Reflection Questions

1. When you think about conflict, do you usually see it as something to avoid or something God might use? Why?

2. Can you identify a recent situation where you felt “stuck” or conflicted? What choice were you struggling to make?

3. Jonah obeyed outwardly but not inwardly. Where in your life might you be doing the right thing without having the right heart?

4. Why do you think Jonah resisted God’s mercy toward Nineveh? In what ways might we struggle with similar attitudes toward others?

5. God ends Jonah with a question rather than an answer. What question do you sense God is asking you right now, and how will you respond?
