We see how the Spirit sends, how the Church participates, and how we're invited to do the same. Despite both openness and opposition, the gospel spreads. And we can have confidence that God is still on mission and calls us to join Him.

Psalm 16 gives us six practical keys to a truly satisfying life. One that isn’t shaken by circumstances. David shows us that lasting joy doesn’t come from avoiding pain or chasing pleasure, but from staying close to the Lord. When trouble comes, we remember God. When we feel isolated, we choose to delight in His people. When idols pull at our hearts, we surrender again. We cultivate gratitude, we rest in Jesus’ death and resurrection, and we walk closely in God’s presence. The satisfaction we’re after isn’t hidden—it’s found in Him.

· Psalm 16
· Acts 2:29–32, 36

Psalm 8 is a blue sky after a grey winter. Pure praise in the middle of lament. No requests, no complaints, just worship. David lifts his eyes from hardship to heaven and declares the majesty of God’s name in all the earth.

This psalm reminds us that God’s glory is unmatched, His name exalted above the heavens. Yet He is also mindful of man. He is caring for us, crowning us with honor, and inviting us to reflect His glory.

Psalm 8 points beyond David to Jesus, the Son of Man who fulfills what Adam failed to do. Through Him, we are brought back to the Father and adopted into a new family. When life is heavy, Psalm 8 lifts our gaze. It helps us remember who God is, and who we are in light of Him.

Key Themes:
· Worship in the Middle of Trouble: Psalm 8 teaches us to praise even when life is hard.
· The Glory of God: His name is majestic in all the earth, exalted above the heavens.
· The Weak Made Strong: God reveals His power through human weakness.

In Psalm 2, we’re invited into the Throne Room of heaven, a Situation Room unlike any other. We listen in as God responds to a world in rebellion. Whether ancient or modern rulers, pride rages and plots against God’s authority.

We hear the noise of proud human defiance and then the calm, unshaken voice of God. He has set His King in place. His Messiah is Anointed. His Son is given the nations as His heritage. All who bow the knee to King Jesus, our Rescuer, and God’s beloved Son will find refuge.

Psalm 2 exposes human rebellion, whether dramatic or “suburban” and calls for full surrender—not just for kings and rulers, but for each of us. The psalm ends where Psalm 1 began: with blessing. Only this time, for all who take refuge in Him.

Key Themes:
· The World's Rebellion: Nations and rulers resist God’s authority and reject His rule. (Psalm 2:1–3)
· God’s Response: He laughs at human pride and declares His King—Jesus—on Zion’s throne. (Psalm 2:4–6)
· The Son’s Identity: Messiah, King, and the eternally begotten Son who reigns over all. (Psalm 2:7–9)
· The Warning and the Invitation: Serve with fear, rejoice with trembling, and take refuge in the Son. (Psalm 2:10–12)

Jonah 4 isn’t the ending we expect. It’s the mirror we might not want. After Nineveh repents and God relents, Jonah burns with anger instead of rejoicing. Why? Because God’s mercy revealed something buried deep in Jonah: bitterness, entitlement, and a heart misaligned with God’s mercy.

Jonah confronts us with uncomfortable questions: Do we get angry when grace is given to people we don’t think deserve it? Do we sulk when God seems generous to others but silent with us? Jonah knew God’s character, but he didn’t like it when that character didn’t serve his will.

The book of Jonah ends unresolved. The final word is a question, not a conclusion. Like Jonah, will we resist grace, or like Jesus, will we rejoice in it?

Key Themes:
· The Heart Exposed: Jonah is more upset about a plant than 120,000 people perishing. (Jonah 4:5–11)
· When Grace Offends: Jonah flees because he knows God is merciful and doesn’t want mercy for his enemies. (Jonah 4:2)
· Bitterness vs. Compassion: God challenges Jonah’s hard heart, inviting him to see people through His eyes. (Jonah 4:10-11)
· The Book That Reads You: Jonah’s story ends unresolved to draw us in. Will we receive God's mercy, and share it?

