Step Out Lesson 5
The document discusses a 6-week lesson on responding to God's call based on the story of Jonah. It explores how Jonah initially disobeyed God's call to preach to Nineveh but later obeyed. The goals are to understand obeying God allows one to fulfill their role in His mission and to evaluate ways one says no to God. It includes discussion questions about justifying disobeying God and being obedient as a teenager. It also reviews the key lessons that God's call never cancels, obeying allows participation in His mission, and obeying is always right regardless of feelings. Finally, it previews an activity asking students to consider who their own "Ninevites" are.
