• Sep 10, 2023

Speaker: Pastor Kristin Skare

Jonah and the Big Whale is a beloved Old Testament story many of us learned in Sunday School, but this story isn't just for kids. Jonah challenges us to look at our journey of finding life's purpose. We begin our series exploring the human condition to run from God's calling and how this can prevent us from experiencing God's plan for our lives. From here, we learn to embrace our identity, surrender our will to God, answer God's call, and live out our purpose. Together, we will better understand our unique role in God's mission and feel equipped to pursue our calling with confidence and joy. For Today: Often, we run from what we know is our calling because it seems too difficult or uncomfortable. However, when we avoid our true vocation, we miss out on God's plan for our lives and the abiding joy that comes with it.
