The Pedigree of the King 

Matthew 1:1-17 

Pastor Aaron Meservey 

Jonah 4 

Jonah’s harsh anger towards the Ninevites is easy for us to condemn, but in the closing verses of the book, while Jonah fades in the background the question we are called to answer is not “Do we hate as Jonah hates?” but “Do we love as God loves?”

Pastor Aaron Meservey 

Jonah 3:5-10

Saving faith is never mere belief in ideas, but a trust in God that naturally produces repentance, turning us from our sin and toward His mercy. Jonah 3 shows that God sees genuine repentance, delights to show compassion, and offers assurance to all who cling to Him in faith.

Pastor Aaron Meservey 

Jonah 3:1-5

Jonah 3 reminds us that God’s mission advances through grace. He calls imperfect people, prepares hearts ahead of them, and works powerfully through their obedience so that all may hear and respond to His mercy.

Pastor Aaron Meservey 

Jonah 2

As we continue Jonah’s story, we find a God whose mercy redeems from the most dire circumstances those who continue to need more mercy than they deserve.

Pastor Aaron Meservey 

Jonah 1:4-16 

When God sends storms into our lives, it isn’t to destroy us but to awaken us. In Jonah 1, we see that the Lord’s severe mercy gets our attention, confronts our hypocrisy, and leads us to awe- revealing a God who pursues us even in our rebellion so that His grace might be seen and His glory known.

Pastor Aaron Meservey

Jonah 1:1-3

The story of Jonah begins not with a man chasing God, but with a God who pursues even the undeserving. In this collision of divine purpose and human resistance, we discover a mercy that offends our sense of justice yet reaches even Nineveh and even us, calling every follower of Christ to stop running and join God’s redemptive mission to the world.

Exodus 3:1-15

The passage in view in this message (Exodus 3:1-15) is not 'more inspired' or 'more important' than other passages of God's Word. It is 'more direct,' though. God is asked to "introduce Himself' -- and He does!  If God called your name  like He did Moses (as Jesus says the Good Shepherd does with each of His 'sheep' [John 10:3]), would you hear?  How would you respond?  God says He sees the oppression, He hears the cries, and He is concerned about the pain and suffering -- and so, He tells Moses, 'I am sending YOU'!  What if God called you?  What if God sends you?  After all, we know He still hears, He still sees, His heart is still concerned with the pain and suffering. . . . 

Exodus 3:1-6

Dr. R. Todd Mangum 

When last we left Moses, in Exodus 2:15, he had left home a disgrace, a failure, believing he was done with, and that God was surely done with him.  But God wasn't done with him.  But first He needed to get Moses' attention.  There is a pattern here.  God is quite resourceful at getting people's attention.  Is God trying to get YOUR attention -- even right now?

Dr. R. Todd Mangum 

Exodus 2:11-15

Faith by grace saves.  That is a biblical theme clearly and consistently presented to us in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.  It is a chord struck soundly in the lives and redemptive history of Joseph and Moses we've seen thus far.  In Exodus 2:11-15, however, a discordant note is struck, alerting us to the fact that not every bold, well-intentioned action is an act of faith, nor necessarily covered or endorsed by God's grace. In Exodus 2:11-15 there is a homicide committed by the would-be leader of God's people, which is never explicitly condemned, nor commended, by God.  What's up with that?
