Through her own testimonies of loss, near-death experiences, and unanswered prayers, she shows us there is no depth too deep for God's love to find us, and no season of pain that disqualifies us from the calling He has for our lives.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES📖 - Jonah 1, verses 1 to 2📖 - Jonah 2, verses 1,2, 7📖 - Psalm 139 (paraphrased)📖 - Galatians 6, verse 17📖 - Esther 4, verse 16

In this message from our summer series through Jonah, we look at a prophet whose worship didn't match his actions, and ask what that reveals about us. Along the way, we tell a modern story of a son who ran from his father in shame, and land on the truest description of the whole Bible: a Father who loves us enough to wait for us.

Jonah's flight to Tarshish mirrors our own tendency to avoid what God is asking of us, yet grace meets us even in our resistance.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES📖 - Jonah 1, verses 1 to 6📖 - Jonah 4, verses 1 to 2📖 - Matthew 16, verses 24 to 25Series: Grace in the Deep EndSpeaker: Jenna H., Hatfield Site Pastor🔎 Discover More About JesusJesus said, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

3 Golden Questions

What if the life you're chasing isn't actually the one you were made for? In this message, we unpack three "golden questions" hiding inside two of the Bible's most challenging books, Colossians and Acts, and ask what it would look like to let them reshape how you pray, what you're living for, and who you're doing life with. This teaching walks through Colossians 2 and Acts 2 to show how the early church was marked by radical difference - not just different beliefs, but a different identity altogether. From there, we dig into three themes threaded through both books: prayer (including the story of the 1949 Hebrides Revival), purpose (living according to God's plan rather than your own), and people (why following Jesus was never meant to be a solo sport). Whether you're a longtime believer or just spiritually curious, this episode offers a practical, honest look at Christian community, identity, and purpose for young adults navigating faith today.

Rooted in Christ, Rooted Together | Verso Church | Yasmin M.

Colossians 4:7–18 closes Paul's letter with a long list of names, but each one carries a picture of what it means to be rooted together as a church. A strong root system needs every ordinary strand to play its part, roots that stay healthy must cross social boundaries to share what they have, and roots that intertwine can feel inconvenient, but they're exactly what keeps us from falling when the storm hits.We were never meant to grow alone. As Genesis 2:18 puts it, "it is not good for man to be alone," and Paul's own life, surrounded by co-workers, fellow prisoners and dear friends, shows what it looks like to be planted deep in community rather than isolated in self-sufficiency.00:00 Welcome / Intro03:00 Scripture reading (Colossians 4:7–18)06:46 Point 1 – A strong root system needs every ordinary strand10:32 Point 2 – Healthy roots cross social boundaries20:43 Point 3 – Intertwined roots keep us from falling27:06 Reflection & application28:36 Closing / invitation to prayery.
