Jonah is a book about so much more, and as w...

Spry Church, This weekend we continue our series called "Unleashing Hope: Living in the Power of the Resurrection." Jesus says, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" (John 11:40) The resurrection of Jesus reunites people with God'sglory.
