Grace Ain't Fair! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part 3 of 4 part series,Tough Lovin’ “God’s outrageous, upside-down grace often offends our human sense of fairness.” Jonah 3:10–4:11 & Matthew 20:1–16 What happens when God is more generous than we think people deserve? Jonah is furious when God spares Nineveh, while Jesus tells a story about workers who receive the same wage despite working vastly different hours.

Read excerpt
Part 3 of 3 part series on keeping the Sabbath. Deuteronomy 15:1-2, 7-11 & Luke 15:11-32 God’s vision for Sabbath has always reached beyond personal relaxation. Every seventh year Israel was called to release debts and care generously for those in need.
