1. Who is your most bitter enemy?  What characteristics about them do you hate?

2. Read John 4:1-4.  What do you think Joanh wants to happen to his enemies?  Have you ever thought that about your enemies?

3. Read Jonah 4:5-11.  What do you think God is trying to get Jonah to see and understand through his questions of Jonah?

Quotes from Sermon

“6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands,[a] forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.””

— Exodus 34:6-7

“Speaking form his hospital bed, Wilson described his last conversation with his daugher “She held my hand tightly, and gripped me as hard as she could. She said, “Daddy, I love you very much.” Those were her exact words to me and those were the last words I ever heard her say.” to the astonishment of listeners, Wilson went on to add, “But I will bear no ill will. I will bear no grudge. Bitter talk is not going to bring her back to life. I will pray tonight and every night for the men who did this, that God will forgive them.” No words in more than twenty five years of violence in Northern Ireland had such a powerfu, emotional impact ”

— Willam Ury, the thrid side...why we fight and how we can stop

“This is the gift our enemy may be able to bring us: to see aspects of ourselves that we cannot discover any other way than through our enemies. Our friends seldom show us our flaws; they are our friends precisely because they are able to overlook our ignore those parts of us. The enemy is therefore not merely a hurdle to be leaped over on the way to God. Our enemy might actually be the way to God. we cannot come to terms with oru own inner shadows except through our enemies. We have almost no other access to those unacceptable parts of ourselves that need redeeming except through the mirror that our enemies hold up to us”

— Walter Wink, Engaging the Powers.
