Episodes of GraceWisdomToday we look at James 3:12-18 and the differences between human wisdom and Godly wisdom. There is no denying how attractive the promises of human wisdom are, but there is also no denying the harm it causes.

Episodes of GraceThe TongueThis time, on Episodes of Grace, we look at the tongue and the words we use.
Words are a powerful force. Words have started wars and yet ended them also. Words led nations to genocide and offered safety to the oppressed. Words inspire, instruct, and encourage. Words can belittle, demean, and put down. Words can convey our deepest emotions of love and joy anger and hatred. Words are powerful, which is why we must take great care in how we use them.

Episodes of GraceChangeAfter an intense journey Jonah finally arrives in Nineveh to deliver God's message. Well, Jonah's version of God's message that is. Nineveh responds and repents immediately, and God changes God's mind. The main question for us is: How do we let go?

Episodes of GraceFishy GraceGrace does not always show up in the ways that we might expect or even like. Grace may at first even terrify us as it calls us to change the way we live our lives, and the way look at the world around us. Jonah was certainly in for quite the surprise when he was swallowed and vomited by a giant fish, and yet God was working to save Jonah, and Nineveh, from themselves.
Be on the lookout for giant fish.

Episodes of GraceYou Can Run...Today we look at Jonah 1:4-16. We are looking at Jonah's decsion to flee, and the consequences of that choice. Jonah's choices impacted not just him but everyone else on the that boat, and even out on the sea. Jonah put others at risk because he wanted to avoid an argument or a conflict with God. The questions for us are where do we try to flee to, and much like Jonah, how do our choices impact others.
Dont forget to engage in the Q&A in Spotify.
