Studying Jonah Bible Study

4-WEEK BIBLE STUDY THAT MODELS HOW TO STUDY JONAH

BIBLE STUDY SUMMARY

At the Chara Project, we create Bible Studies for anyone interested in exploring what the Bible really says. We equip people to discover the intended meaning of the Bible - hearing its message the way the original audience would have heard it - and that’s exactly what you can expect in this Bible Study on the book of Jonah.

Throughout the Old Testament, God used hand-selected prophets to communicate messages to His people. Studying these prophets helps us understand the heart of God, His desire and love for His people, and the way God can use ordinary people to deliver extraordinary messages of hope, conviction, and encouragement. There were hundreds of prophets throughout Jewish history, 16 of whom would have their own named books in the Old Testament - including a man named Jonah.

Jonah is not a typical prophecy book, given that it tells a story of a prophet running from God, more than proclaiming messages from God. Yet its message is just as powerful as any of the other prophet’s books.

This 4-week Studying Jonah Bible Study models how to study the book of Jonah chapter-by-chapter and will give you a front row seat to:

a reluctant servant who tried to flee from God and His purpose
a group of unassuming sailors who came to fear the Lord
an undeserving people group who experienced the unconditional love of God
a relentless God who pursues His people every step of the way

Jonah’s story helps us understand God’s deep love for ALL humanity and His desire for ALL humanity to know Him. Whether you relate to Jonah, the sailors, or the people from Nineveh - this Bible study was designed for you. Use this Bible Study on your own or with your neighbor to gain a deep and impactful understanding of the heart of God evidenced throughout the book of Jonah.

Throughout the study, we use questions from the CHARA Bible Study Guide. The CHARA Bible Study Guide will help you discover what questions to ask when studying the Bible. You’ll notice these CHARA questions are BOLDED throughout this Bible Study, modeling how this study method can help you discover more of the Bible for yourself.

Our hope and desire is that as you use this Bible Study, not only will you gain a deep and impactful understanding of the book of Jonah, you will begin to learn how to study the Bible on your own.
