happening this week
Since we've been in a series called Minor League we thought it would be fun to go check out a minor league game together! Join us for a night at the ballpark on July 22nd.
Join us on July 26th as we have a special combined 10am service at our CE campus, and regular 9:30 & 11:00 services at our FB campus. Then stay for some fun water activities and fellowship! Be sure to bring a towel and change of clothes!
Our Kidzu ministry is amazing! If you would like to be a part of pouring into the next generation, we would love to connect with you!

Scripture (ESV):

Jonah 4:1
Matthew 12:38-41
Teaching Notes:
- You can run from God but you can't outrun God's grace
- God's detours often direct us to God's destinations
- Sometimes God's destination isn't the destination we would choose.
Reflection Questions:
1. Where in your life do you find yourself running from God instead of running toward Him? What is the “Tarshish” you are tempted to choose instead of following God’s direction?
2. What fears are distracting you from fully trusting and obeying God right now? How can you grow your faith in this season?
3. What disappointment or difficult circumstance is God using to shape you? How can you reframe your current challenges to see them as opportunities to grow?
4. God’s destination for Jonah was different from Jonah’s preferred destination. Are there areas where you are asking God to bless your plans instead of surrendering to His plans? What would surrender look like?
5. Who is someone you find difficult to show compassion or forgiveness toward? How might God be inviting you to see them differently?
