Sunday Bible Study: Jonah

Stephen

On Sunday, September 7 at 8:15 am, we’ll begin a new Bible study entitled “Jonah – God’s Reluctant Prophet.” You probably know the prophet best from Sunday School as the man who tried to run away from God and got swallowed by a big fish! We’ll dig deeper into the text and talk about God’s mercy toward non-believers, the power of His Word to change hearts, and how Jonah’s life bears a typological resemblance to Christ.
