Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Jonah 3:2

Have you ever thought of yourself as a missionary? Have you ever defined the place where you live or work as your mission field? This week we’re going to focus on God’s plan for all of us to be missionaries in our own mission field. We don’t have to go overseas. We can spread the gospel to the people around us, just by loving them!

Let's focus on heroes of the faith who model for us what it looks like to “go!” These heroes were ordinary folks like us. They had a burning message of hope for their generation. Some suffered; some struggled; some were young; some were older; but all of them shared the hope that God had given them.

At the heart of the Christian story is the love of God for his people. But the staggering thing is how God's love extends to his enemies as well. That same love compels God's people to extend love to neighbour and enemy.

"Arise and go" were the words spoken to Jonah as God called him to share His message with others. Today, He’s calling us to make Christ known to our neighbors, community, and around the world, to GO and make disciples of all nations. In this devotional study, we'll explore why the work of missions is important, God's heart for missions, and how we can get in the global story.

It's often easy for us to beat up on Jonah for his self-centered, foolish rebellion. But as we'll discover, there's a bit of Jonah in all of us. Overcome by self-centeredness and personal prejudices, we too sometimes resist God's call. Thankfully, when we act like Jonah, God acts like God—lovingly pursuing us with his unrelenting grace. It's a wild ride, but one you don't want to miss!
