What a year we have had studying the Bible together! This month we conclude our 6th year of Enjoying the Journey podcasts, and are so very grateful for the faithful listeners who journey through God’s Word with us each day. Over the last year, people from more than 150 nations have been regular listeners, and just a few days ago we passed 7.4 million total ETJ downloads. To God be all glory.

In the closing weeks of the year, we turn our attention to the greatest story in the world – the story of redemption. This is more than the story of Christmas; it is the story of Christ! Plan to join us for these brand new episodes, as we examine the crimson thread of salvation woven throughout all of Scripture.

We will begin our study in eternity past and conclude in eternity future. In between, we will get a birds eye view of God’s salvation in both the Old and New Testaments. From Genesis to Revelation, the overwhelming portrait is of our loving God, redeeming fallen humanity.

The first study of God’s Redemption Timeline starts on Tuesday. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus and finish the year God has brought us through than meditating on “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8).

If Enjoying the Journey has been a blessing to you, would you do three things to help us?

  • Ask someone who needs Christ to listen to this series with you. These gospel lessons will provide an entry point for conversations about Christ. Invite a lost friend or family member to listen and then discuss the episodes with them. Our goal is not just information; it is evangelization!
  • Pray the Lord will touch this study in a special way. We know that God will use His Word and trust that, at this season when many are tender, He will open hearts to Christ. Join us in praying that the Holy Spirit will continue to give favor and fruit as we approach a new year in this ministry.
  • Prayerfully consider making a year-end gift to help this ministry move forward. We have chosen to keep Enjoying the Journey ad free, so that nothing will interrupt the devotional emphasis of the studies. The cost of production is cared for by the kind support of listeners like you. Thank you in advance for anything the Lord leads you to do. (You may give securely online at enjoyingthejourney.org/donations. All gifts are tax deductible.)

Shortly we will pass the mile marker of another year. Thank you for making the journey with us. Don’t miss Tuesday’s broadcast, and watch for an all new study to begin the new year in just a few days!

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
