Nahum has been called the sequel to Jonah. The subject matter of both short prophetic books involves the Assyrian empire and its great capital, Nineveh. Jonah highlighted the mercy of God towards a cruel people as they repented of their sins and cried out to God for mercy. Nahum, however, emphasizes the righteous judgment that […]

After all the mercy that God had shown Jonah, we find in chapter 4 that Jonah needs mercy yet again. Is this just common to Jonah? Hardly. Every believer has need of God’s mercy and longsuffering again and again and again. Having said that, it is still rather jarring to find where Jonah’s heart and […]

La última vez mencionamos que traeriamos un último articulo sobre la misericordia de Dios en Jonás. Permítame saltar a este tema de Jonás, con la esperanza de devolver la próxima vez la entrega final de la misericordia. “Entonces respondieron algunos de los escribas y los fariseos, diciendo: Maestro, deseamos ver de ti una señal. Pero […]

Last time we mentioned we would bring one last post on God’s mercy in Jonah. Allow me to jump ahead to this theme of Jonah, in hopes of returning the final installment on mercy next time.  “Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

En nuestro último articulo, notamos la soberanía de Dios como uno de los temas destacados en el libro de Jonás. Siempre debemos recordar que las Escrituras nos revelan la naturaleza y el carácter de Dios.

Actualmente en Collierville PBC, estoy predicando a través del libro de Jonás. Ha sido un rico estudio para mí, y espero que la congregación también haya sido bendecida. En un libro tan corto (4 capítulos), se ven muchos temas teológicos destacados y ricos. Hoy, veré cómo Jonás destaca la Soberanía de Dios. Dios gobierna sobre […]

In our last post, we noted the sovereignty of God as one of the themes highlighted in the book of Jonah. We must always remember that the Scriptures reveal the nature and character of God to us. God is rightly known, understood and worshipped through the revelation given of Him in the Scriptures. The book […]

Almighty God, we live in a spiritual wasteland. You are ignored, blasphemed and minimized. Your Word is perverted or rejected or forgotten. Christ is not held in high esteem. Unbelief is commonplace. False prophets are many. Men do that which is right in their own eyes. The corrupting effects of sin are rampant. We pray […]

In such a short book (4 chapters), many rich, prominent theological themes are seen. Today, I will look out at how Jonah highlights the Sovereignty […]
