Title: Man Overboard Series: Relentless Grace Passage: Jonah 1:1-17 How far is too far from the grace of God to be forgiven? Is there a line in the sand that, once crossed, you can never come back from? Have you ever felt too far from God's reach? Too far from grace? There is good news for those who have thought, “I'm too far gone to be helped.” God desires to move in grace toward those who are far from Him. The message of grace doesn't end there. There is yet another warning to heed: To the follower of God, examine your heart. Are there things in your life that keep you from embodying God's grace to those who have wronged you? Can those who have experienced the scandalous forgiveness of God ever be vindicated in withholding it? The book of Jonah lays bare the truth: God desires to move in grace toward those who wound as well as those who have been wounded. Find out more about the radical forgiveness of God as we journey through the book of Jonah in our series, Relentless Grace.

Kaitlyn shares her powerful story of exhaustion from her relentless battle against her own struggles and limitations. Wrestling with doubt, fear, and self-reliance, Kaitlyn reaches a breaking point. It's in her weariness that she uncovers a profound truth: true freedom comes from surrendering to a higher power. As she learns to listen to God's guidance, Kaitlyn begins to experience the peace and liberation she's been longing for.

Jonah Series: Running from God's Relentless Grace Jonah 1 Pastor Jeremy

This is the sixth sermon in our sermon series entitled The Life of Jacob, walking through Genesis 26-36. For more information about Northfield Community Church in Northfield, MN, go to our website - northfieldcc.org.

The Old Testament is really about Jesus. Jesus is a better Adam, He is a better Noah, and He is a better Abraham. Jesus was and is the solution that we need. He's the solution that God had for us all the way back in the Old Testament. After sin entered the world it became morally bankrupt. However, God loves His people and wants nothing more than to be restored with them. Therefore, He has a solution. The solution is Jesus. Will you accept Him today?

God's promises do not fail. He is a God of relentless grace. Today Pastor Ricky will show us that this is the theme throughout the Book of Genesis. We will hear that it started with Adam and Eve, went to Noah, then to Abraham. When sin entered the world humanity became weak. However, God has always had a plan. His plan is to bring Redemption to His people and restore them to Himself. Therefore He showers His love and grace down upon us and keeps His promises.

Do you view all of life through the lens of grace? This week, we conclude our series looking at the end of Jacob's life. After all the twists and turns, fits and starts, ups and downs of his life, the mature Jacob becomes a billboard for grace, recognizing God's care through all that lies behind and rejoicing in God's blessing for all that lies ahead. It's one thing to run to grace in a moment of crisis, but what if we allowed God's relentless grace to reframe our entire life?

Have you ever made such a mess in your life that you wondered if God was done with you? After a dark season of spiritual drift in Jacob's life, God intervenes again. Over and over in Jacob's journey, God's relentless grace seeks Jacob out. This week, we are reminded that the Lord pursues us wherever we go, keeps his promises, and invites us to dwell with Him. Note: Please note that this chapter includes tragic events which are difficult to consider, including sexual assault, deceit, malicious use of religious ritual, and murder. It might be helpful to read Genesis 34 in advance of Sunday's sermon, especially if you plan to bring children into worship.

Do you ever think that small decisions won't lead to big trouble? It seems like Jacob's troubles are behind him, now that Laban and Esau are out of the way. But sometimes, a place of comfort can become a place of compromise. In Genesis 34, it all takes a tragic turn as one devastation follows another. Scripture does not hide the ugly side of human nature, and we are left looking for God's deliverance from it all.

What does it look like to have a life-changing encounter with God? It's an important question, maybe even an intimidating question. This week's sermon looks at one of the most famous scenes in all the Bible: Jacob wrestling with God. God engages Jacob at the point of his greatest weakness and transforms his life completely while also leaving him limping toward home.

Preached 3-24-2024am Rev. Elbert McGowan, Jr. Genesis 29:31-30:24

Does life feel like a roller coaster sometimes? Jacob's life certainly did. This week, we'll look at another twist and turn in Jacob's life as he prepares to meet his brother Esau again after 20 years. Jacob's situation will give us an honest picture of the difficulties of life in our world, but it will also point us to hope in the midst of whatever life throws our way.

How do the routine frustrations of life teach us to lean on God? This week, we continue our journey with Jacob as he experiences both professional success and business corruption in his partnership with his father-in-law Laban. In our study, we will see how common conflicts of life, though annoying in the moment, can be used by God to shape our faith and bless our lives.

What do you want from life? We all have heart longings that demand our attention and drive our emotions. This is a normal part of life. But things get messy when we set an inordinate amount of hope on someone or something that can never fulfill us. This week, we watch Jacob's wives seek to win affection, appreciation, and significance in all the wrong ways. It's a complete mess! Yet God works through this dysfunctional family to bring about his plans for good.

Lots of people have asked questions about why God allows this or that to happen in our world. But have you ever wondered why God was merciful to somebody you thought simply didn't deserve it? Why does it surprise us to think God might forgive those persons we consider to be repeat offenders or “repugnant others?" And are there ever times we think God simply could not forgive us for something we've done multiple times?Join Pastor Jim as he shows us how there are times the surprising and relentless grace of God proves Him to be more merciful than we think He should be, more powerful than we believe He could be, more just than we sometimes want Him to be and more wise than we ever imagined He could be.

Have you ever set your heart on some great goal only to be disappointed in the end? This week, we see Jacob's disillusionment in the very moment he thought would be the highlight of his life. Yet even when the trickster gets tricked, God is at work to bring about his good. Join us as we see how our disappointments reveal desires that only find their fulfillment in God.f

What kind of people does God love? It's an important question that this passage answers for us. To this point in Genesis, we've not seen anything admirable about Jacob — not his character, not his morality, not his spirituality. When Jacob is on the run, unsuspecting, and fast asleep, the gate of heaven opens to reveal God's grace. Jacob was not looking for God, but God came looking for Jacob.

To be experts in grace, we must first admit we are experts in sin. Of course, none of us like to talk about our failures, but they're still there. In some ways, things are complicated because good and evil keep showing up together, side-by-side, in our lives. So, we dress up our good intentions and do the best we can. But what if grace offered us a better way?

In the Age of Amazon, we've grown accustomed to having whatever we want delivered to our doorstop in two days or less. And it's not just Amazon. We can order food, stream movies, and communicate with others in an instant. But have you ever wondered what this instant, easy access to everything is doing to our spiritual lives? In week two of our series, we'll look at Jacob's dad Isaac and see how life with God is nothing like ordering on Amazon.

Most of us believe in God's grace—at least in theory. But we often struggle to trust it in our everyday lives, so we live with by an internal scoreboard of our successes and failures. Yet over and over again, God uses messy and sinful people (like us) to fulfill his plans. This series follows the life of Jacob as it wanders a twisted path filled with grasping, striving, and deceit as well as redemption, blessing, and beauty. We will see how the gospel triumphs as he learns to lean upon God rather than self. Through his journey, we will learn to grapple with our own shortcomings as we live by faith in God's relentless grace.

Certain words can be freeing. Like “you're forgiven.” Or “the debt has been canceled.” Or “you've been found not guilty.” The Gospel includes all those words. We've been forgiven of our sin because Jesus paid our debt and took our guilt upon Himself. Those words of freedom can't be kept to ourselves. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, as Pastor Greg Laurie continues a series called Relentless Grace, we'll see the importance of sharing that Good News with those who need freedom.
