It looks like judgment, but it's actually provision. Week 3 of Jonah: The God Who Won't Let Go reframes the fish as rescue, not punishment, and traces a direct line from Jonah's story to Jesus. Jonah 1:17-2:10, ESV.

A storm hits the ship carrying Jonah away from God's call, and while the prophet sleeps, the sailors around him start to fear and worship the Lord. Week 2 of Jonah: The God Who Won't Let Go looks at what it means when God disturbs our comfort for the sake of rescue. Jonah 1:4-16, ESV.

In this moving talk from the Fall 2026 Women's Gathering at North Metro Church, guest speaker Beth Guckenberger shares a powerful message on the importance of our personal and spiritual "bank accounts of testimonies." Drawing from the biblical stories of Rahab, Ruth, and David, Beth explores how God uses every part of our history, even the messy parts, to prime us for our purpose and to encourage the generations coming after us. She introduces the Hebrew concept of Tohu Vavohu (chaos) and shows how, throughout Scripture and our own lives, God meets us in the water, speaks peace (Shalom), and empowers us to resist temptation.

Jonah's story starts with a clear command and an immediate refusal. But his disobedience wasn't really about geography; it was about trust. Week 1 of Jonah: The God Who Won't Let Go. Jonah 1:1-3, ESV.

We're closing Getting in the Game with Week 4: Who's Your "One"? Active faith always moves outward. This week, we're asking everyone to name one person they can pray for, invite, encourage, and help find and follow Jesus. The invitation isn't to carry pressure — it's to live sent, with eyes open for the one God has placed in front of you.

Week 3 of Getting in the Game is called No Lone Rangers Allowed! Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo sport. We need people around us who know us, encourage us, challenge us, and walk with us. This week is an invitation to move from isolation to community — to find your team and take a step toward real connection.

In Week 2 of Getting in the Game, we're talking about Spectator Sports — and why following Jesus was never meant to be something we watch from the stands. Active faith looks like humility, service, and a willingness to step in where we're needed. This week, the invitation is simple: pick up the towel and take a serving next step.

Jesus never called us to sit in the stands and settle for a comfortable faith. In this four-week series, we'll challenge one another to reject lukewarm Christianity, serve others, build meaningful community, and help one person find and follow Jesus. Faith was never meant to be a spectator sport. It's time to get in the game.

Are you full of information but starving for the truth?

In this powerful message, guest speaker Pastor Leonce challenges us to evaluate how we consume content in our modern world. We live in an age where podcasts, hot takes, and algorithms constantly fight for our attention, but information alone cannot spiritually form us.

Pastor Leonce unpacks why the Bible isn't just an ancient playbook or an emergency parachute—it is essential for our daily survival. Whether you are brand new to faith, carrying hurt from how the Bible has been misused against you, or feeling numb after years in the church, this message is a profound invitation to come back to the table and hear God's voice.

Are you spiritually "fake full"? In this powerful kickoff to our Hunger Revival 2026, guest speaker and worship leader Blake Goss brings a challenging and transformative word about what it truly means to crave the presence of God.

Using the physical analogy of being "fake full"—feeling stuffed by inflammation rather than true nutrition—Blake reveals how we often fill our lives with distractions, guilt, and even good things (like ministry or serving), leaving no room for the One Thing that actually satisfies our souls.
