Jonah goes to preach to Nineveh, and then is angry when the people respond to his message.

• Obedience – God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but Jonah ran the other way. After God got his attention, Jonah finally went even though he didn’t want to.  Are you currently acting in disobedience?  Are you obeying only because you feel like you have to?  Or are you obeying out of love for God and people?
• Mercy – Jonah is a story about mercy. God shows mercy first to Jonah, and then to Nineveh.  But Jonah doesn’t think God should show mercy to Nineveh, and so he is angry.  What about you?  God has shown you great mercy.  Are you willing to extend that mercy to others?
