  • 22-Jonah: Learning the Hot Way-Jonah 4:1-11- Pastor Jim West

    Anytime we become convinced that “those people” are the enemy, “those people” are the reason for our suffering, “those people” are the threat that will take us out, “those people” are the reason the world is going straight to hell...we are channeling our inner Jonah. We are perched under our self-made tent of self-righteousness, waiting to see and secretly hoping that God eliminates “those people”.

  • 21-Jonah: The Jonah in Us - Jonah 4:1-11 - Pastor Jim West

    There are many other lessons we can learn from Jonah’s pity-party, and I don’t mean to pick on Jonah because, again, it is only by Jonah’s humility and redeemed life...a life that eventually grew into spiritual maturity...that we have the privilege of reading this story and learning from it. I pray, that by God’s grace, we will all grow into spiritual maturity so as not to forget God’s mercy, to be those with a powerful imagination to set our eyes on the unseen hand of God at work, and to resist self-pity and a victim mindset.

  • 20-Jonah: What Your Anger Reveals - Jonah 3:10-4:4 - Pastor Jim West

    Keep talking to God.  Trust Him enough to be angry and to be honest. Know that God can handle your doubts, your frustrations, and even your very wrong thinking about Him!  And remember Jonah.  Jonah is well-intentioned but wrong, and he’s a bit of blockhead right up to the end of this story.

  • 3-Serving Like Christ - Mark 10:43b-45 - Pastor Mark Potter

    Serving like Christ is not a drag. It’s fun! And more importantly, it’s significant and fulfilling because when we serve, we serve within the Body of Christ to advance His mission in the world.

  • 2-Growing In Christ - John 15:1-8 - Pastor Jeff Sparks

    Pruning keeps the vine productive. Pruning looks devastating at times, nothing left but stems.  Yet pruning brings better grapes or more abundant fruit. The same is true for us. Actively meeting with just 1 PERSON Every Week for 1 year is Passing the baton to others, walking with them when the pruning takes place, THIS is at the heart of DISCIPLE-MAKING.

  • 1-Called To Follow - Matthew 4:18-22 - Pastor Jeff Sparks

    JESUS' ultimate purpose for you and me is to "MAKE DISCIPLES" BUT . . . just like Peter, Andrew, James, and John, and just like all other Disciples who Make Disciples throughout the history of the Church, we must "FOLLOW JESUS" first, and be DISCIPLED FIRST.

  • 19-Jonah: The Nature of Repentance - Jonah 3:4-10 - Pastor Jim West

    Remember that God’s nature is to love and show mercy to His enemies. That doesn’t mean that He devalues justice, but wherever there is a bit of repentance, His nature is to forgive and to be patient, even when people continue to get it wrong. That was true for the Ninevites, that was true for us, and that remains true for those who offend and threaten us.
