Today's Message Title: Short Memories, Missed Opportunities
by Pastor Derrel Strickland

Description:
When Jonah went to Nineveh, they repented and God blessed them. Unfortunately, they soon forgot their commitments and went back to their old ways and they failed to take advantage of their opportunity.
⬇️ Next Steps ⬇️
Discussion Questions:

Do you think that if the people of Nineveh had repented the second time that God would have forgiven them? Why or why not?

Name some ways our nation has forgotten God. Some ways our churches have forgotten God.

Have you ever missed an opportunity? How can we avoid missing God given moments or God given appointments?

Jonah: More Than a Fish Story

Jonah: More Than a Fish Story

RightNow Media Bible Study Suggestion

The Book of Jonah, by Eric Mason

At the end of the day, God is less concerned with what we do for Him than who we are in Him. Few figures illustrate that truth better than Jonah. Focused on the prophet rather than his prophecy, the story of Jonah gives us a picture of a man on the run due to his own selfish desires. Instead of showing mercy to his enemies, he determined to keep God's grace to himself rather than share it with those he considered undeserving. Can you relate?

Over the course of 8 verse-by-verse sessions, pastor and author Eric Mason expands our vision to see that Jonah's story is our own. Far more than a thrilling Sunday school adventure, it offers a profound glimpse into the conflict that occurs when God calls resistant believers to His mission. More importantly, it underscores the depths of His compassion not only in redeeming the lost, but redeeming those He has called to participate in His reconciling work. 

So climb aboard and settle in as Eric reveals how God uses extraordinary circumstances to break our hearts of selfishness, convince us of His tender care, and unite our lives to His glory.
