Jonah chapter 4.

This class explores the book of Jonah not as a children’s tale about a runaway prophet and a giant fish, but as a profound story of God’s unrelenting grace toward the most unlikely people. Throughout this study, we will uncover how Jonah’s resistance, the pagan sailors’ awe, and the wicked city of Nineveh all become surprising windows into the heart of God. Far from being merely ancient history, Jonah confronts our own tendencies to run, resent, or control God’s mercy. Over five weeks, we will discover that Jonah is ultimately not a story about a man’s failure, but about the lengths to which God will go to pursue, forgive, and transform. This class will challenge our assumptions about who deserves grace and invite us to see ourselves and our world through the lens of God’s relentless love.

The practice of fasting and standing with the poor.

In a world full of distraction and constant consumption, fasting is God’s gracious invitation to deepen our hunger for Him. This 5-week class will explore the biblical, theological, and practical foundations of fasting as a means of grace, not an empty ritual or a way to earn God’s favor, but a joyful surrender that awakens our hearts to the presence and power of Christ. Drawing from authors like John Piper, Scot McKnight, Dallas Willard, and Richard Foster, we will recover fasting as a vital spiritual practice that leads not to deprivation, but to deeper satisfaction in God. Come discover how fasting joins the body and soul in longing for God’s kingdom, interceding in prayer, resisting temptation, and cultivating spiritual freedom.
