Bitter Grace | Preparing For Change - Dom Ruso

The fourth part of our "Bitter Grace" series from November 13, 2016.

This Sunday, Dom showed us how at this point in the story Jonah is ready to obey God, yet something deeper is going on. We looked at how God's grace moves the people of Nineveh to change, and yet Jonah continues to struggle with bitterness and anger. Together we were challenged by the realization that an experience of God's grace doesn't automatically make a person gracious towards others.

Bitter Grace | What Are You Running From? - Dom Ruso

The intro to our "Bitter Grace" series from October 23, 2016.

This Sunday, Dom introduced us to the story of the prophet Jonah, an important story that can get lost somewhere as a fun story about the guy and the big fish. Yet Jesus himself points to Jonah as an essential story that reveals how "insiders" who seem committed to God can still have indifferent and hard hearts. Jonah's story has great wisdom for us today as we ask ourselves what we are running from.
