Intentionally Act
- Search your heart for the same sinful tendencies of Jonah. Confess those to the Lord and repent of them, trusting in the finished work of Christ.
- Consider the mercy of God displayed toward the Ninevites and Jonah in this book.
- Consider the grace of God to include the Gentiles in the church. Praise God for his lavished grace toward us in the church through Christ.
- Repent of anything in you that would despise God’s mercy given to anyone based on ethnicity, nationality or anything else. Consider the teaching of Christ in 15 and submit yourself to it.
- Pray for the preaching of God’s Word this Lord’s day – that it would bear lasting fruit in the lives of all who hear.
- Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
- Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Mark Krystyniak: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Sam Walker: teaching.
