Lake Chapala Baptist
In the Bible, Jonah’s story shows God’s sovereign, redemptive hand in every detail. When Jonah fled, God intervened—not to punish, but to restore. A storm and a great fish preserved him; Nineveh’s repentance revealed God’s mercy for even the unlikely. Jonah’s anger met God’s gentle correction, exposing a heart still in need of transformation. The Ninevites, spiritually blind, were still within God’s compassionate reach. Through it all, we see a God who lovingly pursues, teaches, and restores. His mercy still calls today—inviting all, no matter how far they’ve run, to return, repent, and follow Him.

Lakeside Presbyterian
Sunday, July 27, the sermon will be “How to Enter God’s Rest,” from Hebrews 3:1-14:13.
In this week’s sermon, we’re continuing our journey through Hebrews and the spotlight turns to Moses. Why compare Jesus to Moses? And what does that have to do with us today? The truth is, many of us are still looking for peace, for security, for rest. The writer of Hebrews shows us how Jesus offers something far greater than even the most revered figure of the past. This isn’t just theology—it’s an invitation to deeper faith and soul-deep rest.
English language service begins at 10 a.m. at Constitución 26, in Ajijic, 2nd floor. Enter through the back garage area and walk upstairs. For those with limited mobility, there’s also a small lift at the front.
