Jonah: Running from God (Jonah 1:1-3)

LESSON SUMMARY

 
Today we’re going to start looking at the Book of Jonah.
The Book of Jonah reads like a fairytale. But it is a true Biblical record.
It is named after the prophet Jonah.
And as we go through the book over the next few weeks, we’ll see a beautiful story about God’s grace!
 
Note:
Jonah tells the story of the God who would go to the worst of sinners. The God who would pursue the most stubborn of prophets. The God who would give His life to save many.
In the first chapter of the book “Give them Grace: Dazzling your kids with the Love of Jesus”, the authors use an example of how to use (and NOT to use) the story of Jonah when teaching our kids.
