Small Books Big God: Nahum.
Because God is faithful, I can trust Him
We are getting close to the end of the “Small Books, Big God” series, and I hope that all of you are enjoying studying these sometimes skipped over books from the Bible. This week I have been enjoying the daily reading and study of Nahum, as I prepare for Sunday. The take home truth I can give you from this book is “because God is faithful, I can trust Him”. Remember from week one that God sees, God cares, and God responds. With the prophecy of Nahum, this is true as well, and in this book the prophecy is not against Israel or Judah, but against the nation of Assyria. The Assyrians were especially wicked and vile and theyplundered/robbed many nations to build their empire. Nahum 3:1 calls the capital of Assyria, Nineveh, the “bloody city”, or a better translation “the city of murder”. When you read this book, you see that no one can escape the judgement of God, and that if someone persists in sin God will eventually carry out his justice, as we see spoken of in Nahum. History will show us that Nineveh was utterly destroyed in 612 BC by the Neo Babylonians, and the people of Assyria vanished from history. For us as believers we can take comfort and hope from this, that God is sovereign and will punish cruelty, and provide refuge for those who trust in Him, (Nahum 1:7).

WHEN JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION: Do You Love Me?
John 21:15-19
Today is the final question for the summer, can you believe it? It felt like we just got started and here we are at the end. I believe all the questions were great that Jesus asked which caused us to think deeper about our faith and relationship with Him. Today's final question is really the best way to end. Do you love me? In the Gospel of John this comes at the end after Jesus' resurrection and is in a conversation between Peter and Jesus. If you remember when Jesus was on trial, Peter denied Jesus three times, (just as Jesus predicted), and Peter must have felt totally dejected. So, Jesus has this hard conversation where He asks Peter "do you love", and He asks three times. Peters' response is yes, (three times), and Jesus then calls him to take care of the sheep, (the church). Peter answers "yes", Jesus restores Peter, then Peter does what Jesus asked him to do. He shows that he loves Jesus. So, when you tell Jesus that you love Him, you will show this in your actions, and this flows into every area of your life. This takes good daily examination, which is sometimes hard, but necessary. Think of your life totally surrendered to Jesus in such a way that you show your Love for Him in your daily actions and your love for others. So, Jesus is asking, "Do You Love Me?"
WHEN JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION : But when the Son of Man comes, will He find any faith on the earth? Luke 18:8, preached by Pastor Scott Parmenter.
Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when He returns? Sounds like a rather ridiculous question as we would believe that He would find faith, right? So, it is good to have some context for this question. This is at the end of a parable concerning prayer that is persistent and by faith. In this parable we will be reminded that God is just and will take care of His people, so no matter the circumstances we need to have faith and keep praying. This type of prayer can be a challenge for us. We live in an instant society, where we expect things to happen within a short span of time. Anything beyond a few days, and we somehow give up on praying. We may come back to it from time to time, but more as an afterthought. Jesus is reminding us in this parable that God will bring an answer in due time, and to not give up for unlike the unjust judge in this parable, God is the exact opposite. For as bad as the judge is, God is just as good, and even more. So, as we examine this question, and look for the answer, the challenge is to see where we are in the story. Listen today and have an open heart to receiving the Word, to not give up on what you are praying for.
