As we remember the sacrifice of Jesus, never forget that God is able to pass over our sins because Jesus was the perfect substitute.

People tend to drift to either passively waiting on Christ’s return or actively working while ignoring his return. We are to show zeal in our work while we wait.

While we are on the clock vocationally, we are also on the clock missionally.  Even if your job isn’t in the ministry, you are in the ministry.

Churches are prone to segregate groups by ages. The biblical example is quite different by modeling multigenerational relationships.

All Talk (1:10-16) - Many can profess doctrinal clarity but few can practice ethical purity.  As believers, we cannot be all talk in our commitment.

Churches can easily drift from the biblical mandate.  God’s Word provides specific directions to bring order within a church family

Practical Heretic [Jonah 4] - It is worthless to agree with a theology that we cannot embrace. We must fight against the tendency to withhold from others the same grace that benefited us.

The God of Second Chances [Jonah 3] - Despite our sin, God provides second chances. Not only does he show grace to us, but he can show grace through us.

A Fish Named “Grace” [Jonah 2] - No amount of rebellion is greater than God’s love. His relentless pursuit of us often finds us in the lowest possible places.

Anywhere but Nineveh [Jonah 1] - It is not beyond God to call us to difficult and unexpected tasks. If we attempt to flee, God proves that he can always outrun us and get us right where he wants us to be.
