Jonah

Jonah was a prophet called by God to deliver a message to a city in desperate need. This series explores God’s passion for the nations and His desire to reach people far from Him. It examines how God places His people strategically, calls us to participate in His mission, and pursues us even when we resist. Through Jonah’s journey, we learn that God’s mission often leads us beyond our comfort, and the safest and most meaningful place is at the center of His will.

Session 4

The Restless Heart of An Angry Prophet

In Jonah 4:1–4, we encounter a surprising moment in the story of Jonah. After the people of Nineveh repented and God showed mercy, Jonah responded not with joy, but with anger. While Nineveh experienced revival, Jonah was restless. This passage reminds us that God is not only concerned with what He does through us, but also with what He is doing within us. In this session, we reflect on the condition of our hearts and explore how God patiently confronts, heals, and realigns our hearts back to His.

Divine Detours: Swallowed to Be Sent

Jesus’ first miracle at Cana reveals five timeless truths for relationships. We must trust in God’s sufficiency to meet our needs and rely on His perfect timing. Believing in God’s best helps us wait with hope, while rejoicing in His grace frees us from performance and scorekeeping. Most importantly, following God’s leading transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Whether single or married, true relational strength comes from a covenant with Christ, our ultimate source of love, purpose, and fulfillment.

Discover how Christlike love can transform your marriage and strengthen you in your God-given role as a husband.

Session 4

The Restless Heart of An Angry Prophet

Marriage can be beautiful, but it can also be challenging. Many marriages today are struggling, and some even end in divorce. One key reason is that couples often enter marriage with ideas shaped by the world, rather than following God’s design. In Ephesians 5, God gives a pattern for marriage that reflects Christ’s relationship with the church. In our previous lesson, we focused on husbands loving their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loves the church. In this lesson, we will look at how wives are called to submit to their husbands, reflecting the church’s loving and willing submission to Christ.
