Bad Calls - When Jonah is sent to Ninevah, he avoids it at all cost. He doesn’t see anything of anyone worth redeeming there. When God eventually convinces him to go, the Ninevites do as he had feared: they repent and God is merciful. Where are the Ninevahs of today? What are the places and who are the people that we think are so far estranged from God? How might we discover God among the Ninevites? Or to whom might we be Ninevites? What might God be trying to speak to us? Better, yet, how might we discover God’s heart for the Ninevites and for us? Find us on Facebook at St. Paul's United Methodist Church-Rochester.

Bad Calls - Poor Jonah leaves the place he is from because he does not think it is possible to embrace God’s tenderness, love and mercy surrounded by the community of Ninevah. Yet, God calls him to go right back into the center of the city to proclaim God’s love and tenderness right where he is placed. Jonah is frustrated and thinks he could be a better leader with different people. How does God respond? What does it mean to embrace God’s mercy and tenderness being for everyone?

Unwind, relax, reflect, and connect with God.
Abba's Child: The Rabbi's Heartbeat
Pascal said, “God made man in his own image and man returned the compliment.” Jesus is not a brand or a hashtag that justifies our world view. Christ is a living Spirit that goes way beyond all that stuff. When you attune your heart to the rabbi’s heart, you are in touch with an incredible fountain of life. Tune in to go deeper in God’s amazing love. (This Vespers series is inspired by Brennan Manning’s book, Abba’s Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging.)
