Jonah 2-3 | The most likely time to appreciate God’s mercy is when we’ve made a major mess of our lives. Bad choices and foolish decisions usually create horrible circumstances that leave us in a state of desperation. One of the advantages of being desperate is that we’re likely to understand our need to turn back to God and obey Him. In this message we’ll see ourselves in Jonah as he came to his senses and found his way back to God.

Weekend Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35

When we get honest about the condition of our hearts, we realize very quickly we need help. Jesus gives us the gift of repentance to alleviate the burden our sin creates and to protect intimacy in our relationship with him. Saying, “I’m sorry,” isn’t easy for any of us, but it is so good for all of us.
