Hand Out:
You may remember that Jonah was thrown off the ship that was going to Tarshish. Next, God
sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three
nights. Can you imagine how Jonah felt. He was inside a fish.
We could hinge the fishes tail so that it could wave up and down?
What do you do when you are really scared? What do you do when you know you have done
something wrong? The Bible says, “From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.”
Maybe I clould clear the sea bottom and the children could draw what they thought should live under the water?
God wants us to obey Him, but when we don’t God still wants us to go to Him and ask for His
forgiveness.
There could be a thought bubble beside the mans head, and the children could draw when they think he's praying about.
The Lord gave the fish a command, and it spit Jonah up onto dry land. Can you imagine what
Jonah looked and smelled like? He had been inside a fish for three days and nights!
Jonah could be glued in?
Guess where Jonah landed? He was very close to Nineveh. It was the place God told Jonah to
go. Again, God asked Jonah to go to Nineveh. How many times do your parents ask you to do
something? When should you obey? How many times does God have to ask you to do something?
When should you obey?
They could colour Jonah.
God wanted Jonah to obey immediately. He wants us to do the same, obey immediately. The
Bible says, “Here is what it means to love God. It means that we obey His commands. And
His commands are not hard to obey.” (I John 5:3 NIrV) Obedience is the way to show God that
we love Him.
change the words to the memory verse, To love God... means that we obey his commands. I John 5:3
How about for the craft we do this
but with a whale and a man instead of the frog?
Use the same pictures as last week on the peg, only smaller?
