Thursday, 28 August 2025 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Matthew 12:41 “Men, Nineveh, they will arise in the judgment with this generation and they will sentence it, for they reconsidered at the proclamation of Jonah. And you behold! Jonah's greater is here!” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus noted that just as Jonah was in the belly of the great lunker three days and three nights, He would be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Next, He continues His address to the scribes and Pharisees, saying, “Men, Nineveh, they will arise in the judgment with this generation.” The location Nineveh is introduced here. The name Nineveh may be a word of foreign origin, but if connected to Hebrew, its meaning is Offspring's Habitation. As the Bible is written from a Hebrew perspective, the Hebrew name is what is to be considered. Nineveh is a city that was built at the earliest times of man after the flood. It was noted as being built by Nimrod in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:11. It is noted in 2 Kings, Isaiah, Jonah, Nahum, and Zephaniah, but the main biblical accounts of Nineveh are recorded in Jonah and Nahum. Jesus is referring to the account in Jonah, saying that the inhabitants of Nineveh will arise to judge the generation of Israel in which He came. And more, He next says, “and they will sentence it.” The verb katakrinó, to judge against, is introduced. In judging against, it means an unfavorable verdict is rendered, leading to condemnation. Condemning or condemnation in the Bible is often associated with eternal punishment. This is not always the case when the word is used. To condemn means expressing disapproval, censuring, sentencing, etc. The context will derive the meaning. In this case, Nineveh will be a part of the judgment and sentencing of Israel's people at Jesus' time. The reason is, “for they reconsidered at the proclamation of Jonah.” Another new noun is stated, kérugma. It signifies a proclamation. Preaching is a type of proclamation. Jonah was sent to NinevehJonah to speak a word of the Lord against Nineveh. This was his kérugma, his proclamation – “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 ‘Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.'” Jonah 1:1, 2 “And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, ‘Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!'” Jonah 3:4 As noted in the Matthew 12:39 commentary, Jonah's time in the belly of the lunker is not the sign of Jonah. The sign of Jonah is something Nineveh was aware of. They had no idea that Jonah was in the lunker's belly. The sign of Jonah is the kérugma, the proclamation, of Jonah. But more, it is specifically what the proclamation stated, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” As noted in the Matthew 12:38 commentary, a sign is something that stands for something else. It may be a miracle or a wonder, but a sign points to another thing, such as “this indicates this.” Jesus clearly states in Luke 11:30-32 that the preaching of Jonah is the sign, just as Jesus' preaching to the people of Israel is the sign. Jonah preached and promised destruction in forty days. Jesus preached and promised destruction as well. The sign of Jonah is the preaching, which, if rejected, would lead to destruction after forty days. Jesus' time in Sheol, followed by the resurrection, simply bears witness to the truth of Jesus' preaching, which was to an already unbelieving people. His words of the kingdom and reconsideration to “this generation” are the ultimate sign to them. Other prophets spoke in the name of the Lord, but Jesus spoke in His own name and under His own authority as the Son, and so He next says, “And you behold! Jonah's greater is here!” The warning to reconsider or be overthrown turned out to be a day for a year, just as it was in the Old Testament. When Israel disobeyed in the wilderness, they were given a day for a year punishment for every day that the spies were gone. It was forty days, and thus forty years of punishment. In Ezekiel chapter 4, he was told to lie on his right side for forty days, signifying a day for a year of punishment for Judah. He was told to do the same for his left side, but for three hundred and ninety days. It was a day for a year for the house of Israel. Together, they formed the basis of the prophecy concerning the return of Israel in 1948. Forty years after Jesus' words, a day for a year, Israel's temple was destroyed, and the people were carried away in exile. The Romans came in and did what Nineveh was spared of. God's judgment fell heavily upon them for failing to reconsider, receive their long-awaited Messiah, and conform to the will of God, which is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Life application: The sign of Jonah is the preaching of Jonah. The word of God, spoken to Israel in fulfillment of Scripture, and under the full authority of the Messiah who had been promised since the very beginning of man's time on the planet, was the sign. The resurrection simply proved it. It is the word that conveys this to us. Thus, the word is its own sign to the people of the world. In essence, “I have used My people, Israel, to be a sign to the world as a proof that My word is true and that it is to be understood and accepted as such.” The sign of Israel is a sign that is not yet fully fulfilled. To assume that the church has replaced Israel reflects a fundamental flaw in Christian understanding. It fails to match the reality of what is coming upon the world in the tribulation and millennium. Be sure to have your theology concerning Israel properly aligned with what God is doing in the world. Otherwise, events that lie ahead will leave you surprised and confounded. “Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” Matthew 23:34-36 Lord God, thank You for being with us as we engage with Your word. On our own, it is often hard to see what is being conveyed. Add on top of that, innumerable incorrect analyses of what is being said have been loaded upon us. Help us cut to the heart of what You are telling us by reminding us to stay in and study Your word all our days. Amen.

