In our last lesson we examined the implications of Jesus teaching us to address God as “our Father.” It conjures a beautiful picture of an intimate relationship between a child and dad. Have a conversation with God. There are not code words that must be said. We do not talk to him to be seen by others. We do not need flowery words or to be formal in our language. Just talk to God, like talking to your dad, having a discussion about our requests and desires, aligning our will to God’s will. We will now continue our study of Jesus’ teaching on prayer. 9 “Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, Your name be honored as holy. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

REWIND: The Jesus Prayer – Part 2

Introduction The need to improve our prayer life. I believe all of us need the encouragement to pray more and to pray better. We may be active our prayer lives but wonder if we are doing it right. Prayer is something that we need training in, as the disciples even asked Jesus to teach them to pray. Unfortunately, the prayer life of many looks like the fire extinguisher behind the breakable glass that reads: in case of emergency. We are not regular in our prayer. We pray only in cases of emergency. So I want us to grow deeper in prayer. I believe we want deeper prayer lives. I think we are told to pray more often, but we don’t know what to do. We do not know if we are praying right. It may even feel silly to us because we are in the quiet of our room and we speaking to no one we can see… To read more of this lesson click here.

REWIND: The Jesus Prayer – Part 1: Our Father

We are beginning a new series from the life of Jacob, called Transforming Jacob. Jacob is a fascinating person and sometimes we do not look closely at his life because it is hard to understand what he is doing. Is Jacob a good guy or a bad guy? Is he doing right or is he doing wrong? But what I really want us to see is what God is doing through Jacob. I want us to look at how God is going to transform Jacob to be the patriarch through whom will come the 12 tribes of Israel and through whom will ultimately come the Savior of the world. To understand Jacob, you need to understand his past. Genesis records how it all begins for this man named Jacob… To read more of this lesson click here.

When Your Past Is Trash (Genesis 25-31)

The third chapter of Jonah opens with these words: “Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time.” In the first two chapters we read about Jonah running from God. He does not want to be God’s prophet. He wants to quit God and be done with it all. However, God has sent a storm which has led to the sailors throwing Jonah overboard. Rather than repenting, Jonah would rather drown. However, the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah where he remained for three days and three nights. We saw that Jonah is on the seafloor and his life is fading away when the fish comes and rescues Jonah. Jonah remembered the Lord, turned his heart toward the Lord, and proclaimed that he will offer sacrifices of thanksgiving. Chapter 2 ends with the Lord speaking to the fish and the fish vomiting Jonah out on the to the land. This is the setting for what we read in Jonah 3… To read more of this lesson click here.

Revelation 20:1-6

The prophecy of Nahum ends with the Lord twice proclaiming some of the most terrifying words that you would never want to hear in your life. “I am against you.” The Lord says this against Nineveh in Nahum 2:13 and Nahum 3:5. The third chapter of Nahum is going to show us what this means for the Lord to be against you. Further, Nahum is going to tell us why the Lord is against them. Finally, we will consider some important lessons from the conclusion of this prophecy thinking about what we learn for our lives today. As we come back into this prophecy I want us to remember that this book is revealing the just love of the Lord. In the first lesson we saw this pictured as the comforting severity of God. In the second lesson we saw this pictured as God’s people trust in the Lord because they have heard the good news that God reigns and he will bring his judgments in his time. In this third chapter we are going to see God continue the images of final judgment on the Assyrians and then consider the wasted repentance from the people of Nineveh… To read more of this lesson click here.

Don’t Waste Your Repentance (Nahum 3)

The book of Jonah is about a gracious God trying to save his rebellious, stubborn prophet named Jonah. Jonah was told to get up and go to Nineveh to preach judgment to them. Jonah has rejected the word of the Lord and is determined to quit being God’s prophet. He goes down to Joppa, pays the fare, and goes to sleep in the lowest part of the ship. God sends a storm to spiritually awaken his wayward prophet. However, Jonah ignores the storm, ignores the message of the storm, and ignores the solution to the storm. The sailors challenge Jonah for running from the presence of the Lord. Jonah’s solution is not to repent, confess his sin, pray, or lift any finger toward God. Rather, Jonah instructs the sailors to throw him into the sea. Jonah would rather die by drowning in the sea than return to the Lord. So the sailors throw Jonah into the sea. This brings us to the end of Jonah 1. Open your copies of God’s word to the last verse in Jonah 1… To read more of this lesson click here.

Revelation 19

If you have grown up in the pews, you have heard about the gospel. The gospel simply means good news. But the New Testament writers assume that we know some of the pictures of what God means when he proclaims the good news to his people. There are many places where the prophets give pictures of what the good news. The second chapter of Nahum begins with pictures of the good news being proclaimed to God’s people. The first chapter of Nahum reminded God’s people of who the Lord is. The Lord’s passionate love for his people means that he is a jealous and avenging God, venting his wrath on his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger so that when judgment comes, it was a long time coming. We also heard that the Lord is good. He is a refuge in times of trouble and he cares for those who trust in him. Knowing the Lord sets up our understanding of the good news. Open your copies of God’s word to Nahum 1:15.

