Book of 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.

Book of Jonah

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

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?

Through the Bible: Jonah

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

Have you felt yourself give in to cynicism recently? Do you struggle to trust God and others after you feel they’ve let you down?

You’ll follow Jonah through the belly of the whale to understand how he became cynical and how he eventually chose to trust again.

Choosing Trust Over Cynicism: Reading Through Jonah

“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.

The Life of Jonah

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

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!

Life’s complicated — but how often do we overcomplicate it? We avoid things we don’t want to do, give in to emotions that can’t be trusted, push to get our own way…the list goes on.

How to Not Overcomplicate Your Life: A Study on Jonah

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.

Book of Micah

In this 30-day expository study, we'll go passage-by-passage through the Old Testament Book of Micah. Explore powerful themes of God's righteous justice and judgment as well as His enduring mercy and compassion. 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).

Remnant: A Study in Micah

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.”
