Jonah

I had the opportunity to preach for a dear colleague in July at First United Methodist Church, The Coppertop, in Duluth, MN. This church has spent the summer focusing on “spiritual mentors” in the Bible. Immediately, I thought of Jonah. I love this short book (only 4 chapters!) in the Old Testament. There is much more to the story than the children’s picture books give it credit. If you’d like to watch the sermon, you can do that here. The sermon starts just after minute 36, but there is great music and a baptism before.
