One of Rev. Ron Bartlow’s favorite parts of the Jonah story is that when Jonah rejects God’s call, all for understandable reasons, he inadvertently converts the entire ship of sailors! I’ve often prayed in sanctuaries that God might work in the church like this, that if it not be because of me, it be despite me. The first half of the story shows God first calling and then protecting Jonah, even with his character flaws. Rev. Ron gives today’s sermon “Word, Wind, and Wave” from the story in Jonah 1:1-17 and 2:1-10.
