Welcome to our new message series at Paul Community Church, where we will journey verse by verse through the powerful and prophetic book of Joel.
Though short in length, the book of Joel carries a profound message—one of warning, repentance, and hope. It speaks to a people facing national disaster, and through its vivid imagery and passionate calls to return to God, Joel reminds us that even in the midst of devastation, the Lord is both just and merciful.
Each week, we will carefully explore Joel’s prophetic words, unpacking the historical and spiritual meaning of each passage. We will connect Joel’s urgent message to other parts of Scripture, especially the New Testament, showing how its themes of repentance, restoration, and revival are echoed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
From the call to weep and fast, to the promise that God will pour out His Spirit on all people, Joel is a call to wake up, return to the Lord, and be renewed. We will explore themes such as spiritual complacency, the purpose behind divine interruptions, the power of communal repentance, and the hope of full restoration through God’s grace.
As we walk through these verses together, we invite you to reflect on the state of your heart and the direction of your life. What is God interrupting in you? What is He calling you to surrender, to renew, or to rebuild?
Join us each week as we uncover the rich meaning within the book of Joel, draw connections across the Bible, and seek personal and communal revival. Let’s grow together in faith and obedience as we respond to God’s timeless call: “Return to Me with all your heart.”
