The Book of Nahum

Discussion Questions:
  1. Read Nahum 1:2-8. What aspects of God's character are described here? Which ones are most challenging for you to embrace?
  2. Why do you think God was merciful to Nineveh in Jonah's time but brought judgment 100 years later? What does this teach us about God's patience and justice?
  3. How does the imagery in Nahum (floods, fire, lions, battle scenes) communicate the seriousness of God's judgment?
  4. Andrew mentioned that as a young believer, he thought "the Old Testament just didn't matter." Have you ever felt this way? What has helped you see its relevance?
  5. The sermon contrasted Jonah's question ("Should I not pity Nineveh?") with Nahum's question ("Upon whom has not come your unceasing evil?"). How do these two questions together give us a fuller picture of God?
  1. Andrew said, "If the book of Nahum shocks you because of the violence, then the cross should devastate you because Christ didn't deserve it." How does this perspective change the way you view the cross?
