Jan 19, 2007 — Jonah 1:1-17

Posted on January 19, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: Jonah 1:1-17 OBSERVATION: The word of the Lord (v.1) is God’s communication, in whatever form it took (angel, dream, vision, other prophet, etc.). God’s message to Jonah is to ”go and preach” (compare Matthew 28:18-20). He was being called to preach to his nations oppressors, the capital city of Assyria. Jonah rejects God’s call – too…

Swallowed by a whale???

Posted on January 18, 2007May 10, 2021 by Norm

Someone was reading the story of Jonah and asked a really good question: Was Jonah really swallowed by a whale, or is that just a parable? It makes a great children’s story or song, but is it for real? If you’re not familiar with the story, you can read it here. Once again I encourage…

Jan 18, 2007 — 1 Peter 5:1-14

Posted on January 18, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 5:1-14 OBSERVATION: Peter seems to be addressing adice to certain groups in particular, the leaders, young men and those who are suffering for their faith. Peter identifies himself as a fellow elder, not as the chief apostle, one of Jesus’ inner circle, nor as God’s representative on earth. Were church leaders already then turning…

Jan 17, 2007 — Isaiah 65:17-25

Posted on January 17, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 65:17-25 OBSERVATION: God’s plan of salvation begins in Israel, centered in Jerusalem, but His goal is for all the world to be restored (new heavens and earth). It is helpful to read ”my followers” in place of Israel, and Jerusalem, to see these words in their global context. The day is coming when those…

Jan 16, 2007 — Micah 4:1-13

Posted on January 16, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: Micah 4:1-13 OBSERVATION: The mountain of the Lord is the hill where Jerusalem (and the temple) was built. The day is coming when all nations will honour and worship God, a time of peace and prosperity. God allowed the exile to happen, as punishment, but He will restore His people again, the remnant who survive…

Posted on January 15, 2007May 10, 2021 by Norm

Time for another discussion? I will lead the way, but if you have a question or issue you would like to have discussed, feel free to raise it here. My question for today is one that many people ask, and struggle with: Why does God allow suffering? If He is compassionate and all-powerful, why doesn’t…

Jan 15, 2007 — John 1:43-51

Posted on January 15, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: John 1:43-51 OBSERVATION: Jesus is looking for followers, people who are willing to adapt their lives around Him, learn from Him, and leave their old lives behind. Phillip tells his brother, a model for witnessing. His eagerness to tell Nathanael is not an obligation or duty, it is his natural excitement about having found the…