Jonah is a prophet who was told to go up to Nineveh and preach to them. However, rather than obeying the Lord, Jonah has decided to quit his work. Jonah not only does not go to Ninevah, the capital city of the Assyrian Empire, he has paid the fare, got on a ship going to Tarshish, and went down into the ship (1:3). Though Jonah is running from God, God is not done with Jonah. So what we are going to see in the rest of chapter 1 is how God is going to deal with his stubborn prophet… To read more of this lesson click here.

Revelation 18

Who is the Lord? The book of Nahum will speak to the nature and character of the Lord. The book of Nahum can be considered a sequel to the book of Jonah. Both of them are prophetic messages to Ninevah, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrian Empire was a vicious empire, considered one of the most cruel in ancient world history. We will see some of the things that they did as we study this book. Nahum prophecies against Nineveh about 100-150 years after Jonah preached there. But there is something a little different about the two prophets. While Jonah went to the city of Nineveh and preached against the city, Nahum is preaching against Nineveh in Judah, to God’s people. This is an important context to keep in mind. Nahum is not preaching to Ninevah. Nahum is preaching to Judah about Ninevah. As the Lord gives his prophecy through Nahum, he is going to teach who he is. As we begin this lesson I would like for you to answer this question in your mind: who is the Lord?

The book of Jonah is a different prophetic book. Most prophetic books record the words a prophet of God is proclaiming to a nation or people. Habakkuk is a unique prophetic book because it records a discussion between God and prophet. But Jonah is a completely different picture. The book of Jonah is a narrative about Jonah and his life decisions. This is a book about a stubborn prophet and a gracious God. So who is Jonah? The only thing we are told about Jonah is in the first verse that his father’s name is Amattai. But we do read about a prophecy he made which was fulfilled in the days of King Jeroboam II (cf. 2 Kings 14:23-25).

We are studying the great prophecy of Isaiah. Presently, Isaiah is declaring the glorious gospel message of how God will send a servant who will bring about the forgiveness of sins. But God wants us to appreciate this salvation message. God says that he is the only God. “There is no other God— there never has been, and there never will be. I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no other Savior” (Isaiah 43:10–11 NLT). In Isaiah 43:2 God promised to be with his people when they pass through the floods and flames of life.

The seventh chapter of Judges records a great victory given by the Lord against the Midianites with only 300 men. The Midianites are set to flight. Gideon calls for other tribes to help capture some of the princes who were escaping. This should be the end of the account. We expect to read that the land had peace for some amount of time, like we have read with the previous deliverances God provided. Instead, we are going to read about the spiritual fall of God’s people.

REWIND: How Godly People Fall (Judges 8)

God records the actions and thoughts of various people in the scriptures so that we can learn from these people. We get to see that these are real people dealing with hard problems making real decisions. There are many people who walk by faith and we are going to study some of those people in the upcoming months. There are also those who fail to walk by faith and we are going to look at some of those. More importantly, we see God trying to transform all of these people to become faith-filled followers of him. The person we are going to study tonight is Esau. One of the things that we read about in Esau’s life is that he had a troubling brother named Jacob. When you read through Genesis you will see that Jacob and his mother Rebekah conspire to take the blessing away from Esau. Isaac has lost his sight and he knows it is time for him to put his affairs in order. So it is time to bless his oldest son, Esau. But Jacob pretends to be Esau and steals the blessing away from his older brother. Now we will talk more about why this happens in future lessons. But I want to keep the focus on Esau for this lesson. We can feel bad for Esau and how he was swindled out of the blessing.

But I want to keep the focus on Esau for this lesson. We can feel bad for Esau and how he was swindled out of the blessing. But listen to how the writer of Hebrews frames Esau’s life… To read more of this lesson <a href="https://westpalmbeachchurchofchrist.com/topical/transformed/what-is-eternity-worth.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>.

What Is Eternity Worth? (Hebrews 12:15-17)

We are in a series that we are looking at throughout the year called Help My Unbelief. In this series we are answering questions that people have about faith and the scriptures. One difficult area in the scriptures is understanding righteousness. Listen to some of the scriptures about righteousness: You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 ESV) Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. (1 John 3:7 ESV) So we can read scriptures that tell us that we need to be righteous and live righteously. So then we approach God as trying to do righteous works to belong to him. But then we read the opposite in the scriptures. What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.” (Romans 3:9–11 ESV) Now we are told that no one is righteous and no one can make themselves righteous before God. So how can these things be reconciled? What are the scriptures trying to teach us about righteousness and our standing before God… To read more of this lesson click here.

Revelation 17:1-11

The apostle Peter wrote his first letter to Christians who were suffering for Jesus’ sake. Peter writes to encourage them to remain holy and live righteously during difficult times. I want to spend this lesson looking at how he ends his letter to these suffering servants. This book is intended to open our eyes and see what we should expect as we try to serve the Lord. Peter starts with a vivid image in 1 Peter 5:8. The Roaring Lion (5:8) Peter begins by telling us to watch out and be sober-minded. The warning is the need to be alert. Be careful. Be watching. Pay attention. Be clear-headed. Have clear thinking. Why? Why do we need to be aware of what is going on? Why do we need to be alert? Why do we need to be watchful and pay attention? Listen to what Peter describes in 1 Peter 5:8. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8 ESV) To read more of this lesson click here.
