Obadiah: Pride and Humility | Video Devotional

Obadiah presents prophetic truth regarding the destruction of Edom, a prideful nation descended from Esau. Edom’s pride and animosity towards Israel ultimately resulted in a violent war. Obadiah ends his book declaring, “the kingdom shall be the LORD’s,” pointing toward God’s plan to defeat all His enemies and establish His rule and reign forever.

Righteous Judgment: A Study in Obadiah

Prophet Obadiah castigated the nation of Edom, Esau’s descendants, as they took advantage of the Israelites, their close relatives when Babylon invaded Jerusalem. Instead of lending a helping hand, the Edomites gloated over, plundered, and even killed the Israelite refugees. This shortest book in the Old Testament ends with the victorious promise that God’s people will be restored and His eternal Kingdom will last forever.

Obadiah

Don’t get distracted by the big fish because the book of Jonah is really about a big God and his big love for the world.

Jonah: Big Fish, Bigger God

Jonah is a satirical book. Jonah first refuses God’s calling, then repents in the fish’s stomach, and later preaches a slapdash sermon with only a few words to the evil Assyrians in Nineveh. As people respond in repentance, Jonah whines about God’s grace for Israel’s inimical enemy. Reading Jonah’s story will confront us with this provocative question: Do you know that God’s compassion is also meant for non-believers?

Daily Bible Reading – July 2023, God’s Saving Word: Mercy and Forgiveness

Have you ever tried to run from God? Jonah is one of the Bible’s most beloved stories, but it’s not about the whale. Jonah is a man running from God. Not running from His wrath, running from His mercy. Jonah just can’t understand God’s love for sinners. It’s a powerful story, and Through the Word guides you with clear explanation and compelling audio in just minutes each day.

Jonah: God’s Scandalous Mercy | Video Devotional

A devotional study through the book of Jonah. We delve into the big-heartedness of God for all people and how He delights to show His mercy! 

Unfair Grace

It's often easy for us to beat up on Jonah for his self-centered, foolish rebellion. But as we'll discover, there's a bit of Jonah in all of us. Overcome by self-centeredness and personal prejudices, we too sometimes resist God's call. Thankfully, when we act like Jonah, God acts like God—lovingly pursuing us with his unrelenting grace. It's a wild ride, but one you don't want to miss!

Jonah- the Reluctant Missionary

The book of Jonah teaches us profound truths about the character of God and his love for all people. His care extends beyond borders, cultures, and circumstances. He is merciful and forgiving despite our disobedience. As we read this book, may we not only gain insight into God's character but also be compelled to share His heart for every individual, embracing His call to extend love and grace to all.

Dive Deeper Into the Book of Jonah

In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Jonah. This plan will help you see God’s faithfulness, and that no one is beyond His grace and mercy.

Jonah: A Fishy Tale About a Faithful God

Jonah’s story reminds us that God’s compassion extends to both the prideful prophet and the wicked unbeliever. Despite all of Jonah’s resistance and hard-heartedness, God’s merciful message of repentance was still delivered to the Ninevites. The Ninevites' repentance shows us nothing can thwart God's plans of redemption.

Compassion: A Study in Jonah

Are you facing something you'd rather run away from? Do you find yourself heading closer and closer to rock bottom? Jonah's been there. Over this 5-day plan, we'll explore Jonah's journey to rock bottom and back and discover how God redeemed his story and an entire city.

The Life of Jonah

Far from being some fairytale about a fish, the book of Jonah is a real story about God’s grace, compassion, and love—even toward wayward people—and his commitment to spreading his message around the world. In this four-day plan, pastor David Platt shows us God is determined to spread his Word to all the nations of the earth, and God uses his people to carry out this mission. 

The Book of Jonah: When God’s Purpose Isn’t in Your Plans

“Jonah’s story begins with a divine assignment – God calls him to Nineveh to preach repentance. But instead of obeying, Jonah runs.” (Running From God – Heidi Wysman). Is God calling you to do something scary? Maybe you’re feeling uncertain or unqualified? Be encouraged as you read about Jonah’s story and the faithfulness of God. 

Whenever we feel we have a better plan than God, we set ourselves up for disaster. Sadly, we often fall into this trap, assuming that God will act on behalf of the “right” people and against the “wrong” ones. In this 11-day plan, Alistair Begg dives into the story of Jonah, the Old Testament prophet who did not want to preach.

Jonah: God’s Most Reluctant Prophet

Anchoring Time - Jonah & Matthew (Part 1)

The book of Jonah is a special Bible book. It is about a prophet who does not want to obey his commission. Jonah knows that God is gracious to people who don’t deserve it, and he does not want God to show mercy to his enemies. This reading plan follows the story about Jonah’s rebellion and God’s undeserved mercy, and searches how these themes are relevant to our lives too.

Daily Bible Reading – October 2023, "God’s Saving Word: Justice and Peace"

As a contemporary of Isaiah, Micah makes no bones about the injustice throughout the nation. Despite prophesying judgements, Micah centres the book on promises of the messianic Kingdom where people live in peace by God’s rules. Although Christians don’t normally produce injustice, Micah confronts our apathy to the vulnerable and says, “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.”

We'll also get to see shadows and shades of the coming restoration and victory that would come through Jesus Christ, the Messiah!  

Micah: Justice + Mercy

Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).
