SERMON NOTES
经文 Scripture: Jonah 3; Luke 2:8-20
Discussion Questions
1. When have you resisted God’s call, and how did He patiently lead you to respond?
2. What boundaries comfort zones or prejudices is God asking you to cross now to fulfill His purpose?
3. How might your words or actions sometimes distort God’s mercy? How can you reflect His heart better?
4. Are there areas where you need to let go of resistance or judgment? How can you align your heart with God’s desire to save others?
