Current Sermon Series

“We’ve all had moments where our choices, fears, or resistance leave us feeling stuck, exposed, and far from God. The story of Jonah reminds us that even when our lives feel mess, God’s grace is never absent. In this 6-week series through the Book of Jonah, we’ll discover what’s God’s mercy is greater than our mess. From storms and detours to second chances and heart-level transformation, Jonah shows us a God who relentlessly pursues us with compassion and invites us into His bigger purposes. No matter where you are or where you’ve been, this series will remind you that you are never beyond the reach of God’s mercy.”
