God is always working in all times and seasons. And though we may wonder about His purpose in certain circumstances, we can trust that they are always ultimately for His glory and our good, even when that is hard to understand or believe. This is what we'll learn about in this weekend's lesson covering 2 Chronicles 36.

The prophet Nahum sought to wake up the people to turn from their wicked ways, and warned of a coming judgment and devastation as a consequence of the people's sins. Through Nahum, God told the people of the urgency to listen to these warnings and to turn to Him for hope, joy, and peace that can only be found by His grace.

The Book of Jonah demonstrates the mercy and grace of God. This grace and mercy is shown to Jonah, but also to a group of people who didn't have a relationship with God. Even though punishment was due, God relented and chose to save. We also may think we are too distant or too far gone to be accepted by God, but He is always there, ready to receive and love those who turn to Him.

This first weekend in August is our first weekend open for Saturday night service (ages 3 through 5th grade!) On Sunday, the nursery will be learning about how God made us all uniquely and wonderfully, ages 3 through 4th grade will be going over the first of the 5 Gs of DBCC, and our 2nd service 5th graders will be continuing their lesson on Truth from last week! Our video will go live Sunday at 8am.
