Grace In The Gut of A Fish
by Mike Smith on July 21st, 2025
Pastor Mike explores Jonah’s lowest moment—literally and spiritually—in the belly of a fish. Far from being the end of Jonah’s story, this dark place becomes a turning point for grace. The message highlights how God often does His deepest work when we are at our most broken, and that His grace is not reserved for the perfect but offered freely to those who cry out, even in desperation. Jonah’s flawed prayer shows us that even imperfect, self-centered prayers matter to a God who listens and responds with compassion. Ultimately, the sermon points us to the radical truth that Jesus meets us in our mess, carries our burdens, and offers new life—not just a second chance. Read More

Are we here by chance, or by divine design? This powerful message challenges us to consider our place in God's grand plan, drawing inspiration from the story of Esther and the early Christian church in Acts. Just as Esther was positioned 'for such a time as this,' we too may be strategically placed by God in our current circumstances. The early church's devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer serves as a model for our own commitment to faith. Their unity despite differences, empowerment by the Holy Spirit, and contagious generosity all point to a profound truth: we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. This realization can transform how we view our role in the church and the world, inspiring us to move beyond mere attendance to true belonging and active participation in God's mission. Read More
