REFLECTION

PRAYER

Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your Kingdom come.
May your will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into tempatation,
But deliver us from evil.
For yours is the Kingdom, the power & the glory forever and ever.
Amen.

UCN School of Theology

I'm glad to announce a new unit with the UCN School of Theology - Jonah

Take a look at the unit below:

UCN School of Theology: UGE1 - Jonah

by The Democratic Commonwealth of Ecclestia

UCN SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY - ELECTIVE STUDIES


📖 UGE3: JONAH 📖

WELCOME & UNIT OVERVIEW

Course Coordinator: Ecclestia
Tutor: Ecclestia

To enrol in the unit, telegram Ecclestia.

The Book of Jonah is one of the best known books of the Old Testament primarily for ‘Jonah being swallowed by a whale’. Whilst this book is often oversimplified in the media and our broader culture, the book of Jonah is extremely profound and reveals important messages about how God wants us to interact with him and the world around us. Furthermore, Jesus often references the Book of Jonah such as in Matthew 12:38-42. This unit will provide insight into the depth of this small book which is packed full of awesome theology and numerous valuable lessons we can apply in our everyday life.
