2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • God sees what they do and does not send the disaster. What is God like?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • Nineveh were the enemy — the ones who had hurt Israel. How does it feel when God is kind to people you think don't deserve it?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Who do you think does not deserve God's kindness? What will you pray for them this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who thinks they are too far gone for God? What does Nineveh say to them?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
