Series: Jonah — Preacher: Jon Simburger —

In the opening of Jonah, a word from God commands him to deliver a message of warning to a foreign people. But the prophet’s own distant and rebellious heart is exposed by the mission, and he sets out running from God’s presence. Through the entire book Jonah never really stops running, but neither does his good heavenly Father who pursues him. In this series we will see that while we are​on​mission as His sent people, our good Father faithfully pursues​us as His​ ​mission​. And we’ll be challenged to come to grips with God’s judgment and mercy in ways that require our hearts to be reshaped by the gospel.

Series: Counter-Culture Kingdom – How Jesus’ Gospel Changes Everything — Preacher: Jon Ransom —

In Matthew’s gospel we come to learn that Jesus is the only promised and perfect king. We read of his perfectly just kingdom, and we learn of his primary values of his counter-culture kingdom. At the outset of the sermon on the mount, the beatitudes introduce us to the primary values of Jesus’ counter-culture kingdom. They are, in a way, Jesus’ inaugural address as king. In this series, we will learn how to gain entrance into Jesus’ forever kingdom, and we will learn how to live as a citizen of his perfectly just kingdom, all while living within the borders of broken kingdoms with unjust systems, and under the leadership of imperfect and unjust kings here on earth.
