God Is Relentless in His Pursuit- Jonah 1

Brian Hopkins

February 16, 2025

The story of the prophet Jonah gives us a classic example of God's relentless pursuit of His children no matter how long or far we try to run away from His calling and no matter how stridently we rebel against His commands. God mostly draws us gently and lovingly to Himself, but sometimes - as in Jonah's case - He allows us to fall down to rock bottom before He reaches out to redeem us. God desires us to enter into loving fellowship with Him, and He never stops calling out for us to return to Him.

Revive Us-O LORD God You Know

We can and should pray fervently for revival, but revival is ultimately a work of God's Spirit alone. We see this demonstrated in Ezekiel 37 when God led the prophet out into a valley full of dead, dry bones and asked Ezekiel pointedly whether those bones could ever live again. Ezekiel was honest in his answer. He didn't know, but he recognized that God knows all things and can accomplish anything - even restoring those bones to life. Ezekiel was obedient when God commanded him to preach God's Word to the bones. In response, God knitted the bones back together but they remained as lifeless corpses. Then God commanded Ezekiel to pray for God's Spirit to breathe life back into the corpses, and God then brought the corpses back to life with His Spirit.

The Twelve-Simon Peter

Simon - whom Jesus named Peter (or Cephas) - is found listed first in all the Biblical listings of Jesus' chosen apostles. So it is appropriate for us to begin our study of "The Twelve" with Simon Peter. For many of us, Simon Peter is the apostle with whom we identify most closely. In this study, we look at Simon's progress from sinful and worldly fisherman through his time with Jesus as one of His closest followers to his denial of Jesus on the night He was betrayed and his subsequent restoration by the resurrected Jesus until finally Peter became a mature and bold fisher of men that Jesus promised to make him in the years after Jesus ascended back to His Father.
