Arrowhead Church - Morristown

We’re all great sinners and God is a great Savior. There are three themes that should be seen that are the main motifs of the story. A.) The expansiveness of our sin B.) The expansiveness of God’s grace c.) The expansiveness of God’s mission. God has a heart for people of every race, every background, every age, and every social status. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance. Over the course of this summer pastor Brett Moore will teach from the book of Jonah and share how even when we run, Jesus runs after us.

The irony of the story is that Jonah emerges as the chief antagonist. No one in the story deserves God’s grace and mercy less; no one deserves God’s anger more. When you’ve been forgiven much, the right response to God is always love and obedience. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance.

The Gospel shows that we win by losing, we triumph through defeat, we achieve power through service, and we become rich by giving ourselves away. The Gospel is good news for losers. Jesus lived the life we losers couldn’t live and died the death we losers should’ve died. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance. Over the course of this summer pastor Brett Moore will teach from the book of Jonah and share how even when we run, Jesus runs after us.

When those who’ve fled from Him are finally turned around, God always welcomes them back. The cross is God’s greatest statement of that. He always welcomes - with open arms - those who realize that their only hope is to turn from themselves and toward God. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance.

The focus isn’t Jonah and the fish but Jonah and God. It isn’t about mere physical survival but spiritual revival. Jonah is desperate; and like most desperate people, he turns to God. From the nothingness of the belly of the fish, Jonah reconnects with the God he rejected. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance. Over the course of this summer pastor Brett Moore will teach from the book of Jonah and share how even when we run, Jesus runs after us.

Flight from God always leads downward. When we run from Him we rarely experience any sense of the kind of peace we were designed to enjoy from God. Running from God not only costs us but those around us as well. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance. Over the course of this summer pastor Brett Moore will teach from the book of Jonah and share how even when we run, Jesus runs after us.

To flee from God is to rise against God. It is stand-up, straight-out, in-you-face defiance against the One to whom we owe all loyalty and love. It means insisting that our way of doing things is better than God’s way. Most of us have the capacity to make stupid choices and look back and say, “I can’t believe I did that.” All of us need, at one time or another, a second chance.

Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (John 6:1-14) - If you follow Jesus long enough and far enough, eventually you are going to trespass into the impossible. The truth is that we don’t worship a God who just DID miracles, we worship a God who DOES miracles.
