Old Testament: Obadiah, Jonah 1 - 4, Micah 1 - 7
What is the meaning of the statement in verse 15 of Obadiah, "your deeds will return upon your own head"?
If Jonah knew God well enough to know that He had given Jonah a message for Nineveh, why did he think he could run away from God?
In chapter 2 Jonah prays from inside the fish. Does his prayer include asking God to let him out? What is he saying in his prayer?
Why did the people of Nineveh, including the king, believe the message from Jonah and repent of their sin?
Why was Jonah angry when God showed mercy to Nineveh?
Micah 1:5 says, "All this is because of Jacob’s transgression, because of the sins of the people of Israel." What was being prophesied because of the sins of Israel?
Micah 2:12 says, " I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel." Who is God calling a remnant?
Micah, in 3:11, rebukes leaders, priests, and prophets for being motivated by financial gain. How can a Christian leader stay free of being influenced by money?
When will the promise of peace in Micah 4:3-4 be fulfilled?
When Herod asked the chief priests and teachers of the Law where the Messiah would be born, they quoted from Micah 5:2. If they were familiar with Old Testament prophesies concerning the Messiah why weren't they better are recognizing the Messiah when He came?
What three things does Micah 6:8 say the Lord requires of us?
Micah 7:18-19 says, "You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea." In light of God's mercy what should our attitude be toward our past sins?
Psalms 141 - 143
David prayed in 141:3, "Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips." Why would anyone need a guard over their mouth?
David wrote Psalm 142, "when he was in the cave." Verses 4 and 5 say, "I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, Lord; I say, 'You are my refuge.'" Are you able to call on God and trust Him when it seems like there is no one else around to help?
143:6 says, "I thirst for you like a parched land." What benefit is there in having such a thirst for God?
New Testament: Revelation 1 - 7
According to 1:7 who will see Jesus when He returns?
What do the stars and the lampstands in chapter 1 represent?
What does the Lord tell the church in Ephesus to do about the fact that they had forsaken their first love?
What command does the Lord give the church in Smyrna?
In 3:1 the Lord tells the church in Sardis, "you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead." How can there be such a difference between reputation and reality?
Why does the Lord tell the church in Laodicea that they are lukewarm?
What do the four living creatures in chapter 4 do all day?
5:9 says, "with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation." What does this show you about Jesus' command to preach the gospel in every nation?
Why were "those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained" told to wait when they cried out for God to avenge their blood?
There is a great multitude described, beginning in 7:9. Where did they come from? Where were they when John saw them?
