What does the Bible mean when it says that we are the "Bride of Christ"? Discover the answer as you learn about how the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony parallels Yeshua and His bride, the Church!

"The Power of Providence" - After the entire city of Nineveh repented, Jonah pouted to the Lord on a hill outside the city. Yet even in his stubborness, God provided for Jonah: a listening ear, supernatural character, blessings, trials, & most of all, Himself. And He provides for us too! Let's learn from Jonah and choose to trust God, follow His plans, and care what He cares about.

"Worship His Majesty" - One of the two subthemes of chapter 5 is worship. Worship is a priority to God. It begins at the recognition of a completed action...the cross! True worship happens when we truly see the slain Lamb.

"The Preaching of Penitence" 

Jonah finally went to Nineveh and spoke out against it according to what the Lord commanded him. Consequently, the great city believed in God and repented, and the Lord withheld His judgement upon them. We have all been called to preach the Gospel to our "Nineveh's"...now! What is your "great city"?

"The Greatest Real Estate Deal in History"

John sees God sitting on His throne in heaven holding a scroll with seven seals (the title deed to the earth), which only Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb of God is worthy to open. Jesus, our kinsman redeemer & heir of creation, is about to redeem the earth back from Satan! 

The Imprisoned Prayer

More of the scene in heaven is revealed to John. He sees the four living creatures and the 24 elders all worshiping the Lord. The scene is set for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb. True love doesn't come unprepared. Are we ready and waiting for Jesus our bridegroom?

The Protesting Prophet...

God calls Jonah to preach revival to Ninevah, but he flees in the other direction and ends up in the belly of a great fish. Before we preach revival to others, we first need a revival in our own hearts. Are we going to trust God enough to be obedient, or are we only looking for the easy way out? The Lord loves us enough to break the "ship" that we are using to run from Him.

John is taken to heaven in the Spirit and sees God the Father on the Throne of Judgement with the 7 Spirits of God, 4 living creatures & 24 elders around Him. Are we walking in the Spirit or in our flesh? Let's be in the Spirit like John and receive revelations from the Lord!
