Colossians 1:25-27 — Jesus entrusted Paul with the stewardship of a precious body of doctrine that he (Paul) called “the mystery.” So what was it? And why was it a mystery? …In this next study in Paul’s letter to the Colossians, we learn about the mystery and its significance for us today.

God Rescues Nineveh!

Jonah 3:3b-10 — “Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me….” The beating heart of the Book of Jonah is God’s gracious dealings with the people of Nineveh.

Not Running Away From God

Jonah 1:3-17 — Jonah foolishly tried to do the impossible, to run away from from God! …God could’ve rightfully given up on Jonah but He didn’t.
