What if God’s Grace makes you angry?
What if God, by the demonstration of His kindness and mercy, shows someone grace that you or I think are not deserving? How do we respond to that?
How do we ask for God’s grace for people we hate? That’s at the crux of Jonah’s complaint. Michael teaches through the book of Jonah.
Michael teaches through Psalm 40 the way through our present troubles is found in looking to God’s faithfulness in our past. This sermon was originally recorded at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, TX in 2011.
Nahum delivered a potent decree of God’s judgment in three short chapters. His message is clear: God is indeed a God of wrath.

Join us as we explore this very idea.
Michael teaches an overview of the book of Jonah. Well known and widely regarded as a children’s story or a “whale’s tale,” this is a text many of us ought to look at with fresh eyes. It is the living word of God.
Michael teaches through the book named for the prophet Ezekiel. Join us as we look at what his visions reveal to us about God’s judgment, righteousness, and mercy.
Michael teaches an overview of the book of Lamentations. A mournful post-script to the longest book of the Bible (Jeremiah), Lamentations serves a sure and certain warning. As God’s people grieve the loss of the Tabernacle, heaven remains silent.
What does this tell us about who God is? How should we read and respond to this difficult text?
The encouragement found in the sorrowful prose of this book may surprise you–and even offer hope: God’s lovingkindness never ceases.
