“Sanctified and Sent, Together”
I don’t often preach “Vision Casting” sermons…but this week’s sermon was an exception.

I pray that our congregation’s vision of God is magnified and that our motivation to be about His mission and align ourselves with His priorities is increased.
“Getting Compassion Right” (Jonah 4)
In finishing up our series on the book of Jonah, this sermon allowed me (and our congregation) to consider God’s compassion toward us and the compassion that we should have for fellow sinners still facing His justice. May God be glorified in all of His mercy and justice, drawn together for us in Christ!
