On a rather wet Sunday, we gathered together for a lovely time of worship. While there are many concerns within the community, we were also able to bring some joy and warmth of spirit to the day. In particular, being that it was Veteran's Day, we were able to recognize many within our family of faith who have served in the military. It was especially nice that Fred joined us with his trumpet to play Reveille and Taps.
The sermon continued our series "Jonah: Lone Wolf Prophet of God," by focusing on what happened after Jonah was spit out of the belly of the great sea beast. In "How Far Is Far Enough?" we watched Jonah tentatively follow God's command to share a specific message with the city of Nineveh. Despite Jonah's rather lackluster performance, the people of the city heard God's message and dramatically changed their ways. This offers a stark contrast between God's prophet, who is trying to avoid doing what God wants, and the wicked non-believers, who go overboard in trying to please God.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with someone else, you can listen to an audio recording here.
