Jonah 1:17-2:10 - Jonah Still Doesn’t Get Grace - October 30, 2022

Pick up a children’s storybook about Jonah and the majority of them talk about how Jonah repents and asks for forgiveness in the belly of the whale. But does Jonah actually repent of running from God, or is he just thankful he didn’t die? Does Jonah just pay lip-service to the grace of God, or does he actually understand and experience it? Are you like Jonah in any of these ways? 

Jonah 1:3-16 - Repent or Die - October 23, 2022

Jonah, for some reason, thinks he can flee from God. He realizes pretty soon the absurdity of his actions and recognizes that only two options are available for him; Repentance or Death. Will his idolatry lead him to death? Will yours? 

Jonah 1:1-3a - The Reluctant Prophet - October 16, 2022

Everyone and their mother has heard of Jonah and the whale. But the book of Jonah is about far more than just a man and a fish. It is about God's mission, our ineptness, and His grace and mercy. In this sermon, we look at some of the themes running throughout the book.

1 Peter 2:4-10 - New Temple, New Priests, New People - June 19, 2022

Peter takes Old Testament passages and themes and applies them to the church. The church, in Christ, has become the new Israel. Now how do we live in light of the fact that we are priests of God? 

1 Peter 1:22-2:3 - I Love You Like a Brother - June 12, 2022

It's the age old question, What is love? What does it look like to love one another? What is the source of our love? What are some sins that will kill the love in your life and in your church? 

1 Peter 2:13-17 - Fear God, Honour the Emperor, In That Order - July 3, 2022

How should Christians relate to the governing authorities that have been placed over them? When do we submit? When do we not submit? Did Peter violate his own command to submit to the government?
