This week we continued a teaching series focused on unwrapping the deeper
meaning of the Christmas story.
Dom showed us how Christmas will inevitably disturb comfort and control in our lives. Together we looked at how King Herod's upset reaction to news about the new king of the Jews can very easily be our same reaction today if we refuse to see how Jesus is our true gift of hope this Christmas.

This week we began a new teaching series focused on unwrapping the deeper
meaning of the Christmas story.
Dom showed us how many of us will be tempted to rush ahead to Christmas celebrations and parties and miss the important lessons God is teaching his people in the period of Advent, which leads up to Christmas. Take a listen to how the gift of faith can easily be built on fear rather than trust, and accept the invitation of John 3:16 to know that God so loved the world that he sent his son.

Our Wrap Up Sunday helped us bring a close to the story of Jonah. As part of our learning we looked at how Jesus points to Jonah to try to correct misguided ideas about God.

The final part of our "Bitter Grace" series from November 20, 2016.
This Sunday, Jean walked with us through the fourth and final chapter of the book of Jonah, showing us the power of anger, the place of discipleship and the practice of God's call in our lives. Jonah refuses to be like God and show compassion to the Ninevites but God hangs in there and keeps the conversation going. The books ends without a climax, and yet with a sense that God will overcome Jonah's resistance and that he will in fact become the God-like man he was intended to be.
