Jonah

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We are continuing our teaching series "The Word: The Stories in The Story" in which we are on a journey looking at the overarching story of scripture by focusing in on some stories within this big story. You see The Bible is not merely an ancient book of rules. It is a library of different stories telling one unified story of love and redemption. It is foundational, formational, and functional.

We focused in on the book of Jonah which is a book about the journey of a prophet named Jonah who ran from God, repented, and then still missed what God's heart was all about. Below you will find a few key take aways from the message!

-God’s grace is bigger than we imagine and we don’t truly understand it until we’re willing to give it to others.
-Sometimes mercy feels like punishment when we don’t have proper perspective, and we aren’t following God’s plan.
-Love of enemy is the truest mark of a heart changed by God.
-No matter how far you run and how deep you sink, God’s grace will find you.
-God’s love is for all people, we are not the gatekeepers of God’s grace.
-Grace is messy.

We hope that you lean into these truths and that you spend time in your journal doing the daily devotions in them.
