A Tale of Two Temples (Ephesians 2:18-22) - One Off Messages (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Message from Rich Lee on September 6, 2026
Jonah: Reloaded (John 21) - Jonah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three denials. Three questions. But Jesus doesn’t ask Peter to try harder—he asks, “Do you love me?” Jonah obeyed with a resentful heart. Peter failed with a fearful one. Yet God’s mission moves through both. Jesus isn’t looking for flawless people; he restores hearts and sends them back out: “Feed my sheep.” The mission belongs to people who have tasted grace and now carry that grace to others—loving what Jesus loves and faithfully feeding his people with the gospel.
Jonah: Do You Do Well To Be Angry? (Jonah 4) - Jonah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonah 4 exposes the heart of the whole story: Jonah wants mercy for himself but justice for his enemies. His anger and bitterness reveal that he knows God’s character, but doesn’t trust God’s mercy when it reaches people he believes don’t deserve it.

Read excerpt
Jonah 3 is a story about second chances, reluctant obedience, and what it really means to know God. Jonah knew a lot about God, but his heart still didn’t reflect God’s heart.

And ultimately, Jonah points us to Jesus—the greater Jonah—who didn’t run from sinners, but gave himself to save them.
Jonah: Running Into Mercy (Jonah 1) - Jonah (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peter tells us to cast our anxieties on God because he cares for us. Anxiety often exposes our desire for control—the belief that we know better than God. Jonah shows where that belief leads. He ran because he knew God was merciful, and he did not want mercy for Nineveh. But God pursued Jonah through the storm. What looked like judgment was actually mercy, because sin always takes us down. Jesus is the better Jonah. Jonah went into the sea for his own sin, but Jesus took the judgment for ours. T
