Wausau, WI
Study Details
-
Study Objective and Exercise:
-
Grow in our understanding of:
-
God's heart and ways toward mankind as a whole
-
God's heart and ways toward His workers
-
Jonah's heart as God exposes it
-
The application of the above to ourselves.
-
Study Preparation Considerations
In Jonah's two assignments from God, we learn about the hearts of God and Jonah. God will expose each. Consider the following in preparation for the study:
-
What is God's heart toward mankind?
-
What delights the heart of Jonah?
-
How does God:
-
display His (God's) own heart to Jonah?
-
expose Jonah's heart to Jonah?
-
respond when Jonah disobeys?
-
respond when Jonah repents?
-
respond when Jonah works/preaches?
-
respond when Jonah grumbles and is angry?
-
Can we see beyond this "children's fish story" the simple but profound insight that God has for us His workers?
-
What happens if this insight (lesson) goes unrealized or unlearned?
-
What does this insight, this exposure of our hearts, cause us to do?
