Today we conclude our study of “The Twelve” with a final word to all would-be followers of Jesus. I hope you will listen to this important application for every believer. If you missed any of the study you can find it in the ETJ archives. (Click here for more.)

On Monday we will begin a brand new podcast series: “A Message We All Need.” It is arguably the redemptive message of the entire Bible wrapped up in one statement, and it is found in the little book of Jonah. At the bottom of the sea, in the belly of a great fish, Jonah made one of the deepest statements ever recorded: “Salvation is of the LORD” (Jonah 2:9).

There is not a person on earth that does not need to hear this truth! And those of us who have heard it all of our lives need a fuller understanding of its implications. The great issue in our world is a sin issue and only a Savior can fix that…and there is only one Savior.

The Old Testament book of Jonah is not the story of a great fish—it is the story of a great God. In a world on the verge of judgment and desperate for a spiritual awakening, it holds a message we all need: “Salvation is of the LORD.”

Plan to listen on Monday as we begin walking through this powerful portion of Scripture. But don’t just listen! Tell someone – it is a message we all need.

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
