During this series please consider reading through the book of Jonah daily with your family or on your own. After each sermon, questions will be provided to guide your reading and prayer time. God's blessings in your study!
1. The Ninevites were a dangerous people who were more likely to murder than repent. And yet, God's word changed their hearts! What are some of the problems your friends face, whether sins or struggles, that could use the Good News of Jesus?
2. The Ninevites are a tremendous example to us of what repentance should look like. Repentance consists of sorrow for sin, faith in Jesus, and a turning from the old sins. What sins do you need to repent and receive forgiveness for?
3. Continue to pray for your friends who need to repent and for God to give you strength and wisdom in sharing your faith with them!
