Your life isn’t defined by what’s been done to you, but by how you choose to respond—especially when every instinct says to react.

Through God’s patient dialogue with Jonah and the lesson of the plant, we see that God’s heart is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love—not just for us, but for everyone, even our enemies. The challenge for us is clear: to not only embrace God’s grace but also extend it—reflecting His heart toward others the same way He has shown it to us.

Through Jonah’s obedience and Nineveh’s repentance, this sermon highlights three core truths: God can use anyone, God can save anyone, and God’s grace is for everyone.

Ever felt stuck, lost, or way off track? Jonah did—deep in the belly of a fish. But from that dark place, he prayed. This week, we explore Jonah 2 to discover how prayer, praise, and repentance can lead us back when life takes us off course. Don’t miss it!

Jonah isn’t about a fish—it’s about a God who calls broken people to hard things. This sermon dives into Jonah 1, confronting our avoidance, disobedience, and pride. What if the thing you’re running from is the very thing God wants to use to transform you?

Andy Stanley’s conversation with Bruce Deel highlights the inspiring work of City of Refuge, a Be Rich partner dedicated to moving people from crisis to independence.

Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.

Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God’s “ideal.”

People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it’s usually for an unnecessary reason.

We don’t miss out in life because opportunities aren’t there—we miss out because we let deception, distraction, or disobedience rob us of them.

The early church had no resources, yet changed the world through bold faith. In week 1 of Marked, we explore how courage, not comfort, marked their witness. What if we prayed, God, make me bold? Discover how boldness opens doors for others to encounter Jesus.

When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.

Whatever picture we have of God isn’t enough.

When we see God for who he is, we’re able to trust him even deeper.

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we’re truly depending on.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what’s going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what’s going on in us.

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

We can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally.

When our faith means that we believe something but don't allow it to prompt action, we're missing out on what a relationship with Jesus can do for us, and for others.

God gave us some powerful tools to help us build our faith, including music. The songs we sing shape the lives we live.

The Bible is full of helpful wisdom for our lives, but for many of us, it can feel hard to understand or difficult to create the habit of reading scripture. But the Bible is much more than informational; it's transformational.

God doesn’t size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.
