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 - August 30, 2026

Thanks for the Fleas

Psalm 22 opens with "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" — and somehow still finds its way to praise. Not despite the forsakenness, but from inside it. This sermon puts that psalm next to Corrie and Betsie ten Boom's story and asks what gratitude actually is when it's not optimism and it's not just obedience. Sometimes thanksgiving is resistance: a refusal to let suffering write the whole story.

Scripture References: Psalms 22:1-31
