Gospel Feet
It is the feet of Christ—broken and bloodied by a nail on a cross at Calvary—it is His beautiful feet that come down from the heavenly Mount Zion to bring good news, the gospel, to proclaim and deliver God’s peace forever more.
Witness in Love
God wants us to bear witness with His word, at least. But He also wants us to bear witness with His love, too.
Second Chances
The message of Jonah is ultimately MISSIONAL. In fact, that is the ultimate message of the whole Bible. The application of the revelation of God must always be the mission of God in Christ Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Huge Fish
God has given us His word, by His sovereign grace, for two reasons, at least. First, God gave us His word to reveal who He is so that we might come to faith in Christ Jesus. And second, God gave us His word so that we might live according to His word—to live according to His plan and purpose and design for our lives—that is, to live in the kingdom of God.

The Bible tells us that every local church is critically important in the kingdom of God. And if that is true, then every house church is critically important in the kingdom of God. … No one should blindly take my word for it. We can all read the Bible ourselves from a position of faith (like our passage here) and listen to what the Word of God Himself has to say on such matters. And people can disagree with me all they want. But let no one disagree with Jesus Christ, the Living Word.
My Rights
Simply to receive our salvation and not collect on our “reward” is to miss out on the fullness of life that Christ promises us—and along with it, trials of many kinds. It’s almost as if the trials of many kinds that we encounter when we take up our own cross is the vehicle or the platform through which we receive the fullness of life that life as a follower of Jesus Christ promises to us.
Putting On Christ
The way of righteousness is a very narrow road lit up with a very bright light.
Diving In
It may be easy and pretty straightforward to learn and practice a presentation of the gospel message. But, really, the propositions of the gospel message is not the gospel, per se. The gospel is Christ in me through faith. The transformation of my life because of the truth of the gospel is the real message of the gospel.
Foolish Wisdom
Only one thing unites the people of God: Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, resurrected, and returning. That is the wisdom of God.
