What would you do if God asked for the one thing you couldn't imagine giving up? This Sunday, in our series The Genesis of Christmas, we step into one of the most unsettling, and hope-filled, stories in Scripture, Genesis 22.

Long before Bethlehem, God was writing the story of Christmas. In Genesis 12, Abraham trusted in the promises of God. What about us? Who will be blessed with Jesus because you chose to be faithful?

Jonah’s story ends in Nahum, where we see Nineveh judged a century after turning back to evil. Though judgment may sound harsh, it’s good news for those who trust in Jesus—it means evil will end, God’s people will be vindicated, and a new world will begin. Because of the cross, we can look forward to judgment without fear.
Teacher - Tom Harrigan
In Jonah 4, we find a prophet angry—not because God failed, but because God forgave. And if we’re honest, there are moments we feel the same—when God’s grace feels unfair, especially toward people who’ve hurt us. This chapter invites us to confront our anger and selfishness, and to rediscover the joy and freedom that comes when we surrender to God’s plans instead of clinging to our own.
Teacher - Tom Harrigan
Jonah got a second chance—and so did the people of Nineveh. Even though Jonah ran from God, God still used him to deliver a powerful message. The Ninevites listened, changed their ways, and experienced God’s mercy. It’s a reminder that God isn’t done with us—even when we’ve messed up.
Teacher - Tom Harrigan
When Jonah hit rock bottom, he discovered God’s mercy still met him there. In the belly of a fish and the weight of his own failure, Jonah looked up in desperation, not knowing if God would respond. This reminds us even when we’ve run far, messed up big, or feel completely alone—God is still just one prayer away, offering grace, rescue, and another chance.
Teacher - Tom Harrigan
We all run from something—conflict, responsibility, conviction—but Jonah ran from God. Faced with fear, anger, or pride, we can find ourselves headed in the opposite direction of where God is calling us. But even in our rebellion, God pursues us with mercy, not to punish, but to invite back to Him.
Teacher - Tom Harrigan

If we can get clear up front on what Revelation is and how it works, we’ll be far less likely to get flustered as we read. The book opens by telling us four things about itself. Revelation is an apocalypse, a testimony, a prophecy, and a letter. We can summarize its purpose like this: By intentionally unmasking spiritual realities [apocalypse], Revelation encourages first-century Christians [letter] to remain faithful in the face of persecution [testimony] with a message of impending judgment and hope [prophecy].
