Jonah was more concerned with his own comfort than for the lives of the people of Nineveh. He did not want them to receive grace. Though he called their city "wicked," throughout this book God calls the city "great." God has great concern and compassion for the people. In this message Pastor Ashwin Ramani challenges us, "do you understand and reflect God's heart for our city?"

Have you ever found that you want grace for yourself, but justice for others? In this message Pastor Ashwin Ramani preaches on Jonah's response to God forgiving the Ninevites. Though it may seem strange to us that Jonah would be angry at God for extending grace and forgiveness, Ashwin points out that all of us are capable of similar "Jonah moments." Jesus instructed us to love our enemies; to pray for them and wish the best for them. Today you are invited to open your heart to the transforming power of Jesus so that he may help you love those you hate, can't forgive, and hold prejudices against.

Have you ever felt that you were beyond the reach of God's grace? In this message pastor Kent Priebe speaks from Jonah 3. God uses Jonah to bring repentance and grace the the entire city of Ninavah - a miracle that is more amazing than Jonah surviving in the belly of a fish! Not only does God give Jonah a second chance, he gives the people of Ninavah a second chance. In the same way, God is extending a second chance to you, and to those around you, through you. God's capacity to forgive is limitless. How will you respond to this grace?

Part of God's plan to lead us to maturity will often involve seasons of testing, intended to force us to learn that which we wouldn't normally learn in times of ease. The tests help build our character, make us trustworthy and capable of "handling" the blessing God desires to give us. In this message we will look at 4 - 5 tests God typically uses to prepare us for further blessing or responsibility.

Alone and surrounded by utter darkness in the belly of a whale, Jonah restores his relationship with God. Have you ever felt that you have run so far that not even God could reach you where you were? Pastor Ashwin addresses this in the next installment of the Jonah series. God has the power to raise you from your deepest darkness!
