We all know there are “sins” and then there are “SINS,” right? Whether we want to admit it or not, we've created a scale in our own minds defining which sins are worse than others - then we ask ourselves, how could God possibly forgive THOSE sinners? As we close our series, Jonah: At Odds with God, we come face-to-face with God's scandalous grace, which He's in the habit of extending to those we don't think deserve it. Listen with us to our final message, Too Compassionate?, and learn how to respond to the Lord's compassion when it exceeds our logic.

Jonah: At Odds with God – Part 5: Too Compassionate? - Pastor Steve Zarrilli

Over the past few decades, the issue of discipline has come into question, as society has asked, "Is discipline effective? Necessary? If so, what kind?" In a similar fashion, we can, perhaps subconsciously, question whether God should correct us when we're in the wrong. For those who view God only as love and gentle goodness, to suggest He would bring corrective discipline on His people might seem absolutely foreign. "God wouldn't do that, would He?" As we continue our series, Jonah: At Odds with God, we begin to understand God as a loving Father who disciplines His children through what we'll call "severe mercy." Listen with us to our newest message, The Kindness of Severe Mercy, to learn how the goal of God's discipline is to pursue, awaken, and ultimately save us!

From an early age we were taught to say “sorry” after we hurt someone or make a poor choice, but as we grow up we realize just saying “sorry” doesn't always cut it. So, what does true repentance look like? As we continue our series, Jonah: At Odds with God, we begin to understand repentance is not simply confessing one's sins or asking for forgiveness. It's so much more! Join us as we take a front row seat to the radical transformation that took place in the ancient city of Nineveh as a result of true repentance. Listen with us to our newest message, Real Faith Repents, to see how God responds to repentance. 

What is Repentance? Is it just saying, "I'm sorry" and moving on? Or does repentance include something deeper? We continue our sermon series, Jonah: At Odds with God, looking at the significance of true repentance in the lives of sinful men and women. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz guides us through Jonah 3 as we see the impact of true repentance in our own lives. 

You've heard about that guy who got swallowed by a fish? That classic Bible story has breached church circles and even become a part of secular phrases. But, there may just be more beneath the surface of this story. Join us as we encounter a prophet who was not only angry with God but defied God's desire to save people he didn't like. Through Jonah: At Odds with God, we'll pose the tough questions Jonah wrestled through - Am I angry with what God's done? Allowed? Asked of me? - as we all face the same choice he did: receive God's mission or resent it. We continue this journey through Jonah with our message; Real Faith Repents

Have you ever feared someone? Not in a fear-for-your-own-safety kind of way, but a healthy fear that feels more like respect? Maybe you fear a boss, a mentor, a parent, or even a pastor this way. In Scripture, we're taught the importance of holding this type of fear - reverent fear - toward God. As we continue our series, Jonah: At Odds with God, we come across a group of sailors who teach us what it looks like to fear God in this way - the way His power and authority deserve. Listen with us to our newest message, Who's Afraid?, as we encounter the part fear plays in genuine, submissive faith.

When it comes to our relationship with God, one of the things that can often be under-emphasized is the notion that we are to fear God. Even as I say that many of us probably cringe at the idea that part of how we should relate to God is by fearing him. And yet, one of the key verses on Biblical wisdom reminds us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 10:9). Fear, it seems, plays a pretty important role in both how we relate to God and how we learn to live with wisdom in our lives. So, the question I want to wrestle with today that I believe our text addresses is, do we have a healthy fear of God?
