Saved, Sent, Speak

Kyle Kauffman

God’s saving love experienced is what he uses to commission us to be messengers of His word to others. God saves people so that he might then send them to warn others and speak his message of salvation to others. His love is what qualifies and calls us to be His ambassadors to the world. While not every Christian is called to be a missionary (like Jonah), all Christians are called to take part in God’s mission to spread the gospel by speaking the truth. And yet the story of Jonah tells us that even when we blow it as God’s messengers, there is still hope for us. And even when our message is incomplete or inadequate, God is able to save.

The God Who Saves

Kyle Kauffman

God acts in history to save people. This is how God displays his love. This is how we experience God’s love. This is not just the story of Jonah, but it’s also the story of the entire Bible and it’s the story of everyone who has placed their faith in Jesus. Jonah’s powerful prayer/psalm gives us a memorable picture of how God acts to save his people. It leads us to praise, dependence, and trust as we look to the God who saves in our own lives. And it points us to our Savior and what he experienced in order to accomplish our salvation.

God's Severe Love

Kyle Kauffman

Love can be painful because love seeks to do what’s in the best interest of someone else even when it hurts. We often conceive of love in nice and neat categories. But Jonah shows us that God’s love is what will lead him to send storms our way in this life. These storms are often the very means God uses to save us, to expose and destroy our idols, and to draw us back to him when and where we have wandered. God’s love is also what drove him to send his greatest storm upon His very own Son so that we could be saved.

God in Pursuit

Kyle Kauffman

Jonah 1:4 opens with one of the greatest phrases in the bible, “But the LORD.” Left to ourselves we would be completely lost and hopeless. We would remain estranged from God for all eternity. But the LORD shows his love in pursuing us. We see in the story of the sailors on the ship that salvation is a result of God’s intentional pursuit. And we see in the story of Jonah on the ship that our continued hope in the face of hearts that are prone to wander is God’s continual pursuit of us. Just as our love for another person is often displayed in our intentional pursuit of them, so also God’s love is displayed in his intentional pursuit of us. And our salvation, far from simply being a decision we made, is a display of the glory and sovereignty of God.

Jonah 1:4-16

Man on the Run

Joel Wood

This sermon is meant to provide an introduction to the book of Jonah by helping us to understand who Jonah was and what was taking place in history at the time of Jonah’s life. This sermon is also meant to show how Jonah’s response to God’s call exposes our own sinful hearts. We all hear God’s call, whether it’s to believe in Him or change how we’re living for Him. However, left to ourselves we all disobey God’s word, seek to escape his presence, and reject his authority over our lives. We are all JONAH and in desperate need of God’s loving and relentless pursuit of us. And like JONAH, we have a message to take to an unbelieving world because God’s heart is for all nations.

A Kingdom of Radical Forgiveness

Kyle Kauffman

God’s Kingdom is marked by radical forgiveness. Though we owe him a debt we could never pay, He fully and freely forgives us. And he now calls us to do the same with others. Our lives bear testimony to God’s great forgiveness by how we forgive and forbear with the sins of others. And yet so often we are like the servant in the parable who refuses to extend forgiveness as we hold grudges or try to make others ‘pay’ for the wrongs they’ve done to us. Jesus means for this parable to both shock us with the wonder of God’s forgiveness and shock us with how quickly our lives can fail to appreciate and reflect that forgiveness in how we relate to each other.

Matthew 18:21-35

A Kingdom of Shocking Grace

Brandon Fisher

God loves to give people what they don’t deserve in order to display His generosity. His Kingdom is a Kingdom of grace where he gives what he pleases to whom He pleases. We can be prone to believe that we deserve more than what we have been given. But those who live within God’s Kingdom are meant to see all they have been given as undeserved grace. This then enables us to live with joyful gratitude and rejoice in evidences of God’s grace to other people.

Y(our) Spiritual Biography

Kyle Kauffman

Although every single Christian has a unique and individual story to their life, we also have an identical and collective story to our lives. The details of how we came to faith in Christ may be different, but the true story that lies behind every one of our conversions is the exact same. As we understand our collective story, we better understand who we were, what God did to save us, and who we are called to be now. We find that God’s grace is the power that saved each of us and it is the engine that now drives our lives forward. As we understand our collective story it also helps us to see each other in the church in the right way. We are led to look at each other and see a miracle of God’s grace rather than looking at each other and seeing all the flaws and imperfections. And we are led to see those outside the church as those who are in need of God’s grace, just as we are.

A Passion for Generosity

Kyle Kauffman

God is an incredibly generous God. He owes us nothing and yet he gives us life, and breath, and all that we have. All that we truly deserve is judgment for our sin, yet God regularly displays his grace in how he generously provides for us. We glorify God not only by acknowledging His generosity, but also in being generous with all that he’s given us. We want to be a people who joyfully worship God by giving freely to meet the needs of others and see the gospel advance. We want to be a people who give generously so that in our generosity people might come to know the generous God who is behind all we have.

Psalm 112
