November 10: Choose Your Own Adventure
In “Choose Your Own Adventure,” we explore the choices that shape our journey as disciples, focusing on Jonah’s struggle with God’s expansive mercy. Jonah stands at a crossroads, confronted with God’s call to love beyond his comfort zone by extending grace to Nineveh—those he least expected or wanted to help. Throughout the Old Testament, we’ve seen God’s covenant widen and invite more people in, with each choice deepening the relationship between God and God’s people. Jonah’s story leaves us with a question: Will we embrace a faith that stretches us beyond what feels comfortable, making choices that open our hearts to love, or will we remain closed off, content within our limits? Just as Jonah’s story is left open-ended, so is our choice to respond to God’s invitation to live, grow, and serve by grace.
