    Jonah 4 | When Life Doesn't Go How You Planned It

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | February 2, 2026 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY Jonah 4 shows what happens when life doesn’t go the way we planned and our hearts react poorly to God’s grace. After Nineveh repents and God spares the city, Jonah’s own plans “fail,” and he responds with what the sermon called the three Ps. First, Jonah becomes perturbed—angry and offended that God would show mercy, reminding us that human anger does not produce God’s righteousness (James 1:20). Second, Jonah turns to prayer, but his prayer is more complaint than repentance, revealing how easily we can justify ourselves instead of humbling our hearts before the Lord (Joel 2:12–14). Third, Jonah pouts, sitting outside the city, hoping for judgment, while God uses a plant as an object lesson to expose Jonah’s misplaced compassion and selfish priorities, much like Nathan’s story to David or Elijah’s despair in the wilderness. Through Jonah’s stubbornness, God patiently pursues His prophet, teaching that His mercy is wider than our comfort. The chapter leaves us with lasting lessons: to have ears to hear God’s correction, to trust that God lovingly pursues His people, to take Jonah’s story as a warning against hard-heartedness, and to remember we cannot fix our hearts on our own. Jonah sat outside the city longing for condemnation, but Jesus went outside the city to die for salvation, showing that only the gospel of grace can make sinful people fully accepted and joyfully secure in God’s love. *Unfortunately part of the sermon was not recorded at the beginning. We apologize for the error. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.

    Jonah 3 | The Marks of Revival

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | January 18, 2026 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY On January 18, 2026, Pastor John preached from Jonah 3, highlighting “The Marks of Revival” by showing how God graciously gives second chances and looks not at outward appearances but at the heart. As Jonah obeyed God’s renewed call, the people of Nineveh experienced true revival marked by three clear responses: illumination as God opened their hearts to understand the truth, sorrow and conviction expressed through fasting, sackcloth, and ashes, and genuine repentance that led to changed lives and God’s mercy. Pastor John reminded the church that repentance is a biblical and necessary message, that it is never too late to turn back to God, and that believers should practice regular repentance as part of daily faith. He emphasized that repentance must always be connected to Christ, who is greater than Jonah, and called the church to remain available for God’s mission and to never give up on people, trusting that God can bring revival even in the most unlikely hearts. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.

    Jonah 2 | When You Finally Hit Bottom

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | January 11, 2026 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY In Jonah 2, Pastor John reminds us that when we finally hit bottom, God often meets us there with mercy. Jonah’s prayer from inside the fish is shaped like a psalm, echoing Israel’s worship language and showing that even in desperation he turns to Scripture to cry out to God. The prayer reaches a decisive turning point when Jonah descends “all the way down” in utter helplessness and then experiences God bringing him back up, illustrating that true dependence on God often comes only when our own resources are exhausted. Yet Jonah’s prayer also reveals a problem—its heavy focus on “I” exposes lingering self-centeredness and a heart not fully aligned with God’s compassion, especially when contrasted with the sailors’ response. Still, Jonah arrives at the right conclusion: “Salvation belongs to the Lord,” pointing beyond himself to God’s sovereign grace and ultimately to Jesus, the greater “sign of Jonah,” who brings salvation through death and resurrection for all who cry out to Him. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.

    Jonah 1 | Where Are You Running?

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | January 4, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY Pastor John begins the series on the book of Jonah. In Jonah chapter 1, Pastor John reminds us that the gospel confronts the places we run and reveals the mercy that relentlessly runs after us. Jonah’s flight from God shows how easily our hearts resist God’s presence and purpose, yet the storm at sea is not punishment but a pursuit of mercy, as God lovingly chases His prophet. Through sacrifice, sin is addressed, and through rescue, God demonstrates His power to save, pointing to a central theme of Scripture: God is sovereign and gracious. The passage calls us to examine where we may be running from God, to listen attentively to His Word, to recognize mercy even in tragedy, to trust His constant presence, to align ourselves with His mission, and ultimately to let God be God in every area of our lives. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.

    Matthew 1:18-25 | Anticipating God Showing Up in your Life

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | December 21, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY Pastor John explores how to live with expectation by anticipating God showing up in our lives each day. Drawing from Matthew 1:18–25, we saw that Mary and Joseph were attentive and open to hearing from God, reminding us that prayer—modeled for us in the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13)—positions our hearts to listen. We were challenged to watch for the signs of God at work, as the Magi did when they followed what God revealed to them (Matthew 2:1–6). The sermon emphasized the importance of knowing God’s Word, showing how Jesus fulfills God’s promises through the lineage of Abraham and David (Isaiah 7:14; Genesis 12:1–3; Ezekiel 34:23–24; Matthew 1:1, 17). Finally, we were encouraged to believe that God desires to work through each of us, using ordinary, faithful people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.

    Philippians 4:14-23 | Maximizing Joy

    Send us a text Sunday Morning | December 14, 2025 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY ***During the sermon, the fire alarm sounded, and out of an abundance of caution the congregation exited the building. Thankfully, it was a false alarm and there was no danger. We apologize that we were unable to finish the sermon and appreciate your understanding. *** In Philippians 4:14–23, Paul teaches that lasting joy is maximized when believers align their lives with the priorities of the gospel. Joy grows as we share in the work of the gospel, partnering faithfully from the beginning as the Philippians did in supporting Paul’s ministry (vv. 14–16). It deepens when our hearts are motivated by the growth of others rather than personal gain, seeking fruit that increases to their account (v. 17). True joy is sustained when we trust God as the ultimate source of our needs, offering our lives as pleasing sacrifices and recognizing that God often answers our prayers by changing us to become part of the answer (vv. 18–20). Finally, joy is strengthened when we remember we are not alone—we belong to a grace-filled community grounded in the self-giving love of Christ demonstrated on the cross. As Philippians begins and ends with grace, so the Christian life is framed by God’s gracious presence, empowering joyful generosity, faithful partnership, and enduring hope. You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship. We are located at 8911 3rd Street Road, Louisville KY 40272.
