Finding Jonah
Jonah is a story a man who is at odds with God. God calls. Jonah runs. God thwarts. Jonah despairs. God provides. Jonah prays. God delivers. Jonah preaches. God saves. Jonah complains. These kinds of dynamics are not unique to Jonah's life--they are part of our life with God as well. Join us for a four-week series as we seek to learn more about God's call on our lives from the successes and struggles of Jonah.
Running from God
2010-01-10 Scott Scruggs
There are two realities that are consistently found through the Bible. God calls people. And people often run from it. The key question is why? And where do we tend to run? And most importantly, what does God do to help us get back on the right path?
Never Beyond Redemption
2010-01-17 Russell Mowry
From inside the fish, Jonah gives us a personal account of God's saving action in his life. We all run from God in our own ways. No matter how far from God we may be at this very moment, we are never beyond God's redemption. If we cry out and rely upon God fully, God can redeem our lives and we can be transformed into the people God designed us to be.
Mission Impossible
2010-01-24 Scott Scruggs
Jonah is finally on his way to Nineveh where the odds of failure seem stacked against him. An Israelite prophet preaching a six word sermon to a Gentile culture that seems beyond saving--Jonah must have been thinking there is simply no way I can make a difference. We all have a 'no way' list, that list of sins and struggles where change seems impossible. But, as Jonah is about to discover, God does his best work in 'no way' situations.
The Moral of the Story
2010-01-31 Scott Scruggs
Jonah preached. Nineveh repented. God saved. One might expect the story to now conclude with a joyful celebration of God's mercy and love. Only that's not what happens. What happens next is not only the biggest surprise in the book of Jonah, but it's also the most important lesson about what really matters to God and how the church needs to change.
