They are more like rhythms of grace that lead us deeper into the fellowship and intimate relationship we have with Christ! In this introductory message to this new sermon series, we look at how as we walk with Jesus, He will lead us into rhythms of grace that …

Anytime we become convinced that “those people” are the enemy, “those people” are the reason for our suffering, “those people” are the threat that will take us out, “those people” are the reason the world is going straight to hell...we are channeling our inner Jonah.

Many of us experience unrest in our lives from physical exhaustion, sin struggles, relational conflict, and just the general dissatisfaction and emptiness we sometimes feel. But the Bible tells us that there is a Sabbath-rest for the people of God. Jesus is our rest, and as we keep our eyes fixed on Him, we will experience His rest no matter what s…

There are many other lessons we can learn from Jonah’s pity-party, and I don’t mean to pick on Jonah because, again, it is only by Jonah’s humility and redeemed life...a life that eventually grew into spiritual maturity...that we have the privilege of reading this story and learning from it. I pray, that by God’s grace, we will all grow into spirit…

Does 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 teach that people who commit certain sins won't go to heaven? Does it teach that those who live in persistent sin are not true Christians?

Keep talking to God. Trust Him enough to be angry and to be honest. Know that God can handle your doubts, your frustrations, and even your very wrong thinking about Him! And remember Jonah.

Some will use Malachi 3:8-10 to say that tithing is commanded for all people. They'll teach that God will bless you with more if you are faithful to tithe. But that is not what that verse means.

Some will tell you that if you are not fully committed to following Jesus then you should be worried about standing before Jesus one day and hear Him say, "Depart from me, for I never knew you."

In Mark 1:15, Jesus says to repent (metanoia) and believe the good news. Some will say that means salvation is a 2-step process of repenting of your sins and believing in Jesus to be saved, but that is not what that verse means. Metanoia means to change your mind. Jesus was saying to change your mind about what you were believing about the Messiah …

Remember that God’s nature is to love and show mercy to His enemies. That doesn’t mean that He devalues justice, but wherever there is a bit of repentance, His nature is to forgive and to be patient, even when people continue to get it wrong.
