Rev. Jesse Larson starts today’s online service with a reading of Jonah 2:1-10—the “psalm of thanksgiving” prayed by Jonah after being swallowed by a whale. Jesse tells how Jonah was asked by God to preach to the town of Nineveh … something way out of his comfort level … and he went to sea instead, and ended up in the belly of a whale. While trapped, he had time to rethink priorities.
In his message, Rev. Jesse talks about taking time ourselves—in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic—to inventory our lives and experiences. When we give thanks, we do see the world with clearer vision.
