Take It With You!
During this series please consider reading through the book of Jonah daily with your family or on your own. After each sermon, questions will be provided to guide your reading and prayer time. God's blessings in your study!

1. As you read through Jonah 2 think of times in which you were in distress and called out to the Lord. How did the Lord help you? Was it the way you expected?

2. In the book of I Samuel 2:6, Hannah says this, "The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up." How do we see this truth in Jonah? How is this true for us Spiritually? (See also Romans 6:1-7)

3. Pray that the Lord will give you humility and bravery to share with others the bad news of our sin and the good news of Christ's salvation. Give God praise that he has rescued you from the death of sin!
