Jonah: The Relentless Love of God

Everybody knows Jonah got swallowed by a fish. Fewer remember the fish is barely the point. We’ll take the whole book slowly and find a God whose love is relentless, the kind that chases a runaway prophet across the sea and keeps reaching the people he’d rather it skipped. Because Jonah doesn’t run for fear God will fail. He runs for fear God will love the wrong people, and love them anyway. Come find out how far that love is willing to go.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - February 22, 2026

Behind the Headlines

In this sermon on Luke 10, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we look past the headline moment on the side of the road and follow the story one step further. The Samaritan gets the man to safety, but the innkeeper is the one who keeps him alive through the night. Alongside the Wright brothers’ first flight and their sister Katharine’s unseen labor that made it possible, this message reframes what it means to make a difference. Change does not run on a few visible heroes. It runs on many people, each carrying a necessary part. The question is not whether you can be the hero. The question is what role is already yours to play.

Scripture References: Luke 10:25-2537
