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 - March 1, 2026

The Better Part

Jesus seems to pick a side in the Mary and Martha story — and it's the one who's just sitting there. That doesn't sit well with a lot of us, especially in progressive churches where doing the work of justice is basically a sacrament. But what if Jesus isn't actually ranking contemplation over service? What if the real issue isn't what Martha is doing, but the resentment and scorekeeping underneath it? In this sermon, we take an honest poll, name a real tension, and look at what it means to ground whatever we do — serving, praying, showing up — in love rather than something else.

Scripture References: Luke 10:38-42
