The Others

Join Pastor Brennan as he delves into the story of Jonah, exploring the depths of identity and the grace of God. Through an insightful sermon, Pastor Brennan invites us to examine Jonah's story beyond the familiar tale of a prophet swallowed by a whale. Discover how Jonah's identity crisis and patriotic fervor reveal deeper spiritual truths that resonate with our own lives today.

The sermon challenges us to reflect on the questions that arise from the text: Why did Jonah run from God's call, and why do we do the same? How do storms in our lives reveal our true identity and the objects of our worship? Pastor Brennan emphasizes the danger of centering our identity on ethnicity, nationality, or political views, urging us to find our true identity in Jesus Christ.

Through poignant examples from history and the book of Jonah, this episode encourages us to break free from the tendency to "other" those unlike us and to embrace the transformative power of finding our identity in Christ. Pastor Brennan's message is a call to extend the same grace and mercy we have received to others, fostering a community rooted in love and acceptance.
