Prepare Your Heart
Welcome to Jonah: God's Scandalous Mercy. Before you journey through the book of Jonah, watch the short overview video below to learn how the only hope for all people is in God’s offensive and scandalous mercy to the undeserving.
Pray
Next, prepare your heart through prayer. We don't want to just engage with Scripture academically—we want it to change our hearts. As you pray, consider starting with the passages from Psalms assigned for today. Use it like a prayer. Put the psalmist's words into your own words.
Then, pray over the passage from Jonah assigned for today. Ask God to send his Holy Spirit to help you understand Jonah and see Jesus throughout it.
What's Next?
Each day of this reading plan, you will watch a short video walking you through the book of Jonah and showing you the depths of God's scandalous mercy.
Each day, you will see the same three things:
1. What’s Happening?
This section explains what is going on in the text.
2. Where is the Gospel?
This section shows how this story ultimately points to Jesus and his Gospel.
3. A Time of Prayer
This is a short prayer meant to propel you into Scripture to see the good news of Jesus for yourself.
We hope this journey transforms you. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to see the beauty of Jesus in all of Scripture.
