Jonah

Behold the wonder of the Word, with Revive Our Hearts! The prophetic portion of the Old Testament is full of rich theology, divine promises, and strong warnings against evil. Among the prophets we find Jeremiah’s lament, Isaiah’s messianic promises, Ezekiel’s confounding vision, and Daniel’s great faith!  Volume 4 of our WOW series, The Prophets, shows the wonder of God's mercy, even in the darkest of times.

Wonder of the Word: The Prophets & the Wonder of God's Mercy (Vol.4 - Isaiah - Malachi)

The book of Jonah teaches us profound truths about the character of God and his love for all people. His care extends beyond borders, cultures, and circumstances. He is merciful and forgiving despite our disobedience. As we read this book, may we not only gain insight into God's character but also be compelled to share His heart for every individual, embracing His call to extend love and grace to all.

Jonah : Knowing God's Heart

Have you ever tried to run from God? Jonah is one of the Bible’s most beloved stories, but it’s not about the whale. Jonah is a man running from God. Not running from His wrath, running from His mercy. Jonah just can’t understand God’s love for sinners. It’s a powerful story, and Through the Word guides you with clear explanation and compelling audio in just minutes each day.

This 6-day plan will walk you through the book of Jonah by reading two main passages a day. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what’s happening in the text. You'll also learn how each part of the story points to Jesus and how those who believe in him must learn to receive God's scandalous mercy for themselves and others.

Choosing Trust Over Cynicism: Reading Through Jonah

Jonah’s story shows what happens when God calls imperfect people—and how God pursues us even when we resist. This plan guides you into each passage with curiosity, honesty, and hope. As you read Jonah’s prayers, struggles, and reluctant obedience, you’ll discover a God who meets you in the deep places, shapes your heart over time, and invites you into small, courageous steps of faith.

Whenever we feel we have a better plan than God, we set ourselves up for disaster. Sadly, we often fall into this trap, assuming that God will act on behalf of the “right” people and against the “wrong” ones. In this 11-day plan, Alistair Begg dives into the story of Jonah, the Old Testament prophet who did not want to preach.