Reflection:
We are all Jonah. We run when we should rise. We get angry when God is generous. And yet God pursues us still. Through storms, plants, and painful questions, He is not trying to destroy us but to save us from ourselves. This is a story not just to read, but to enter. Will you let God finish it in you?

This sermon continues our series in Jonah chapter 3, where the mercy of God takes center stage. Not just for Jonah, but for an entire city. After Jonah receives his second call, he obeys. And what follows is one of the most shocking turnarounds in Scripture: the violent city of Nineveh responds with repentance.

We explore how God gives new beginnings to the undeserving, how repentance precedes renewal, and how the gospel always calls for a response. Whether you’ve failed like Jonah or rebelled like Nineveh, the God of a thousand chances is still speaking. And is still offering mercy.

If you’ve felt you’re too far gone, too hardened, or too stuck to change, this chapter says otherwise. Repentance is possible. Renewal is real. And it all starts with responding to the Word of God.

Key Themes:
· Grace Creates Second Chances: God pursues rebels and failures alike (Jonah 3:1–2)
· Obedience Over Loopholes: Second chances aren't for escaping—they're for responding (Jonah 3:3–4)
· Real Repentance Bears Fruit: The people—and king—of Nineveh show what true repentance looks like (Jonah 3:5–9)
· Mercy Meets the Humble: God relents when hearts turn from sin (Jonah 3:10)
· Someone Greater Than Jonah: Jesus offers a better Word and a better salvation (Matthew 12:41)

This sermon continues our series in Jonah chapter 2. After running from God’s call, Jonah finds himself trapped in the dark—buried in distress and unable to save himself. But in that place, he is met by the mercy of God. We explore how Jonah returns to the presence of God, how his prayers are shaped by the Word of God, and how he comes to treasure the grace of God in a new way.

Jonah 2 reminds us that even when we flee or feel stuck, grace knows how to find us. If you’ve been running, drifting, or hiding, this passage calls you to return. To God’s presence. To His Word. And to His grace.

Key Themes:
·Storms of Mercy: God's storms aren’t punishment—they’re grace. (Jonah 1:17; 2:3)
·Prayer in the depths: Jonah’s lowest moment becomes his turning point. (Jonah 2:1–2)
·Scripture-Shaped Prayer: Jonah prays the Psalms from the deep, reminding us of God’s Word in suffering. (Jonah 2:3–7)
·Idols and Steadfast Love: When we cling to lesser gods and worship created things, we forfeit the steadfast love of our Creator. (Jonah 2:8)
·Salvation Belongs to the Lord: Jonah remembers who saves. Salvation is from the Lord alone. (Jonah 2:9)

In this kickoff to our new series in Jonah, we explore what happens when God’s call disrupts our comfort. Jonah isn’t just a story about a fish—it’s a deeply personal account of resistance, mercy, and God’s unrelenting grace. The same Jesus we encountered in Revelation shows up here too, offering mercy to people who don’t deserve it—just like us.

Jonah is a prophet called to preach to Nineveh, a violent and brutal city. But instead of obeying, he runs—in the opposite direction. We see his downward spiral, and we wrestle with our own: when God speaks, do we follow or flee? This sermon confronts delayed obedience, self-protection, and the costly fare of rebellion.

But God pursues us. He hurls storms not to destroy, but to wake us up—to call us back. And through it all, He’s writing a story of mercy.

Whether you’re young and drifting or older and disillusioned, God’s still speaking. Will you respond?

Join us as we open Jonah 1 and see how the Word of the Lord comes—not just to Jonah—but to us. And like Jonah, we’re invited to rise, repent, and be sent.

