Worship Sunday, July 21
The book of Jonah is quite the fish story, which makes it a perfect summer beach read. It contains our main character fleeing from God, getting thrown overboard in a storm, and spending some time in the belly of a fish, all before deciding that it might be a good idea to follow God’s lead. Today, Jonah cries out to God from the belly of the fish, reminding us that God hears us in our worst predicaments.

Christians often depend on their faith in times of trouble, and while that is a good thing, we might also fall into the trap of shaming or criticizing someone for not having enough faith. This week, we will look at the parable of the mustard seed as well as the story of Doubting Thomas as examples of the significant impact of even a little bit of faith. We’ll also consider how to treat others—and ourselves—in times of doubt.
