The Good Life

December 2, 2023 • Matt Rosenberg • Jonah 4:1–4, Genesis 4:3–16, Luke 15:11–32

Being close to God can help us find goodness even in the worst situations. Mastering our anger means recognizing the difference between good and bad anger, finding the goodness of God in every season of our lives. Watch "The Good Life" as we explore God's goodness and anger in the stories of Cain, Jonah, and the prodigal son. Through their examples we can learn to master our anger and no longer let it control us.

The End

December 16, 2023 • Matt Rosenberg • Matthew 5:43–48, Psalm 121:5–7, Jonah 4:7–11

It's really important to understand the difference between sympathy and empathy when we interact with others. While sympathy is more about feeling sorry for someone, empathy is about understanding what they're going through and connecting with them on a deeper level. As followers of God, we should strive to show empathy to others just as He shows mercy to those who don't deserve it. If you're interested in learning more about empathy, we highly recommend watching "The End," the final message in our Jonah series.

God Provides

December 9, 2023 • Matt Rosenberg • Zechariah 14:16, James 1:12–17, Jonah 4:4–5, Genesis 4:16–17, Deuteronomy 16:16–17

God's provision is always better than anything we can provide for ourselves. Even in uncomfortable seasons, we should trust in Him. God will work in all things to get and keep our attention. His desire is to free us from the limitations of our man-made shelters and give us something better: His provisions for us.

Unjust Judgments

November 25, 2023 • Matt Rosenberg • Joel 2:13–14, James 1:19–20, Jonah 4:1–3, Exodus 34:6–7, 1 Peter 2:23

It's funny how we tend to compare ourselves to the best people in the Bible, even though they don't always have the most admirable traits. We often ignore the negative qualities of these characters and fail to acknowledge that we possess them as well. This self-righteous attitude leads us to make unfair judgments about ourselves, others, and even God. Instead, what if we learn to have faith in God, who always judges justly? Let us show you how in this weeks message, "Unjust Judgments" part 10 of our Jonah series!
