Jun 28, 2026 "A Good God Will Not Leave Evil Unpunished"(Nahum 1:1–15)

Nahum 1 New International Version
1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
²The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
    the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
    and vents his wrath against his enemies.
³The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
    the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
    and clouds are the dust of his feet.
⁴He rebukes the sea and dries it up;
    he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither
    and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
⁵The mountains quake before him
    and the hills melt away.
The earth trembles at his presence,
    the world and all who live in it.
⁶Who can withstand his indignation?
    Who can endure his fierce anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire;
    the rocks are shattered before him.
⁷The Lord is good,
    a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
⁸    but with an overwhelming flood
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.
⁹Whatever they plot against the Lord
    he will bring^[a] to an end;
    trouble will not come a second time.
¹⁰They will be entangled among thorns
    and drunk from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.^[b]¹¹From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
    who plots evil against the Lord
    and devises wicked plans.
¹²This is what the Lord says:
“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.
¹³Now I will break their yoke from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”
¹⁴The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh:
    “You will have no descendants to bear your name.
I will destroy the images and idols
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,
    for you are vile.”
¹⁵Look, there on the mountains,
    the feet of one who brings good news,
    who proclaims peace!
Celebrate your festivals, Judah,
    and fulfill your vows.
No more will the wicked invade you;
    they will be completely destroyed.^[c]
^{a. Nahum 1:9 Or What do you foes plot against the Lord? / He will bring it
b. Nahum 1:10 The meaning of the Hebrew for this verse is uncertain.
c. Nahum 1:15 In Hebrew texts this verse (1:15) is numbered 2:1.}

June 21, 2026 “Maranatha: A Church That Loves the Lord”(1 Corinthians 16:22-24)

1 Corinthians 16:22-24 New International Version

22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let that person be cursed! Come, Lord[a]!

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.[b]

1 Corinthians 16:22 The Greek for Come, Lord reproduces an Aramaic expression (Marana tha) used by early Christians.
1 Corinthians 16:24 Some manuscripts do not have Amen.

Marantha: A Church That Loves the Lord

1 Corinthians 16:22-24

The love for God by the church in Corinth had grown cold, and Paul focuses on this. The end of His letter.

1 Corinthians 16:22 ESV

[22] If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

When our love towards God grows cold, so does our love for others. We might do many things and do them well, but it is pointless if there is no love.

There is a thinking that if we attend church regularly, we will continue to love God. Paul warns us that church attendance, many good works and sacrifices does not amount to much if there is no love for God.

We should pray that we would love God, and our love would not grow cold. We call to God; we should not feel that it is a burden

Maranatha means, "Lord, come!" Paul says this to remind the church that our hope is in Jesus and he is coming back.

The Book of Revelation is not a scary letter. When we understand who the letter was written to and its purpose, we can be encouraged. Jesus coming should not be a burden.

Maranatha is not a call for desperation but of expectation. Because we love God, we cannot live carelessly. We have to live with hope, love and faith. We have to do all things in love.

When we love Jesus, our attitude changes towards everything. We can see people differently, even difficult people. We can see situations differently despite how bad they are. We can see our true motivation when we serve the church.

We can do all the good works and serve the church fervently, but without love for God, then we are not serving God. We are just keeping busy.

Although a church's love grows cold, it can always return to God. We need to ask if we love the Lord. Service can be joy again. The word becomes hope again. Our love for the congregation will grow again.
