The book of Jonah may be considered a children's Bible story, but it is full of grown up lessons. This three-week series is about the prophet Jonah who is instructed by God to call to repentance the evil citizens of Nineveh. God?s call to Jonah is similar to our admonition to impact the world for Christ.

Scripture: Jonah 1 - 4
Jonah's book reveals what we can expect when we say "no" to God's clear instructions. We head into a "storm" in our lives, we put others in danger. We face a "fish" disaster and we have to return to fulfill the original assignment.

Scripture: Jonah 1 - 3, 2 Samuel 12:7-10, 1 Chronicles 21:1-19, Romans 11:29, 2 Kings 14:25
Topic: Repentance
Jonah, the reluctant prophet, is a picture of God's mercy, love and grace provided in spite of man's stubborn self-righteousness. This colorful tale of the man who tried to out-run God is truly a comedy of errors.

Scripture: Jonah 1 - 4, Joel 1:5, Matthew 22:36-40
Topic: Evangelism
No matter how evil our world may become, we must not allow it to harden our hearts toward the people of this world. When our hearts harden toward others, our hearts will also harden toward God and we won't even realize it. Jonah obeyed God's orders, but did not share God's passion for the lost.

Scripture: Jonah 3 - 4
Topic: Backsliding
Sometimes we are so selfish that we fail to see the needs of the lost. Blinded by his own comfort zone, Jonah refuses to extend to others what God has so generously extended to him and to us – grace. Jonah runs from God in willful disobedience, concerned only for his own people. God is concerned for all people.
