The Storming Prophet of a Wonderful Counselor

As we draw near to the end of Jonah’s story, He’s been a first-hand witness to God doing unbelievable miracles AND ministry to reform a whole society far from God, yet we still find a storm raging… not on the sea, but in Jonah's own heart. The story of Jonah leaves us with a cliff-hanger: Does Jonah ever change? Here we find yet another example in the Word of what we all need for true transformation: a therapy session with the Wonderful Counselor.

The Sinking Prophet

What if all the truth in the Bible could be summed up in a five-word sentence? As Jonah sinks into the sea, powerless to save himself, he discovers the truth that echoes through all of Scripture: “Salvation belongs to the LORD!” This Easter, come and see how God meets us in the depths—and brings us to life.

The Prophet Who "Caused" the Storm

In the next part of Jonah’s story, it’s the pagan sailors—not the Lord's prophet—who have more spiritual awareness, who show more compassion, who fear the Lord, pray earnestly, and respond in worship. Jonah, the one with God’s word, would rather be thrown overboard than turn back to obedience to his God. In a surprising twist, God uses them to expose him. Could the same be happening today? Join us as we explore how God sometimes uses the unbelieving world to confront His own people—and why that might be exactly what the Church needs to hear right now. Will we be humble enough to hear it?

The Sleeping Prophet

No one likes to talk about it, but deep down, we all know it’s true: our sin has consequences. The choices we make and the actions we take can disrupt relationships, damage our own lives, and cause harm in ways we don’t always see. But perhaps the most terrifying reality from Jonah’s story this week is this—we can be completely asleep to the destruction our sin is bringing. Are we awake to what God is trying to show us?

The Rebel Prophet

Throughout the ages, our God has repeatedly proven himself to be merciful and gracious, forgiving sin, and blessing abundantly. But what happens when we meet an Israelite prophet who doesn’t like that about God and decides to rebel instead of obey when the Lord calls Him? Come find out this and way more as we start our new series through God’s word in the book Jonah — The Prodigal Prophet of a Gracious God.

Wait… Who Am I Again?

Christ is continually at work in those who belong to Him, shaping and molding us into His likeness. One of His greatest works is to convince us of and help us live in our true identity as His followers. Among the many things He graciously declares us to be, there’s only one that He says will help increase our faith… and that is that we are “unworthy servants.”

Charity and the Church

How does the church partner with Christ in seeing people reconciled in all things? 1 John 3:18 "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." Hear from our family pastor talk about ways how a local organization, Love INC, equips churches to love people not only with their words, but their actions.

Look Up!

We are a people set apart, called by our heavenly Father to live the Jesus Way... to give a blessing when we are cursed, to forgive when we are hurt, to love when we are hated. As beautiful and right this ideal is, there's one lingering question: how? How can we live so radically? The simple answer is: where are you looking?

Called to The Jesus Way

When we think of a “calling,” we often picture a life mission—our purpose, passion, a moment we were made for. While it’s true that every follower of Jesus has a calling, Scripture describes it less as a grand mission statement and more as a way of life. Our true calling is to live the Jesus Way.
