What is the gospel—really? Could you clearly explain it if someone asked you today?

In this message, we examine why the gospel is the unchanging foundation of the church and why it remains of first importance for every believer.

Key Takeaways:

• The gospel is received—not created or culturally adjusted
• The message of Christ crucified and risen is inherently offensive to human pride
• The gospel is of first importance, not one doctrine among many
• We never “move past” the gospel—it fuels sanctification and maturity
• The gospel is the foundation of unity in the church
• The gospel anchors us in suffering
• The gospel must be proclaimed—inside and outside the church

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:1–5; Romans 1:16; Galatians 1

What happens when you run from God—and finally run out of options?

In Jonah 2, we find the prophet at rock bottom—literally. Swallowed by a great fish and sinking in the depths, Jonah prays for the first time in the story. But this isn’t just a survival story. It’s a story about mercy, repentance, and the idols that quietly turn our hearts away from God.

In this message from Missions Pastor Chad Mason, we explore:

Why Jonah’s descent mirrors so many epic stories—and why his story is different

How the fish is not punishment, but mercy

What it means to cling to “worthless idols”

The difference between feeling sorry and true repentance

Why community is essential for lasting spiritual change

Jonah’s words remind us: “Salvation comes from the Lord.” Even in rebellion. Even in darkness. Even when we don’t expect to survive.

Scripture: Jonah 2

What is the Word of God—Jesus or the Bible? The answer is bigger and better than we often realize.

In this message, we explore how God’s Word is first revealed in the person of Jesus Christ and faithfully testified to in the Scriptures. Rather than competing realities, Jesus and the Bible work together to shape, guide, and form the church.

Key Takeaways:

• God’s Word is ultimately a Person—Jesus Christ (John 1:1–14).
• The Bible is God-breathed and points us to Christ (2 Timothy 3:14–17).
• You can know the Scriptures and still miss Jesus (John 5:37–40).
• The written Word serves as the standard for discerning God’s voice.
• A healthy church must be devoted to both Christ and the Scriptures.

Scripture: John 1:1–14, 16–18; 2 Timothy 3:14–17; John 5:37–40
