Jonah 4. Jonah is angry because God spares the Ninevites (-Israel's enemies who weren't good at all) when they repent in response to his warning message. God's response and what we can learn from that.

Jonah's reluctance and slowness in getting in the message doesn't make him the obvious choice to be God's messenger.

Thinking about Jonah chapter 3.

The prophets show us we can hear but not really be paying attention or ready to do what we're being told - even a prophet can be guilty of this, like Jonah.

Isaiah 61:1ff. Jesus sets us free to ...serve!

Text:Romans 12:1ff. God calls each of us individually and together as His church to serve one another and the world as Jesus did.

Text:Acts 2:42ff

Family service - reflecting on what we know through our faith in Jesus - that we are God's family.

Thinking about Paul's command in Ephesians 5:15-20 to go on being filled by the Holy Spirit and so become more and more like Jesus and part of God's family as He wants us to be.

Talking and listening is key to any relationship - so too prayer with our God as Jesus showed us..
