Have you ever felt like you’re beyond hope due to a past failure in your life? Well, you’re not alone! Today’s message, “A Message and a Messenger”, is a great lesson on how God takes our weaknesses and failures and actually makes them part of His message of hope and deliverance for others! All it takes is a few good, humble choices.

We don’t want to waste anything. Isn’t that an interesting way to look at life, especially when life isn’t going as we expected? In today’s fourth message from his Jonah series, Pastor Ben looks at how God uses difficult situations in our lives to make us more like Jesus. He calls his message, “Refinement in Confinement.” If you’re feeling a bit confined these days, this is a great word for you!

It’s not too late. That’s the name of the next message in Pastor Ben’s series in the book of Jonah. It’s not to late for what? For us to turn away from things that keep us from God and turn towards Him! It’s a great reminder that God’s always ready to pour His mercy upon us and everyone, as we turn our hearts towards Him.

God is everywhere and He knows everything. Today Pastor Ben continues his Jonah series and shares how it was impossible for Jonah to run away from God. And when he tries, there are great consequences, not only for him, but for the people all around him. We’re probably familiar with the story, but have we, like Jonah, fallen asleep? Do we need to wake up to the things God is calling us to?

All throughout Scripture we read about times in history where God’s people united together in prayer and fasting. We believe that this is such a time in 2020, so we are calling the body of Christ to press into God through prayer fasting during the month of August. As we seek God together in this way we expect that He will speak to us and move powerfully in our hearts and homes (Hebrews 11:6). If NWC is your church home we are asking you and your families to participate in this fast, and we encourage you to prepare your heart for how you will seek God during this time.

What comes to mind when you consider the familiar stories from the book of Jonah? Have you ever considered what its message is to the church in these current times? Today, Pastor Ben takes us to a great place to find answers. Let’s see what Jesus has to say about Jonah that helps us understand its implications in our world.

Evangelism doesn’t have to be a difficult, awkward conversation. It can be as natural and organic as being generous and kind By having a genuine interest in your neighbor, co-worker, the sales clerk. Today, as Pastor Ben concludes his series, “Evangelism is for Everyone,” he’ll share some practical ways to build relationships with people.

For the past few weeks, Pastor Ben has shared about the motive and message of sharing Jesus with others. Today he builds on this important foundation and begins to share the power-filled methods. Stay tuned for his message, “Power Evangelism”, for some great ideas and examples of how to share your faith.

Some statistics show that close to 90 percent of Christians have never led someone to Christ? That is a huge number!  Today Pastor Ben will answer all sorts of questions about leading people to Christ in this third part of his series, “Evangelism is for Everyone.” Why should we tell others, when and where should it happen, how does it happen? If you’re part of that 90%, this message is an invitation for you to receive a genuine passion for others.

As we study chapter 4 today, we come full circle and realize that this book is not just about the repentance of the people who are preached to, but rather the prophet who does the preaching. Unlike any other prophetic book, we get a window into the soul of a person who is nothing like the God that he serves. As we will see today, Jonah was not merely running from the call of God, but he was running from the heart of God.
