WHEN YOU'RE AT THE BEACH BUT YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN IN NENIVEH

During the four Sundays in July, I will be unmasking four valuable messages from the Whale of a Tale of a Minor Prophet: Jonah. These messages will both bless and challenge our hearts with regard to God's unfathomable grace, going beyond the trite understanding often associated with the term 'grace'.

Be amazed at the God of gracious love for his rebellious prophet and for his world.
The book of Jonah reveals to us the depths of God's grace, both to "outsiders" and to "insiders". It shows us God's compassion for the lost and His patience with His wayward people. Together, we will uncover important lessons from Jonah, and come face to face with the greatest revival in history, despite the reluctance of the prophet Jonah.
We will conclude on July 28th with the reality of 'Unwanted Grace', and we'll understand that God's Grace is not only greater than all of our sin; but it encompasses anything and everything that life can throw at us. Four Sundays in July.

I commend the reading of this short story to you before July 7th. Maybe even read it a couple of times. It won't take you 30 minutes, and you'll be better prepared to receive and bestow God's grace in abundance.
