Aprašymas

I remember it well: a bearded man in robes stuck on the flannel board next to a rotund, jovial-looking whale. Jonah. We're dangerously familiar with it. But Jonah is far more than a fish tale. It is the story of a man, a servant of the Lord, called to go to his enemies. Jonah-though he is a prophet-is far from perfect, and it is perhaps more his failures than his successes that resonate with our everyday foibles and deep-rooted struggles. Although Jonah is the focus of our study, every book in the Bible is ultimately about God, His character, His glory, and His grand narrative that arches over all of our micro-narratives. We will trace this reality throughout Jonah in three major themes: God's sovereignty, true obedience and repentance, and God's love for the nations. What you'll find inside: *11-week study formatted for discussion groups *leader guide with schedule and format suggestions *10 weeks of participant homework, divided into 3 days a week *footnoted resources with scholars' interpretations of complex questions *optional culminating craft to reinforce the major themes of the book Together we will seek to understand the God who works in and through imperfect people and to learn what it means to proclaim, "Salvation belongs to the Lord!"
