Jonah 3:10-4:11 - Grace Is Not Fair (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some things you would never say out loud. You'd never admit you hate the grace of God. Jonah never said it either, but it was buried in his heart all the same. In this sermon on Jonah 3-4, we look at why grace can feel so unfair. We walk through three stories: the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20), the Prodigal Son and his older brother (Luke 15), and Jonah's anger when Nineveh repented. Each shows how self-righteousness and unforgiveness make us resent grace for other people. But there's goo
Ephesians 4:29-5:2 - Grace Words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On average, we speak about 16,000 words a day. What would happen if you got a report at the end of each day breaking down exactly what your words accomplished — how much built people up, and how much tore them down? In this episode, we dig into Ephesians 4:29–32 and Paul's command to get rid of "unwholesome talk" — literally, rotten or spoiled speech. We trace that rotten speech back to its root: a heart marked by bitterness, rage, anger, and malice, and why Paul says this kind of speech grieves
Matthew 18:15-21 - How to Love a Sinner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What's your process? We all have one — an order to how we get things done, even if we've never written it down. In today's Gospel lesson, Jesus outlines a process too for how to love a brother or sister caught in sin. Vicar Little walks through Matthew 18:15–20, showing how this passage sits between two crucial ideas: the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to rescue the 1, and Jesus's command to forgive not seven times, but seventy-seven times. In the middle sits this process — not a formula for co
Jeremiah 15:15-21 - Expectations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We all carry expectations of God, and if we're honest, they're often more transactional than we realize: I've done my part, so where's my reward? In Jeremiah 15:15-21, the prophet accuses God of being a "deceptive brook" — a spring that failed him after years of faithful, costly obedience. It's a raw complaint, and a mirror for our own hearts. In this message, we trace why God doesn't answer Jeremiah's accusation with an explanation but with a call to repentance and a promise of restoration — a
Luke 10:25-37 - What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have to attempt to justify yourself, you probably already know that you are lacking in some way. An expert in the law came to Jesus with a question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" To which Jesus turned the question around on him, "What does the law say?" But after this expert repeated the two-part summary of the law (love God and love your neighbor), something in him knew that he was lacking. So, he asked, "And who is my neighbor?" What follows is one of the most well-known par