2025-08-25 God Is In Controlby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Micah 4:9-139 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pain seized you like a woman in labor?10 Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you shall go out from the city and dwell in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued; there the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.11 Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord; they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples; and shall devote their gain to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.Mandeville Bible Church "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448(985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.
Jonah 3English Standard Version3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth. 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.6 The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Ed teaches us about the way God sees us. Mark 2:1717 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.Mark 2:27-2827 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”Luke 6:6-116 Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or [a]to destroy?” 10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to [b]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 11 But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.Romans 5:88 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.1 John 1:88 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.Isaiah 59:22 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.John 3:1616 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.2 Corinthians 5:2121 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
August 17th, Jonah 1:4-9, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.

Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel
Rise up, warrior—get up, wipe your tears, and go forth! Ready for powerful encouragement in your walk with Christ? Today, Paige Clingenpeel welcomes Myshel Wilkins—an American–Ghanaian worship leader, recording artist, speaker, and author of Arise, Shine, and Conquer: 40 Days of Courage for Women. In this powerful conversation, Myshel uncovers the lies women often believe about their worth, identity, and value—and points us back to the truth found only in God's Word. She speaks about standing firm when the enemy attacks, praising God both in valleys and on mountaintops, and the power of prayer, fasting, and sitting in His presence. With wisdom for parents on raising children in the fear of the Lord, Myshel urges us to anchor our families in Scripture so they can discern God's truth in a world of confusion. Be encouraged, be equipped, and be ready to fight the good fight of faith.Paige's TakeawaysOur identity is found in Christ alone.When what you feel doesn't match what God says, cling to His truth and reject the lies.Our “why” is because God created us.We are made in His image for His glory, which gives every moment of our lives eternal significance.The enemy will try to divert our identity.His goal is to distort God's truth, but we can rebuke his lies by standing on Scripture and speaking it out loud.Have conversations with your kids now—about their identity, who God says they are, and how to live out spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting.Let God's Word be woven into everyday life so it becomes the anchor for their souls.Ask yourself and your kids—Are you trusting in yourself or trusting in the Lord?Invite them to see God's faithfulness in real-life situations so their trust in Him grows deep and personal.Arise, Shine, and Conquer by Myshel Wilkins: https://a.co/d/cf46aqp Myshel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myshelmusic/ Myshel's website: https://www.myshelwilkins.com/Paige Clingenpeel: PaigeClingenpeel.comQuestions About the Podcast?

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla. Today's reflection from Psalm 10:12–15 is a bold prayer for God's intervention: “Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted.” Pastor Balla unpacks David's confident cry that God does see, God does act, and God will hold every wicked deed to account. This devotion explores the balance between compassion for the oppressed and a fierce longing for justice against evil. Learn why prayer in the face of injustice is not passive resignation but an act of trust in the Lord's timing and perfect justice. If you're feeling powerless, take heart—our Helper is also our Defender, and He will not forget the afflicted.☕ Support this ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphOr visit: buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphLike

Jonah // Week 2 // A Whale Of A LessonJonah 1:11-12 NASB 11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. 12 He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”Jonah 1:15-16 NASB 15 So they picked up Jonah, threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.Jonah 1:17 NASB 17 And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.1. The SWALLOWING was for SALVATION.2. The RESTRICTION was for RESTORATION.Jonah 2:1-9 NASB1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said, “I called out of my distress to the Lord,and He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol;You heard my voice. 3 “For You had cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me. 4 “So I said, ‘I have been expelled from Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.' 5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head. 6 “I descended to the roots of the mountains.

Jonah 1English Standard Version1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the Lord.4 But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we may not perish.”7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.” 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, “What is this that you have done!” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12 He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.” 13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they called out to the Lord, “O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood, for you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you.” 15 So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.17 And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

