Text: Jonah 1-4Theme: God could have done this without Jonah, but in God’s typical style, He used a very ordinary/flawed individual to bring massive change to over 120,000 people!

Text: Matthew 1:16; Luke 1:26-38Theme: Why was Mary chosen? What was it about her that set her apart? And…what can we learn from her example?

Text: Matthew 1:5; Ruth 1-4Theme: And entire book of the Bible is set aside to tell Ruth’s story. It’s a story of love and character and integrity. Through all the difficulties, Ruth maintained her faith and character. She shows us, even today, how God has a better story for each of us. He can, and will, complete His work in us…and through us.Memory Verse: Ruth 1:16-17 (NIV) But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49530027

Text: Matthew 1:5; Joshua 2 & 6; Hebrews 11:31; variousTheme: Strangely, as the Bible talks about Rahab, it seems to always mention she was a prostitute. It can’t be because God wouldn’t let her forget her past, but maybe so we’d be encouraged to forget ours. Your past does not define you!Memory Verse: Hebrews 11:31 (NIV) By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

Text: Matthew 6:24; Malachi 3:10; variousTheme: Truly investing everything in a way that honors God and fulfills His purposes gets real practical this week. Jesus doesn’t mince words, so it’s time we listen to Him on this.Memory Verse: Matthew 6:24 (NIV) “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49521180
