Jonah 4:1-11 (A Conflicted Heart)
After delivering a very heavy warning earlier in the chapter, the writer of Hebrews now gives some encouragement for the Saints. We will learn that Jesus and His word provides hope for the believer and is an anchor for our soul. In the same way the anchor on a boat holds it steady through turbulent waters, our hope in Jesus, and in His word should hold us steady through the trials and tribulations we experience in the world.
In today’s message, John will take the opportunity to clarify the difference between himself as forerunner for Christ and the work the Messiah was coming to do. John makes it emphatically clear that Jesus is greater than him and the work that He comes to do is Greater as well. There is a powerful lesson on humility and all of this.
In today’s message, we go from looking at all that Christ has provided for us to looking at how we are to live in response. Three of the “Let Us” admonitions are in this section. I pray that we will be encouraged to draw near to God, hold fast to the truth, and consider one another for meaningful fellowship. May God‘s word transform us in a powerful way today.
In this message we will be introduced to a mysterious character, Melchizedek. We will learn that Jesus Priesthood is after the same order as Melchizedek’s priesthood. What we will see as we investigate his life is that Jesus brings a much better Priesthood to believers. One more very significant reason why Jesus is better.
In tonight‘s message, David will share the “one thing” he desires from the Lord. With all that he had going on, the one thing he desired was intimacy and closeness with God. I hope that David’s words in this Psalm will help us arrive at the same place where we lay aside every worldly desire and desire that was truly matters. Closeness to God.
