Series: Jonah: A Story of God’s Relentless Grace
Title: Who? What? Where?
Scripture: Jonah 1:1-3
Notetaking Journals for the Jonah Study are available in the foyer
The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great
city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how
wicked its people are.” But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get
away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship
leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from
the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.

something VERY RARE in their lives and it’s a delicious way to start a conversation about
