Having just taught that Christians are members of Christ's body, and encouraging the church to use their grace-gifts in humble service, Paul shows them "a still more excellent way" (1 Cor. 12:31). In this sermon, Pastor shows how love is the indispensable mark of the new humanity created in Christ Jesus. For the love of God revealed in the gospel of his Son has also been poured into our hearts by the gift of his Spirit that we might love one another to the praise of his glory.

A renewed mind keeps God’s mercies central and takes delights in God’s will.

As the book of Jonah comes to a close, God teaches Jonah a lesson about anger and compassion, a lesson that the church must still be taught. In this sermon, pastor Joel reminds us once again of God's sovereign and scandalous mercy, available to all who call on the name of the Lord.

In this sermon, pastor Mitch reminds us of the profound truth this familiar story teaches us: that God is rich in mercy for all who turn from their sin and take him at his word.

After being hurled into the raging sea, God mercifully preserves Jonah's life by sovereingly appointing a great sea creature to swallow him. From the belly of the fish, Jonah offers a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord from the belly of the fish, acknowledging that he had been spared from a death he deserved. In this sermon on Jonah's psalm of salvation, pastor Keith reminds us that God is the one who can bring anyone from the pit of the dead to the dry ground of the living, for salvation belongs to the Lord.

In this sermon, pastor Joel shows us the absolute sovereignty of God over all things and the futility of our attempts to outrun, outwit, or ignore him.

In this sermon, pastor Joel introduces us to the main characters in the story of Jonah and the historical setting of the book.

In this sermon, pastor Matt preaches that worship is the only proper response to who God is and what he has done in Christ. A true knowledge of God, informed by his Word and the gospel of his Son, will compel us to give to him the glory he is due in all of life.
