JONAH - OVERVIEW
PRAY TO BEGIN
Before reading the book of Jonah. Pray that we would read it with fresh eyes (especially casting off any hard to shake impressions of the book that people may have gained from children’s books about Jonah)
Give everyone 10-15 Minutes to read the entire book of Jonah on their own (average reading time should be 8 minutes) and then to spend any remaining time reflecting on the questions below before coming back and sharing with the whole Group.
1. What stood out to you from the book?
2. What is surprising about the book?
3. What is confusing about the book?
4. What is the book of Jonah teaching about what God is like?
5. What does the book of Jonah teach about the nature of sin?
6. Over this series what is one question you would like to have answered about the book of Jonah? (Text these through to Jacob)
Share and pray.
Spend some time sharing and praying for things that are happening in each other’s lives
