Let's Go Deeper! (for older kids)

Read in the Bible: Jonah 1-4,  Psalm 139

Consider these additional questions:
  • What did God ask Jonah to do?
  • What did Jonah do instead?
  • Can you run away from God? What does God do? (read Psalm 139:7-12)
  • What do we learn about Jesus in this story?
"The Word became flesh and lived with us." John 1:14

Jesus is everything God wants to say to the world,
wrapped up in a person.

Praying through this story
Thank you, God for your for your forgiveness; even when we do things wrong and run away, you still loves us with a ‘Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.’ Please teach us to always love and forgive other people, because we know you love them too. In Jesus' name, AMEN
