REFLECT | 'What is going on in our lives right now?’

ENGAGE | ‘How do we engage with what God is saying to us?

1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”

• How comfortable are you with interruptions?

• When has God spoken to you?

3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.

• What would it look like if we were able to hear God the same way Jonah did?

• What would happen if we responded positively every time God prompted us concerning something?

4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. 

• What other storms do you know of in the bible?

• What constitutes a storm in your life? Health/finance/relationships/family/friends/work/disappointments etc..

• Are there storms in your life at the moment?

  • Are they the consequences of your own or other people’s actions?

  • What is your response to the storm? How do you self-medicate?