Key Themes:
· The God Who Sends: God calls Jonah to Nineveh—a brutal, pagan city—revealing His heart for even the most wicked. (Jonah 1:1–2)
· The Cost of Disobedience: Jonah flees to Tarshish, paying a price to go the wrong way— like we often do. (Jonah 1:3)
· Storms of Mercy: God hurls a storm to stop Jonah's escape, not as punishment, but as rescue. (Jonah 1:4–6)
· Downward Descent: Every step away from God takes Jonah further down—geographically and spiritually. (Jonah 1:3–5)
· Pagans Who See Clearly: The sailors fear God and act with more faith than the prophet, reminding us that sometimes outsiders see truth more clearly than insiders. (Jonah 1:14–16)

Reflection:
Jonah 1 is not just about a prophet—it’s a mirror for us. We all have places we’d rather not go, people we think are beyond mercy, and moments we choose comfort over obedience. Yet God, in relentless grace, speaks into our lives and redirects us—not with shame, but with storms meant to save. As we sit with this text, we’re asked a question that echoes in our lives today: When God speaks, will we go? Or will we flee and find that even in our running, God is already there?

In Revelation 21–22, we glimpse the breathtaking finale of God's story—a world made new. The brokenness of Eden is reversed as heaven descends to earth, and the dwelling place of God is once again with humanity. No more death, mourning, or pain—only everlasting joy. The holy city, the New Jerusalem, shines with the brilliance of God’s glory, and the river of life flows freely from His throne. The tree of life, once barred, now stands open for all who belong to the Lamb. The curse is broken. The King is here. And the Bride is ready. This is not just a future hope—it redefines how we live now. The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come."

Key Themes:
· The City of God: A massive, radiant New Jerusalem, crafted by God Himself, the forever home for His people. (Revelation 21:9–21)
· God's Presence Fully Restored: There is no temple, for God and the Lamb are the city’s temple. The city is illuminated by His glory alone. (Revelation 21:22–27)
· The Tree and River of Life: Flowing from God's throne, the river waters the city, and the tree of life bears fruit for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:1–5)
· A Final Call to Faithfulness: Jesus promises His return and calls His people to keep trusting, worshiping, and longing for Him. (Revelation 22:6–21)
· The Reversal of the Curse: Sin, death, and darkness are banished. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will enter. (Revelation 22:3, 14)

Reflection:
As Revelation closes, the story comes full circle—from a garden lost to a garden restored. Eden returns, but it is even greater than before. It’s a magnificent city. In this final vision, we are confronted with a choice: Will we live now for the city that is coming? Will we worship God alone, trust His promises, and endure in hope? The Spirit and the Bride call us to Come. The King is coming soon. May we be ready to welcome Him.

In Revelation 19:6–20:15, we witness a climactic shift—from Babylon’s fall to the Lamb’s victory. Heaven erupts in celebration as the Bride of Christ is made ready, and the conquering King rides forward to defeat evil once and for all. Then comes the millennium: one of Scripture’s heavily debated passages. Yet amid the mystery, one thing is clear—Christ reigns, Satan falls, and the second death has no power over God’s people. This isn’t escape from reality. It’s a reorientation to what is ultimately real. Jesus will return. Will we be ready?

Key Themes:
· The Marriage of the Lamb: Heaven rejoices as Jesus receives His Bride, the Church—radiant and pure, clothed in righteousness. Every earthly wedding points to this ultimate union. (Revelation 19:6–9)· The Warrior King: Christ appears on a white horse, Faithful and True, to make war on evil and sin. His robe is dipped in blood; His name is the Word of God. He alone wins the battle. (Revelation 19:11–16)· Final Judgment for Evil: The beast and false prophet are thrown into the lake of fire. There is no burial, no honor—only ruin for those who defy the Lamb. (Revelation 19:17–21)· The Millennium Debate: Premillennial, Amillennial, or Postmillennial—theories differ. But what unites us is this: Jesus will return, and His reign will be complete. (Revelation 20:1–6)· The Second Death Defeated: Satan’s final uprising is crushed, and those whose names are in the Book of Life reign with Christ forever. (Revelation 20:7–15)

Reflection:
The vision of the Bride and the Rider confronts us: Are we seduced by Babylon’s promises or awake and ready for our King? Do we live with loyalty to the Lamb or drift in compromise? The time is urgent…it’s now. The Lamb is worthy. He will return to wed His Bride and wage war on evil. May we be found faithful.
