God’s Creative Power

(NASB) Genesis 1:1 “IN THE beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There was a beginning and the beginning began with God creating. No mention is made – at this point in the Scriptures – “how” God created. The “how” is found in verse 3, “Then God said…”  God said!  God spoke “and there […]

God’s Power ~ God’s Divine Nature

(NASB) Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God…” ‘LORD, what do You want people to know about You?  What do You want me to know about You?’ God was before the galaxies.  God was in the beginning of the galaxies. (NASB) Psalm 89:11 “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all […]

Prayer of the Week

  (NASB) Psalm 121:1-2 “I WILL lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? 2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.”  

Before the Beginning…

How does God describe the “before” of creation, before there was anything?! (NASB) Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning…” It is hard to wrap my understanding around the fact that God existed before the beginning…of anything. (NASB) Psalm 90:2 “Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from […]

God’s Loving Compassion

There are many lessons we can learn from the book of Jonah, the following are a few from chapters 3 & 4. Jonah 3: The LORD God used His reluctant prophet Jonah to warn his enemies in Nineveh of God’s coming judgment…how is the LORD using you to warn your enemies? Jonah did proclaim God’s […]

Pray From Where You Are

Jonah was in the depths of the sea…inside a great fish…for three days…he called out to the LORD in his distress…for God’s help.  Jonah’s SOS of faith was heard by the LORD, even when the watery depths covered Jonah. (NASB) Jonah 2:1-6 “THEN JONAH prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the […]

Unintended Consequences of Jonah’s Sin

(NASB) Jonah 1:17 “And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah had rebelled against the LORD his God but that did not negate his belief in Him as his God. Jonah had run from what God wanted him […]

Fleeing From the Presence of the LORD

Jonah was called by the LORD to go to Nineveh (enemy of Israel) and Jonah went in the opposite direction…he went to a seaport and paid passage on a ship.  Then Jonah went down into the hold of the ship…it would have been dark and would have ‘hidden’ him from prying eyes. After the ship […]

Arise & Go!

(NASB) Jonah 1:1 “THE WORD of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying…” God called a man named Jonah to be a prophet to his nation’s enemy.  God’s love is amazing, isn’t it? How did the living God reveal His love for the wicked people who lived in Nineveh?  God is not […]

Prayer of the Week

The LORD God called Jonah to “Arise and go”…to warn the people of Nineveh. When you tell others of God…to Whom do you point? (NIV) Ephesians 1:17-20 “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know […]
