Jonah chapter 4 concludes the story - and confession of Jonah - who was called by God but ran from Him. This message gets to the heart of Jonah's problem: his self righteousness and love of comfort set in stark contrast to his hatred of the Ninevites. We are also allowed a glimpse into the heart of God who loved the world so much that He gave us Jesus.

Ever wondered if you had it as a speaker? Well, even after Jonah gives what is one of the worst and shortest sermons ever given the whole city of Nineveh is changed - how? This message deals with the power of God and the proper response of those that come into the light of His grace and mercy.

What do you do when adversity or calamity strikes? Even worse, what do you do when they strike as a consequence of your sin? In chapter 2 of Jonah, Jonah models some key principles for us to follow whenever we find ourselves in the middle of hardship.

The story of Jonah is more than a story of a big fish, it's the universal story of God's call and mankind's sin. It's a story of rebellion and grace, a story of disobedience and mercy - it's really a story of all of us and the need for Jesus.

04/15/07 - Norm Funk - Mark 14:25-72 - Pride cometh before the fall, goes the well-known adage - never was this more true than in Jesus' disciple Peter's case. Even after the declaration from Jesus Himself that Peter would deny Him three times Peter emphatically exclaims, "No way, not me!!!" What in Peter's life paved the way for this failure and what can we learn from him - and from Jesus in how He restores Peter - that can be applied to our lives to ensure that we don't follow suit?

04/08/07 - Norm Funk - The death and resurrection of Jesus, Paul wrote in I Corinthians, is of first importance, if it wasn't for the death and resurrection of Jesus our faith is worthless, we are still in our sins. The cross demonstrates many things to us - it was ghastly and beautiful at the same time - demonstrating both the love and justice of God through the sacrifice of Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God.
