Jonah could not escape his own prejudice toward the Ninevites. Or one other way – as one of the core truths of Scripture reminds us that we too are prone to wander, prone to leave the God we love. We are the runaways. Pastor Howard continues our Runaway series on Jonah with Jonah chapter 2. 

This week Pastor Howard Moths brings us his sermon from Matthew 21:1-11. Sometimes the best prayer is most simple one, like the thief on the cross: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” (Luke 23:42) Recall your story; Realign your faith, Renew your commitment, or confess your faith for the first time, like the thief on the cross. 

Retired Florida professor Marvin Dunn has been dismayed at recent efforts to battle so-called critical race theory and limit the way educators can talk about race. Last year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the Stop WOKE Act, which mandated that public schools teach race in a manner where students would not “feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress for actions, in which he or she played no part.”

Like many educators, Dr. Dunn feared this would create an environment where teaching hard truths about history is discouraged. He decided to start the Teach the Truth tour.

This week, Trymaine Lee hops on the tour bus with Into America to speak with Dr. Dunn and students about what’s at stake when it comes to learning the truth about American history. They visit historic sites related to the Ocoee Massacre, the lynching of Willie James Howard, and the Black town of Rosewood, which was destroyed a hundred years ago by a white mob.

On January 1, 1923, dubious claims of a sexual assault from a white woman against an unidentified Black man in the small community of Rosewood between Gainesville and Cedar Key set off a sequence of events that would leave untold numbers of people killed and Rosewood burned to the ground.
The event was completely forgotten and erased, except by those who experienced it and lingering myths and rumors in the area.
Then Gary Moore visited in 1982, completely unaware of what had happened there, stumbled on the story, and began reporting for the St. Petersburg Times, reporting which eventually led to his book, "Rosewood: The Full Story."

Today Pastor Dan Eisnor brings us his message, "Forgiveness and Math", from Luke 15:11-32 the story of the prodigal son.

Pastor Austin brings us his message of grace from Lamentations chapter 5. The testimony of God through the hardships of Jeremiah and God’s people in Lamentation is that pain and difficulty will come, and when it does we should lament and not remain silent before the Lord.

Pastor Howard brings us his message from Lamentations 3. God has been faithful in the past, God is faithful in the present and God will continue to be faithful till the end of world. So when you are ready to collapse, Lament, Repent, Remember, and Wait

This morning Pastor Austin continues in Lamentation with his series "Collapse". God is good to forgive, but true repentance means also changing our ways. And repentance, like hydrogen peroxide on a wound, can hurt. But it’s necessary to escape the cycle of sin that keeps you captive.

This week Pastor Austin starts his new series on Lamentations called Collapse. God’s love cannot be contained or controlled, either. Meaning that in the uncontainable, uncontrollable mystery of God, there is a love, mercy, goodness, and grace that is so great it also cannot be contained or controlled.

 Pastor Austin delivers a bonus sermon from his Summer Acts series. He finishes the outcome of the council at Jerusalem from Acts 15. What if we valued being right with one another over being right? Might that in fact draw us closer to the call of the church to be a witness of God’s love and grace

Pastor Austin finishes our Summer series on Acts with his sermon "Grace on the Line". Acts 15 is the affirmation and confirmation that holiness is the result of salvation, not the way to salvation. If tradition impedes this, then there’s a problem. So also, if innovation impedes this, we have a problem. Because We should not make it difficult for Gentiles who are turning to God.” (Acts 15:19).

Pastor Austin continues in Acts focusing on chapter 14. In his message "Failure?" he reminds us that as Christians no matter the unmet expectation we face. No matter the outcome of faithfulness. No matter whether we are on the mountaintop or the valley, we know how the story ends. 

Pastor Austin continues in Acts referring to chapters 13 and 17. He leaves us with this question: How would you talk about Jesus without quoting the Bible?

 We welcomed guest Pastor Jack Doorlag this week. He continues the series in Acts with chapter 10. Whenever we feel inadequate, God is more than adequate.

Pastor Austin continues in Acts with his sermon "Finding Philip". The Bible should be savored together. Don’t limit yourself to solo reading because your interpretation will be confined by the limits of your own experience.

 Pastor Austin continues in Acts focusing on chapter 7 and the story of Stephen. The beautiful thing about God is that even as the story progresses, he never changes.