When you give control of your work to third parties, you must take care that they do not corrupt or destroy what you have created. We use the story of the development and issuance of the M16 rifle in the U.S. military as a tragic example.
Welcome to the twelve official episode of Off Da Binge!
Send us a textThe Transfiguration stands as one of the most profound revelations in Scripture, yet many believers miss its radical implications. When Peter, James, and John witnessed Jesus transformed before them, speaking with Moses and Elijah, they experienced something extraordinary—a glimpse of Christ's true glory and the nature of His kingdom.What makes this moment revolutionary isn't just the supernatural display, but the Father's thundering command: "This is My beloved Son, hear Him." With these words, God explicitly directs us to turn away from the law (Moses) and the prophets (Elijah) to focus exclusively on Christ. When the disciples fell on their faces in fear, Jesus touched them saying, "Arise, do not be afraid"—demonstrating His divine authority to speak after the Father's voice. Only God Himself could do this.Most revealing is what happened next: when they lifted their eyes, "they saw Jesus only." This powerful image encapsulates the entire theological point—after all the glory and divine manifestation, only Jesus remains. He alone is sufficient. He alone is necessary. This directly challenges religious systems suggesting we need additional mediators, prophets, or legalistic observances for our salvation.Many believers today are still metaphorically "chasing after red heifers and rebuilt temples," looking to Jerusalem for spiritual fulfillment. But as Jesus clearly stated, "We are the temple. The Holy Spirit dwells within us." The kingdom isn't something future we're waiting for—it's already present within and among believers through Christ.Are you hearing Christ alone, or dividing your attention between Him and other voices? Have you fully embraced the sufficiency of Christ, or are you seeking additional mediators? The Father's command echoes through the centuries: "Hear Him." In a world of competing religious voices, this remains our clearest directive—listen to Jesus above all others.Support the show

Pentecost VI, 2025.
My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

What's the last thing God told you to do… and are you doing it? When God told Elijah to “Arise and go,” it didn't make sense. He was sent to an unlikely place, to meet an unlikely person, with an impossible need. But Elijah trusted and obeyed—and God provided every step of the way. In this message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Ryan Britt reminds us: God's commands always come with promises, but obedience still requires trust.
Have you stumbled in your faith? Jonah did, too. But today, uncover the power of God’s grace and mercy in your life with an encouraging message from Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Focus verses: Jonah 3–4 The real story is about how God used a flawed man to bring a revival. Jonah was called to preach to Ninevah, which God described as a great city (Jonah1:2).Jonah refused, and the Lord sent a great wind on the sea. (Jonah 1:4).Jonah was thrown overboard and was swallowed by a great fish (Jonah 1:17). The ultimate story of Jonah is of the great God who showed great love. #1 Jonah had a great message. Jonah’s preaching brought revival. Jonah 3:1–2 (NKJV)Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you." Nothing happens through you until it has happened to you. Read Jonah 3:2–4 Jonah’s message was very simple, yet these eight words were important to God. Romans 1:16 (NKJV)For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvationfor everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. The bible says, “Christ died for our sin” (1 Corinthians 15:3).He did this to bridge the gap between us and a holy God. Jonah delivered his simple message as we must deliver ours. Our message must be delivered with urgency.(Jonah 3:4) Jonah 2:1–2 NKJVThen Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction,and He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice.”God had delivered Jonah from a hopeless situation. There was an urgency and a passion to what Jonah was doing, Romans 9:3 (NLT)For my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed—cut off from Christ!—if that would save them. Remember how Jesus looked over the city of Jerusalem and wept.Luke 19:41–42 “Winners of Souls must first be weepers of souls.”—D. L. Moody Our message must be clear and definite. Mark 12:37 (NKJV)And the common people heard Him gladly. Our message is not simplistic, but it must be simple. Our message should be authoritative. Jonah’s message was an unapologetic biblical directive from God Almighty. #2 There was a great response. Jonah 3:5 (NKJV)So the people of Nineveh believed God. The greatest revival in the history of the world came to Nineveh becauseJonah preached God’s message and not what the people wanted to hear. There was hope in Jonah’s message. John 3:16 If God could bring a mighty revival in Nineveh,He surely can do the same thing for America. Read Jonah 3:4–10 (NLT) This is a stunning spiritual awakening! An entire city turning to God. It was a great message.It was a great response.Now, we come to a great contrast. Read Jonah 4:1–4 (NLT) Jonah 4:4 (NLT)The LORD replied, "Is it right for you to be angry about this?" Sometimes people worry about new believers not changing quickly enough. Some believers have just stalled and stagnated. Sometimes people will wonder why a good God would allow bad things.Jonah wonders why a good God would allow good things—especially for bad people. Read Jonah 4:5–7 (NLT) Jonah missed the miracle because he was too worried about his own comfort. #4 The great commission today is“Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15 NKJV). There is nothing like seeing thousands of people coming to Christ.It truly is a taste of Heaven. Luke 15:7 (NKJV)"I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. If God would open the window to Heaven for a brief glimpse, how we would change.If he opened the window for a glimpse of Hell, we would change even more! Jonah 4:10–11Then the LORD said, "You feel sorry about the plant,though you did nothing to put it there. And a plant is only, at best, short lived.But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness,not to mention all the animals. Shouldn't I feel sorry for such a Great City?"--- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org. This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.
