From Running to Revival

​

A series from the book of Jonah

​

“Have you heard the one about the man who was swallowed by a big fish?”

​

It might sound like the first line from a joke or a fairy story.

​

But the Bible book of Jonah is neither of these – it’s a true re-telling of the account of a man who tried running from God but ended up involved in the biggest revival in the whole of the Bible!

​

The hero of the story is of course, God, and in our 4-week series, we will be learning about how Jonah is a picture of:

• The nation of Israel who were supposed to spread God’s light to the world.

• Each of us in our need for God’s intervention in our lives.

• Jesus himself, who came from God to bring salvation through his own sacrifice.

 

This is not a story to be limited to a children’s illustrated Bible, but one which is relevant to all of us, of any age and stage of life.

​

Hold on to your hats, come on the journey, be encouraged and challenged!
