Dig In Questions

1) Do you remember a time when you were running away from God? What was it that caused you to run from Him?

2) In the teaching, it was said that “While you can run away from God, you can’t outrun God”. When you were running from God, how did He find you and bring you back to Himself?

3) Have you ever found yourself trying to accomplish something to the point of trying every possible way to bring about the desired outcome, only to find yourself saying, “The only thing we can do is pray”?  Why is prayer often our last resort?

4) In the teaching, it was said that “Sin is not just outright rebellion, it is also begrudging obedience. Sin is not just unconditional hostility to God; it is also conditional obedience to God”. Have you recognized those sins (begrudging obedience & conditional obedience) being played out in your own life? If so, how?

5) It can be easy for us to criticize Jonah for not wanting to show and tell of God’s love and salvation to his enemies. How willing are you to show God’s love and salvation to your enemies? How often are showing His love and salvation to your friends? What would God need to do to make you willing to do so?
