Ever feel like you could just sail away from your problems — or from God Himself? Jonah didn't just turn down a job assignment. He tried to put an ocean between himself and the very Source of his life, running from a calling that didn't fit his comfort or his prejudice. In this first message from the "Relentless Love" series, Pastor Ben Kuerth opens Jonah 1:1-17 to show us a God who is far too loving to let us go — even when we run. Sometimes He allows a "storm" in our lives, not to punish us, but to rescue us from ourselves and bring us back to His mercy. Because here's the truth Jonah discovered the hard way: you cannot outrun a God who is everywhere, and you cannot outlast a love that will not quit. Wherever you're running today — from a calling, a conviction, or a community — His relentless love is already in the boat with you. 📖 Primary Scripture: Jonah 1:1-17 📖 Supporting Text: Psalm 139:1-12 | Romans 3:9-20 📅 Series: Relentless Love

What do you do when life makes you doubt God's love? Suffering. Injustice. Personal pain. These things can shake even the most faithful believer. If God is love — why does it feel this way? In this message from the "Branches" series, Pastor Ben Kuerth opens 1 John 4:13-21 to show us that God's love is not a sentiment — it is action. Demonstrated supremely in the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the Savior of the world. And here's the power of that truth: perfect love drives out fear. The fear of judgment. The fear of not being enough. The fear that God has given up on you. All of it — cast out by the love of a God who proved His love at the cross. Because of Jesus, you can stand before God with real, unshakeable confidence. Not because you love perfectly, but because He does. And when that love fills you, it overflows into how you love others — becoming a living testimony of His grace, leading those around you from fear into faith.

What does it look like to love the way Jesus loves? Not just words. Not just feelings. But real, sacrificial, costly love. In this message from the "Branches" series, Pastor Ben Kuerth opens 1 John 3:16-24 to show us that agape love — the selfless, self-giving love modeled by Jesus — isn't a feeling. It's a choice. And it's made possible through Christ's resurrection. Jesus laid down His life for us. That's the standard. And by His Spirit, we are empowered to love each other with that same kind of radical, tangible love. That means showing up. Giving generously. Being present even when it's inconvenient. And here's the grace-filled truth: even when your heart condemns you, God is greater. His love secures your identity. You are His child — not because you love perfectly, but because He loves you perfectly. Bear real love. Start today.
