小组问题讨论:

1. 你是否有过类似于约拿的态度,拒绝顺服或试图逃避上帝对你生命的呼召和旨意。那之后面临了什么样的境况?你是否会有挣扎将爱延伸到那些作恶、犯罪,或者在你看来不值得被拯救的人身上,就像约拿对上帝给尼尼微人恩典和悔改的机会?
(约拿书 1:5b,9,12; 罗马书 5:6)

2. 上帝呼召差遣人出去时,对比以赛亚愿意服从和约拿不顺服的反差回应。明白上帝总是会派遣使者去宣扬上帝的国度,并会继续动员教会在当地开展外展事工和宣传福音,你是否愿意在职场上或在上帝安置你的范围内成为那个有效的见证人,还是会像约拿那样?
(约拿书 1:1-2a; 路加福音 4:43-44; 罗马书 10:15; 以赛亚书 6:8-9)

3. 是什么导致了上帝对约拿生命的计划和约拿对所呼召之事反应之间的分歧?解释顺服对你意味着什么,以及你需要如何做才能顺服于上帝的旨意,而不是屈服于自己的意志、心思或情感,来帮助你的生活一帆风顺。
(约拿书 1:15-17)

CG Discussion Questions:

1. Have you ever had similar attitude problem as Jonah, in refusing to submit or try to run away from God’s calling or will in your life, and what circumstances did you end up facing? Do you struggle to extend your love to those who committed wickedness or sins or those in your mind not deserve to be saved as how Jonah had his opinion against God’s grace in giving the opportunity for Nineveh to repent? (Jonah 1:5b, 9,12; Romans 5:6)

2. Compare the difference in response of Isaiah’s willingness and Jonah’ disobedience when God calls to send one out. Knowing that God will always send someone to proclaim the kingdom of God and will continue to mobilize the church to local outreach and world missions, are you willing to be that effective witness in the marketplace or in the sphere of influence where God has placed you or will you be like Jonah?
(Jonah 1:1-2a; Luke 4:43-44; Romans 10:15; Isaiah 6:8-9)

3. What caused the friction between God’s plan for Jonah and Jonah’s response to the call? Explain what submission means for you and what it takes for you to yield to the will of God instead of yielding to your own will, mind or emotion to have smooth sailing in your life.
(Jonah 1:15-17)
