If you're using this teaching for a Home Groups setting, we've included discussion prompts to help guide your conversation:

1. Look at Jonah 3:1. What does it show you about how God responds when we’ve failed or run from Him?

2. What part of Jonah’s story felt most like a mirror for you personally? Why?

3. How does the idea that “obedience is the bridge to breakthrough” challenge the way you’ve been responding to God lately?

4. Have you ever written yourself off when God hadn’t? What helped you realize He was still pursuing you?

5. Look at Romans 8:1. What does this verse reveal about how God sees you, even in the middle of your mess?

1. When life doesn’t go how you expected even though you were trying to follow God how do you respond?

2. Jonah didn’t run because he misunderstood God but because he knew God was merciful. What does that reveal about Jonah’s heart and maybe ours too?

3. Look at Jonah 2 verse 8. What might you be holding onto that’s actually keeping you from experiencing more of God’s love?

4. The sermon suggested that suffering might be the place where God does His best work. Do you agree? Why or why not?

5. Has there ever been a time when something you thought was ruining your life ended up saving it? What did that teach you about God?

If you're using this teaching for a Home Groups setting, we've included discussion prompts to help guide your conversation:

1. What do you think it means to “practice the presence of the Holy Spirit,” and how have you seen that impact your life or someone else’s?

2. Galatians 5:22–23 lists the fruit of the Spirit. Which of these do you most long to see grow in your life right now, and why?

3. The sermon described “plastic fruit” as counterfeit spirituality. Can you think of examples where you’ve tried to produce fruit through performance instead of real transformation?

4. What spiritual practices (like prayer, silence, solitude, etc.) do you feel drawn to, and how might those help create space for the Spirit to move?

5. The sermon said the Holy Spirit is your “unfair advantage.” What does that mean to you, and how could that change the way you approach your daily life or struggles?
