The Holy Spirit is our Comforter

Mercy for my Enemies

What do you do when God shows mercy to someone you wouldn’t? As we close Modern Day Jonah, we arrive at one of the most surprising endings in Scripture — not a story about a city changed, but a prophet confronted by the mercy of God. Because God is always in the pursuit business. Always in the mercy business. Always in the renewal business. The hard question isn’t whether God will show mercy. The question is whether we’ll receive it… and extend it. What if the places God is calling you, the people around you, and even the parts of your own story you’d rather avoid… are actually where He wants to bring healing? Join us as we close the series and consider the question God asks Jonah: “Do you do well to be angry?”

The Time is Now

What if your rescue was only the beginning? Jonah’s story could have ended with grace in the fish. Instead, God spoke again: “The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time…” This week we look at the God who rescues, restores, and sends. Because the Gospel was never meant to stop with us. Your past doesn’t disqualify you. Your failures don’t remove your calling. We never outgrow our need for grace — we simply learn to carry it into more places. You are rescued to be a rescuer.

When Life Smells Like Fish

Have you ever felt completely qualified one moment… and completely unqualified the next? Jonah knew what it meant to hear God’s voice. He also knew what it meant to run from it. This week we continue our "Modern Day Jonah" series and step into one of the most honest moments in Scripture — the place where Jonah finally stops running, finds himself with nowhere left to look, and remembers the Lord. What happens when we find ourselves stuck? When our plans fail? When we realize we can’t rescue ourselves? Jonah discovers something we all need to hear: grace isn’t something we earn, negotiate, or deserve. It’s a gift. Join us as we explore what it means to stop striving, look toward the cross, and discover that salvation belongs to the Lord. Listen. Look. Then live.

Modern Day Jonah

Most of us know Jonah as the prophet who ran from God. But beneath the surface is a story about a man who struggled to trust God's heart—for others and for himself. The truth is, nobody is above running. We run from difficult conversations, difficult people, difficult callings, and sometimes from the very places where God wants to meet us. But when we run from God, we don't just leave behind our purpose—we leave behind the presence we were created for. Join us as we launch our new series, Modern Day Jonah, and discover how the story of Jonah ultimately points us to a better Prophet, a better Savior, and a God who never stops pursuing us. No matter how far you've run, His grace can still find you there.

Worship

We all worship something. The question isn't whether we're worshippers—it's whether we're giving our worship to someone truly worthy of it. As we conclude our 1 > 99 series, we'll explore how an encounter with the living God changes everything. When we see God for who He truly is, our minds are renewed, our hearts are transformed, our priorities shift, and our lives begin to tell a different story. Worship is more than singing songs on Sunday. It's surrender. It's trust. It's recognizing that we are not the hero of the story—Jesus is. Join us as we discover what happens when we stop asking God to fit into our plans and instead allow Him to reshape every part of our lives. #1GreaterThan99 #Worship #RefugeChurch #InOjaiAsItIsInHeaven
