The story of Jonah is more than just a story of a disobedient, runaway prophet and a hungry fish.
It’s a story of a compassionate God who longs for everyone to come to salvation, even a nation who has done great evil in His sight. His heart of compassion is not limited by the severity of their sins. He desires for them to turn from their evil ways and repent, rather than continue down their destructive roads which lead to judgement.
So God sends one of His own, a reluctant prophet, to warn them of the coming judgement.
But make no mistake: the story of Jonah is not just a story of a compassionate God and a rebellious nation, but also the story of a compassionate God to His disobedient child. Like Jonah, God has called each of us to do things in life we haven’t wanted to do. For some, it is to forgive someone who has hurt you. For others, it is to reach out to someone not like you and show them love. Still for others it is giving up a variety of addictions that compete for our hearts.
Regardless if we are an outsider, like the people of Nineveh, or an insider, like Jonah, to the Kingdom of God, the book of Jonah is a reminder that God goes to great lengths to demonstrate His grace and mercy to all.
Be encouraged as you read this powerful story of God’s relentless grace and mercy, and may you never forget that no one is beyond redemption.
May we all seek to love the loveless in our lives.

We never want finances to be a barrier to any woman who desires to study God’s Word. That’s why we make our Bible studies accessible through our LGG app and as free downloads on our website for anyone who is unable to purchase a journal at this time.Â
If you do use our free downloads, would you consider supporting our ministry in another way? Would you leave us a review on how the Bible studies have helped you? Or consider making a small donation to support the mission of Love God Greatly around the world. Even a small donation helps us to reach more women around the world with God’s Word. Support LGG >
At Love God Greatly, our heart is to break down barriers so that regardless of anyone’s language, location, or financial situation, every woman can study God’s Word through our Bible study resources.
The SOAP method is a simple, powerful way to slow down and truly engage with God’s Word, and we use this study method on all of our Bible studies. This acronym stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Using this method, you will study God’s Word by writing out Scripture, observing key details, applying it to your life, and praying over what you’ve learned.
Put this method to practice and discover how it helps make Scripture come alive in new and meaningful ways. Learn more about SOAP.
Love God Greatly studies utilize the NET translation as our primary translation. You can also find this translation used in all of our Love God Greatly Bibles.
You’ll find our Facebook community to be a great place to find community, encouragement, and discussion, but it’s completely optional. You can experience the full depth of the study without joining a Facebook group.
While we do schedule Bible studies for our community to begin and journey through together throughout the year, you do not need to wait for a specific start date!
Just pick up the study and begin whenever you’re ready. Even if you have just 15 minutes a day, that’s enough time to engage meaningfully in God’s Word.Â
Our studies are designed to be flexible and accessible for everyone at any time. You can complete them entirely on your own, at your own pace, and on your own schedule.Â
Whether you prefer to study on your own, with a friend, in a small group, or with our LGG community, our Bible studies are created to help you build a daily habit of spending time in God’s Word.
