Jonah Part 5: The Frustration

Jonah 4:1-11

Pastor Bob Hiller
3/9/2008

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Romans 2:1

I. There is no one in our life from whom we should ________ the gospel.

II. We don't get to know how Jonah responds to God, but we are left to deal with our ________ to God's question.

III. What is ________ you from sharing the news of Jesus?

Scripture Readings
Jonah 4:1-11, Romans 2:1-4, Matthew 20:1-15

Take It With You!
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. Jonah was incredibly bias against the Ninevites. The tough question we have to ask ourselves is this, "Do I have any biases that are preventing me from sharing the Gospel?" If so, turn to the Lord in repentance and seek his overwhelming forgiveness. (Note: Being bias against someone is not limited to being racist.)

2. What else might prevent you from sharing your faith? What steps can you take to remove these barriers? Try starting with humility and repentance.

3. Pray that the Lord would continue to build your confidence and faith in him as you seek to share Christ with your loved ones (and ones you don't love so much!).
