Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:11-16
Description: Jonah gives the pagan sailors a false impression of God and continues in his flight from God — even seeking his own death before repenting and obeying God’s command to go to his enemies. But God pursues Jonah with a storm. We find out in this passage that God is also pursuing the pagan sailors, and Jonah’s rebellion is what God uses to display His grace and mercy to them.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 1:4-10
Description: Jonah is on the run and running hard away from God. God calls him to Nineveh, and he heads in the opposite direction towards Tarshish. God pursues Jonah with a violent storm to wake Jonah from His sinful slumber. The storm shows us two things about God’s pursuit of man. The first is that it is great and the second is that it is gracious.
Jonah is on a ship with pagans representing many nations all serving the idols of their land. Jonah represents one type of person who flees in the path of the Pharisee while the pagan sailors represent another type of person who flees in the path of the Prodigal. In this story we see God pursuing both Pharisees and Prodigals, which is good news for us.

Key Text: Genesis 3
Description: God, the Master Builder, is a perfectionist. He entrusted man with the care of a garden of abundance. God’s one request gave man a chance to submit himself to his loving Creator, but, in fact, the future of all humanity took a terrible turn.

Preacher: Tony Freitas, missionary
Key Text: Luke 14:16-21
Description: Ten years, one ambitious vision: 100 million people touched with the gospel around the world. Those are the marching orders of Reach Global, the international arm of the Evangelical Free Church of America, which exists to multiply healthy churches among all people for the glory of God.
Today we are joined by Scandia Bible Church supported Reach Global Missionary, Tony Freitas — a man, together with his family, called by God to faithfully serve the people of Tanzania, Africa. They are living, as Tony says,
“…a life of serving the poorest of the poor. It’s a tough life but there is nothing that I could possibly imagine to be more fulfilling than serving the Lord! I am not a formal pastor and have not been to seminary, yet God has clearly called our family to serve Him in Africa to use the gifts that he has given each of us. As 1 Peter 4:10 states, ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms.’”
Holly, Tony, Lauren, and Devin Freitas

Key Text: Luke 2: 8-10
Description: Thousands of very nice people consider themselves Christians. When we examine Scripture carefully we find that there is much more to being a Christian than just praying and going to church.
