Discussion Questions: 1. When life doesn’t go how you expected even though you were trying to follow God how do you respond? 2. Jonah didn’t run because he misunderstood God but because he knew God was merciful. What does that reveal about Jonah’s heart and maybe ours too? 3. Look at Jonah 2 verse 8. What might you be holding onto that’s actually keeping you from experiencing more of God’s love? 4. The sermon suggested that suffering might be the place where God does His best work. Do you agree? Why or why not? 5. Has there ever been a time when something you thought was ruining your life ended up saving it? What did that teach you about God?
