God longs to spend time with you, even for a minute.

Here is a creative way to teach the book of Jonah.

I have included teaching notes, introductory ideas, illustrations and worksheets that are both completed and left blank for the class to fill in. I have used the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible in this unit but you can adapt the worksheets to other versions. This Bible unit would be ideal for upper elementary through adults

Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about angels?

There are many incorrect notions of who angels are (and are not) and what their roles are in God's word. This short study on these spiritual beings will supply you and your Bible study group with exactly what the Bible reveals about them. These include:

1. Where angels came from.

2. Who they are and are not.

3. What angels know and don't know.

4. The ranks and classification of angels.

5. Angels' jobs and what they specifically do.

6. What angels will be doing in the future.

7. Short list of Biblical events when angels were involved.

You'll receive in this download filled out worksheets and then a copy with blanks so if you want your class or Bible study to take notes.

Here is a fun way to introduce a Bible unit to your students. My Biblical quotations quiz, “Haven't I Heard That Before?” is a fun way to begin any Bible study. Just pass out the 3-paged quiz and instruct your students to read the quotations and circle the "Yes" if they believe it originates with the Bible or "No" if they believe it doesn't. When everyone is finished, you can use the included answer sheets to go over the quizzes and see how everyone did. When I have used this in my Bible classes, there has been much speculation and some surprises when the answers are revealed. This activity would work on the high school aged students and older.
