Shifting our Attitude: Embracing Gratitude
Luke 17:11-19
To embrace stewardship as a lifestyle, we need to shift our attitude and this will require that we embrace gratitude.
Shift
God’s word doesn’t just call us to give some of what we have (our time, talent, and treasures) from time to time. It calls us to something deeper, to stewardship. True Biblical stewardship is understanding that all we have is a gift from God; therefo...

An Even Better Message - Jonah
Matthew 12:38-42
In the Book of Jonah, we consistently see God’s message of mercy and grace. Yet, as an OT book in Jonah we’re not able to see this message in its fullness; these things foreshadow a greater message to come! That greater message is Jesus, and Jesus himself noted that the story of Jonah pointed forward to Him.

Offensive Mercy and Grace
Jonah
Jonah 4:1-11
Jonah finally does as God commanded, yet he’s not happy about it. He finds God’s mercy and grace offensive, as people sometimes do. Jonah still thinks he knows better than God, as we also often do.

Changing Your Direction
Jonah
Jonah 3:1-10
Jonah wanted justice and judgment for Nineveh, but God desired mercy and grace. God wanted the lost people of Nineveh to find redemption.

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide - Jonah
Jonah 1:17, Chapter 2
In his distress and difficulty, Jonah cried out to God. When we find ourselves in spiritual distress and difficult circumstances, we need to surrender to God and seek His help humbly, transparently, and repentantly. When we do this, even though we do not deserve it, we will receive God’s mercy and grace.
Running from God (Jonah flees)
Jonah
2 Kings 14:25, Jonah Ch 1
Jonah disregarded God’s call and went his own way. We often choose our own agenda over God’s plan, yet amazingly, God still pursues us with mercy and grace even when we’re disobedient.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
