Jonah Would Rather Die Than Obey God - Jonah 1:4-17
Imagine being so determined to disobey God that you would rather be thrown into a raging ocean in the middle of the sea than do what He told you to do. That is exactly where Jonah finds himself in this passage. Yet we will find that this story is not really about Jonah. It is about God, His character, and how He responds to us. I find this passage very encouraging and believe as we study it, you will too.

Love of Money is a Snare – Acts 19:21-41
When Paul was preaching the gospel, many people got angry. It wasn’t always because they disagreed with what he said. Sometimes it was because the gospel cost them money. Today in Acts 19 we see a group of silversmiths form a mob against Paul and we will consider how Big Tech companies operate the same way today.

Do You Really Know Jesus? - Acts 19:1-20 Bible Study

Should Christians Judge Others? – Acts 18:18-28
Some people may like correcting others (which is an issue in itself). Most of you, like me, probably do not enjoy confrontation or correcting others. But what do you do if you see another believer doing something wrong? Do you confront them publicly? Stay quiet? Should we even judge to begin with? Today’s passage in Acts 18:18-28 shows us a perfect example of how to respond. We will see how Priscila and Aquila approach Apollos, who was preaching something very off.

Go On… For I Am With You - Acts 18 Bible Study
We all face times when we are discouraged. Things don’t go as planned. We have health issues. We have problems at work. We have problems at home. Sometimes we are even trying to minister for God and we face opposition. We might be tempted to give up, to throw in the towel. When Paul was facing this kind of discouragement, God told Paul, “Do not be afraid.” “Go on speaking. “For I am with you.” Today’s passage can encourage us and help us remember that no matter what difficulties we face, God is with us.

Why Did Jonah Run From God? - Jonah 1
Have you ever known exactly what God wanted you to do, but you didn't want to do it? Jonah didn't misunderstand God's command. He deliberately went as far as he could in the opposite direction. Jonah was a prophet who is in rebellion. And what makes his rebellion especially shocking is why he did this. Jonah is a very practical book. Join us for five lessons through this fascinating account of a reluctant prophet and a compassionate God. As you journey through, God will change you. The clips of Nineveh are from Expedition Bible. I highly recommend their video on archaeology and Nineveh here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34XBkm4QiLo Jonah 1 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our website: https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/jonah-studies/jonah-1/ Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon - https://amzn.to/48SgPEN (As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)

How Paul Shared the Gospel with a Pagan Culture - Acts 17:16-34
Imagine walking into a city filled with thousands of idols, where people worship completely different gods and have no biblical background. How would you share the gospel with them? Paul walked into exactly that situation in Athens, and what he did gives us a powerful model for sharing Jesus with people who think completely differently than we do.” Today we will study Acts 17:16-34. We will see how Paul preaches of an unknown God and how that still impacts us today.

Becoming Students of the Word | Acts 17 Explained
“Here is one question every Christian should learn to ask: ‘Where does the Bible say that?’ Acts 17 tells us that even when Paul himself preached, the Bereans searched the Scriptures every day to see if what he said was true. What does this mean in the modern age of AI? Today we will find out. In today’s study, we will also look at the fact that the Christian faith is reasonable and the importance of examining the Scriptures for ourselves.

Why Does Satan Attack Christians Who Serve God? | Acts 16 :16-40 Bible Study
Have you ever wondered why life sometimes gets harder when you're trying to obey God? You decide to read your Bible, and suddenly everything goes wrong. You commit to serving Christ, and unexpected opposition appears. Is that just coincidence... or is there something deeper going on? In Acts 16, Paul wasn't looking for a fight with the devil. He was simply on his way to a prayer meeting. Yet within hours he confronted a demon, was beaten by an angry mob, thrown into prison, and chained in the darkness. But what looked like Satan's triumph was actually one more of God’s victories.. Today in Acts 16:16-40 we'll discover what this passage teaches us about spiritual warfare, persecution, and how to rejoice in the face of unfair treatment.

A Simple, Powerful Tool to Understand and Apply ANY Bible Passage
This is best understood visually, so please check it out on our website: https://studyandobey.com/universal-bridge-interpreting-bible/ Many Christians struggle to know how to understand and apply the Bible. Today I'm really excited to show you this very simple four step process that can help you study and obey God’s Word on your own. These questions can be used in any Bible passage and can help you in your own Bible reading, in Sunday School, or in small groups. By using this four step process to interpret the Bible, we will see that every single passage in the Bible is relevant to our lives and every passage can be applied. This way to interpret the Bible has really helped me as I have studied God's Word and taught it to small groups for two decades. I have used it thousands of times and I believe it will help you too. Even better, it is simple and does not require a theology degree. Then we are going to practice with a couple of obscure Bible passages to show that it does work.
