In this sermon, we begin walking through the book of Jonah. Jonah is a rebellious, reluctant prophet. Though written as satire, and therefore it is easy to "laugh" at, unfortunately, this reflects our hearts a lot more than we'd like to admit! God calls Jonah and Jonah runs. God likewise often calls us, especially evangelistically, and for many of the same reasons shown in Jonah's heart, we run too! How do we learn from Jonah to then respond completely differently than him? Join us as we focus on living sent lives this new year, expecting a spiritual harvest through our commissioning and obedience!

In this sermon, we look at God using the chaos in the world around us to bring people to Himself! Jonah is in full rebellion against God, and in an almost comedic turn of events, everything Jonah is trying to flee from only ends up being the very things God uses to bring people to Him! The same thing happens to us, and we can either be vessels of honorable use, or vessels of dishonorable use. God is going to accomplish His will, our freedom comes in how we want that done! As we continue to think about evangelism, seeing once again how our hearts are like Jonah's, but then seeing what we can do about it, can lead us towards being faithful in sharing the gospel with many.

In this sermon, we dig into Jonah's prayer within the belly of the fish! God's grace motivates us to live sent, but sometimes we forget why God's grace is so important to understanding our calling. This passage has three reminders helping us to remember God's grace: 1) Remember What We Deserve, 2) Remember Our Inability, and 3) Remember the Cost. Our hope is that by the end of this sermon, you would remember God's grace and let it change your life and the lives of others, living sent in a world that needs God's grace!

Jonah went to the nations….eventually. When it comes to being called to the nations, we tend to have lots of questions and reasons why that “calling” seems to be great for other people. But what about you, Are you called to the nations? How are you suppose to know? Join us as we look at Jonah and the narrative of the Bible to see what the Word of the LORD says.

In this sermon, we read that the whole city of Nineveh was changed with Jonah's (awful) sermon. Sometimes we think the gospel won't flood the city, but, what if God moves? How can we expect to see a move of God, and what does it look like to believe (and act upon) God potentially moving?

In this sermon, we explore what I would call the climax of the book of Jonah. In Jonah’s response, we see that his heart is not aligned with God’s, and because of that, everything is backwards. Today, we’ll examine what’s in Jonah’s heart that God wants to transform, what we can learn from it, and the ultimate cure for a Jonah-like heart so that ours remain aligned with God’s.

Join us as we continue in our Jonah series. This second to last week we see Jonah at his lowest... praise God, that's right where he tends to meet us! Jonah has deep idolatry revealed in his life and heart, and, because of this, he tempted to give up on God and life itself. But, God never gives up on him. What happens when we chase other things, including our own selves above God? Join us as we see Jonah deep pit, and the beginning rays of Jonah's redemption.

Join us as we conclude Jonah looking at the compassion of God; how God's compassion won not just Nineveh, but even Jonah's heart! If we recognize the compassion of God, receive it, and allow it to change us, we'll have compassion like God for others. This is how we allow this story to change us, and how we grow (and never grow weary) in the work of evangelism.
