Anna and Matt talk fishing with their friend Rick the Fisherman and dive into the story of Jonah and the big fish. Through Jonah’s disobedience, the storm, and the giant fish rescue, kids learn that God is Merciful — He does not give His children the punishment they deserve. God showed mercy to Jonah…and to the whole city of Nineveh. What You’ll Learn: 🐟 God is Merciful: He does not give His children the punishment they deserve. 🌊 Jonah Ran, God Rescued: Even when Jonah disobeyed, God saved him with a “great fish.” 🏙️ Mercy for Nineveh: God gave the people of Nineveh a second chance instead of destroying them. ✝️ Mercy for Us: Jesus took the punishment for sin so we can be forgiven and brought into God’s family. 🎵 Song We Sing: “Our Great God (Attributes Song)” Try This at Home: 🙏 Thank God for His mercy to you — talk as a family about times you’ve needed forgiveness. 💬 Ask: “Who in my life needs mercy from me instead of anger?” (a sibling, a friend, etc.). 📖 Read Jonah together this week and see how God keeps giving second chances.
