Jonah
Beginning mid-July we will be launching into an expository series on the book of Jonah. Even though the title of the book bears his name, and he authored the story, the book is not really about Jonah. Sure he ran from God, sure he was swallowed by a huge fish, and sure he delivered the message of salvation to the wicked city of Nineveh. It would sound like the book was about him. But the REAL story of Jonah is how God desired for the people of Nineveh to be saved, and God would not be swayed from seeing His will accomplished. There is much we can learn from this book, such as the gracious character of God, the sovereignty of God, and our call to go and tell the Good News to people of every nation. I hope you will begin to read the book yourself and come prepared to have your heart challenged!Matthew
Beginning in September we will start a look through the book of Matthew. There is nothing more exciting than to read the very words and actions of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. According to Matthew 7:28,29, "the crowds were amazed at [Jesus] teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law". Even today, 2000 years after Jesus walked on this earth, his words still continue to challenge our current way of living. It can be a painful process, but also a refreshing one!
