Oct. 26/27: A Big Message to a Big City

10/29/19 • 23 min

This time Jonah seems more prepared to do as he is told. But, just as he knew, his message is well-received.
When God calls us to seek forgiveness, we can be angry at being called on our sin, or fatalistic and ignore the offer of grace, or we can respond.
Readings from this service:
Jonah 2: 10–3:5
Psalm 65: 5-8
Mark 1: 14-15

Oct. 19/20: Prayer from the Jaws of Death

Often prayer becomes more fervent when our life is in danger. The more we have lost, the easier it becomes to put our hope in God.
Jesus clearly sees parallels with the fish and his resurrection. He, his experience, his message and his call are greater than Jonah's yet we still resist forgiveness.
Readings from this service:
Jonah 1: 17–2:10
Psalm 139: 9-12
Matthew 12: 38-41

Nov. 2/3: Repent!

Grace just outrages us sometimes. From a human perspective it seems unfair and we like (other) people to get what they deserve. Jonah echoes the psalm, knowing that God forgives, perhaps also, like the psalm, he was looking for some justice too.
Readings from this service:
Jonah 3: 6-10
Psalm 103: 8-10
Matthew 3: 1-8
