Speaking out against wrongdoing is rarely received well. Join pastor Cory for a reflection on Jonah chapter 3, and what the example of Jonah and Nineveh can teach us about accountability and repentance.

James 5:16 tells us that "the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." But what about the prayer of a self-righteous man? Jonah is depicted throughout his book as being hard of heart and opposed to God's mercy, all while failing to ever really acknowledge to God that his disobedience is a problem. Join pastor Cory for a short reflection on the prayer of Jonah in his darkest hour and what we can learn from the way God listens to the prayers of imperfect people.

We can learn a ton from missionary heroes in the church...but there's also a ton we can learn from bad examples. The prophet Jonah shows us perhaps the worst example of a missionary that we see in the bible - bearing a message from God to a foreign people, yet lacking to embody God's heart in even the smallest sense. Join pastor Cory for a reflection on Jonah's example of ministry and what it can teach us as a people who seek to share God's love and instruction with a watching world.

Why does the Church exist? Join Scott Soden, Brethren Global Partners Coordinator, for an update on how Jesus continues to offer hope through the Church around the world.

"What does it mean that he ascended?" The Ascension of Jesus isn’t just a doctrinal curiosity. It actually matters. Join pastor Cory for a reflection on the meaning of Jesus ascended and exalted and what that means for our role as we await his return.

The oldest manuscripts of Mark's gospel don't contain verse 9-20... but without them, what do we do with Mark's abrupt ending? Join pastor Cory for a reflection on the stunned silence of the women at Jesus' tomb, and what it means for us to confront the grave.

What does Jesus' death teach us about God's character and our relationship to him?

None of us were there to show kindness to Jesus before the cross. If you could have been there at that significant moment, what gift might you want to offer? Join pastor Cory for a reflection on Mark 14:1-11, the extravagant gift of Mary and the profound betrayal of Judas.
