, we confess that sometimes we think your call on our lives is about us, so we turn away from the call, rejecting it out of our self-will. Lord, remind us that your call is about you and your Kingdom, which you are inviting us to be a part of. Amen.
