Weekly Discussion Questions  

  • What did Jonah do to make God let Him out of the fish.

  • Jonah seemed to understand God's loving kindness and mercy (verse 8). How can we as Christians obtain the mercy of God ? (see Hebrews 4:14-16)

  • Despite all that was happening to Jonah he still made a " Sacrifice to God" with the voice of thanksgiving. (v 9)
    What does the sacrifice of praise mean to us as Christians ? (see Hebrew 13: 15 - 16, Acts 16: 23 - 26)

  • How long was Jonah in the belly of the fish ?
    For how long was Jesus in the grave ? (see Matthew 12:39-40)

  • If God could do these two great miracles why do we find it hard to trust Him for smaller things?

Prayer: Thank you Father that you love us too much to let us get away from you.  Teach us to trust your word.
