From Grumbling To Gratitude

Vision Church

25 June 2022

1 Thes 5:16-18; Phil 2:14-16 — In his Epistles, the Apostle Paul repeatedly instructs his readers to give thanks in all circumstances. Far easier said than done, this instruction could not be more relevant to us today: like the world around us, discontentment can easily become our default setting. But as believers, we ought to to be marked by a gratitude unaffected by circumstance, that we might ‘shine as lights in the world’ for Christ.

From Distraction to Devotion

Revelation 2:1-7 — In John’s vision of Christ, Jesus commends the church of Ephesus for its endurance, but calls it to repent for abandoning its ‘first love’. As Christians, we cannot afford to forsake our love for Christ. And in a restless world such as ours, it has never been more important (and challenging!) to put aside distraction that we might live in wholehearted devotion to Him.

The Saving, Sovereign, Sending God

Jonah 4:1-11 — In a surprising and confronting ending, the Lord’s sparing of Nineveh caused Jonah to become so angry that he wished for his own death. Full of twists and turns, Jonah’s account causes us to consider a God whose grace is greater than our failings; whose ways are much higher than ours; and who radically moves our hearts to contend for those around us: The Saving, Sovereign, Sending God.

Responding With Childlike Faith

Jonah 3:1-10 — At the second time of asking, Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to the great city of Nineveh, where his message was met with mass repentance. As it was for Jonah and the Ninevites, so it is for us: no one is beyond saving by the God of second chances. As we respond to Him with childlike faith, it is His nature to transform us by His glorious mercy and grace.

Amazing Grace

Vision Church

22 May 2022

Jonah 2:1-10 — Expecting to drown in the depths of the ocean, Jonah instead found himself in the stomach of a whale. And here, crying out to the Lord, Jonah’s heart was renewed from rebellion to repentance. While God’s provision of grace may not always look the way we expect, He is faithful. When we don’t deserve it, and could never earn it, we are transformed by God’s (truly) amazing grace.
