If you would rather sit at home watching TV than tell the people of Nineveh to "Stop being nasty β or else!" you need to read Jonah's story. It has everything: boats, storms, worms, and a really cool whale that eats people! Based on: Jonah 1:1-4, themain theme of this story is God's love. Other themes include compassion, grace, judgement, obedience, calling, repentance, love others, enemies, and whales. Related Bible passages include: Matthew 28:19-20, John 3:16, Acts 10:34-43, Romans 5:6-11, Ephesians 3:18-19, Psalm 18:4-6, and Psalm 42:7. When Jesus wanted to change lives he told stories. That's what the Lost Sheep series is all about. At the centre of the stories is Jesus. Some stories are about him, some are by him, but all of them point to him. The series takes the spirituality of children seriously but also believe the gospel is fun.
