Jonah 3:5-9 – The people of Nineveh believe God and repent.

• A Theology of Revival

• The source and evidence of Revival!

Revival starts with God’s people being broken before the Lord and aligned with His heart revealed in His word; and His heart is for the lost!  

• How does Jonah 3 point to Jesus and the gospel?

Practice Steps:

3. How does today’s passage challenge you to pray both for the church and the lost?
