All In, with Kirk Crossing

Message two in the Align series focuses on Jonah’s powerful and personal experience of God’s grace.  We learn that, apart from grace, there can be no alignment of our hearts with God’s.  Jonah’s experience of God’s gracious saving work teaches us three important lessons: 1.) Grace makes our story continue  2.) Grace runs as deep […]
