A Study on the
Book of Jonah

We’re excited to study the Book of Jonah together as a church family. This study is intended to help you grow in your understanding of the Gospel and how it applies to you today. We encourage you to use the H.E.A.R. Bible Study Method to help you go deeper into your study of Jonah.

While you’re studying on your own, join a LifeGroup and study it with others from our church. If you would like a printed study guide, please contact our church office.

Intro

Using the H.E.A.R. Bible Study Method

The H.E.A.R. Bible Study Method is a great tool to help you study the Book of Romans. Use the H.E.A.R. Study each week as you study the weekly Chapter.

About the Book

The Book of Jonah is a story you would expect to read in a best-selling fiction book, not the Bible. Despite the story’s unbelievable details, this book’s events are true and to be understood as historical events that did indeed take place. Jesus confirms the historical nature of Jonah and the great fish in Matthew 12:40.

Jesus’ words not only support the historicity of this book but also help us understand the purpose of the book of Jonah. God is a God of compassion, mercy, and grace and will do anything and use anybody to bring sinners to repentance. 

From the very first verse to the very last, God is at work. He is at work in Jonah’s life, he is working through his creation, and he is at work in the city of Ninevah. As we read through all the different moments of this story, we will see God’s sovereignty right in front of us.

WEEKLY VIDEOS

Weekly videos that go along with the study are available to watch on YouTube. You can also listen to a podcast option on the Grace Life Podcast. These videos serve as a commentary on the book of Jonah.
