Have you ever struggled to understand why things happen in life that don’t make sense? Have you ever questioned God about those struggles and felt that He was silent? What are we to do when God doesn’t work in the ways we think He should? The book of Habakkuk has some answers to those questions as Habakkuk shares his own confusion with God. He takes us on a progression of faith from confusion to consolation; from being perplexed to being at peace with God. Life is filled with unanswered “Why’s”, and we can either torment ourselves trying to understand what God is up to, or we can learn to rest in the Lord and trust Him. Find out in today’s study how we can make the same progress as Habakkuk did in a teaching entitled, “When God Doesn’t Make Sense.”

Time can sometimes be our enemy. Relationships can drift apart slowly over time. The same is true about our walk with the Lord. What once was joyful, exciting, and important can, over time, become common, ordinary, and unwanted. This is the case with the Ninevites in the book of Nahum. One hundred and twenty-five years earlier, the Ninevites had repented under the preaching of Jonah, but now the same people are under God’s judgment for forsaking Him. How does the slow erosion of our faith happen over time? Join Pastor Gary as he shares three threats to a sustained walk with God.

The book of Micah ends with a promise—that God is forgiving, merciful, compassionate, and a God who casts our sins “into the depths of the sea” to be forgotten and forgiven. So many people carry around guilt and shame from the past and desperately want to feel forgiven. There is a practice today among Jewish people called “Tashlich” where they stand along the bank of a river or along the coast of the ocean and read from Micah 7:18-19 while casting bread into the water to symbolize their sins being cast into the depths of the sea. As a symbolic gesture, casting bread into the water is fine; but there is a forgiveness that comes through Jesus Christ that cleanses us from all guilt and shame! Follow along as Pastor Gary shares about how our sins are cast into the Sea of Forgetfulness.

“Jonah and the Whale” is no doubt one of the most familiar stories in all of the Bible (although the word “whale” does not appear in any English translation of the book of Jonah… it simply says a “great fish” swallowed Jonah). However some dismiss the story as FICTIONAL (along the lines of Moby Dick), and others argue it’s only ALLEGORICAL (a picture of God’s love and forgiveness of sinners, but not a true story). Yet, Jesus mentioned it twice in Matthew’s gospel (Chapters 12 and 16) as a FACTUAL story. And that’s how we should interpret it too—a real story with real people and real events that illustrate a central theme: the mercy of God. We all need God’s mercy (His love, compassion, and kindness)! Join us for today’s study as Pastor Gary highlights 4 characteristics of God’s Mercy from the book of Jonah that are important for us to understand for our lives.
