Today’s Theme Today's Scriptures calls us to answer God's call and share the grace we have received. In so doing, we find God is the Great Equalizer and a refuge for all. Nothing can separate us from God's love. God sends a messenger to the infamous Ninevites who find forgiveness when they repent. The psalmist find refuge in God and reminds us we can't find it anywhere else. We find Jesus calling fishermen, simple people, who would spread the Good News to the world. God's grace is the great equalizer, as it makes us all one.

I must find rest in God only.

Because my hope comes from God.

Only God is my rock, my salvation, my stronghold.

I will not be shaken!

My deliverance and my glory depend on God.

God is our refuge!

He is Exalted!

FWS 2070

He is exalted,the King is exalted

on high;I will praise Him.

He is Exalted, FWS 2070

He is exalted,forever exalted and

I will praise His name!


He is Lord,forever His truth

shall reign;Heaven and earth rejoice in His holy

name.He is Exalted, FWS 2070

He is exalted,the King is exalted

on high.

The Apostles’ Creed

UMH 881

I believe in God the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;who was conceived by

the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;

the third day he rose from the

dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand

of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come

to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic** church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection

of the body,and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Glory be to the Fatherand to the Son

and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.Amen! Amen!

Jonah 3: 1-5, 10Conversion of Nineveh3 The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. 4 Jonah began to go into the

Jonah 3: 1-5,10city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.

Jonah 3: 1-5,1010 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.

Jesus loves the little children,

all the children of the world.

Red and yellow,black and white;

they are precious in His sight.

Jesus loves the little children of

the world.

Mark 1: 14-20The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”

Mark 1: 14-20Jesus Calls the First Disciples16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Mark 1: 14-2019 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.

Following Jesus Leads to Fishing!

Some thoughts to ponder as you leave to go out to spread God’s

Word:

It shouldn't surprise us that God calls us to go therefore, even places unknown to people we don't

know. It makes perfect sense that we should be called beyond our limits, because the One that calls

us is beyond all limits! - Pastor Ray

Grace and Peace!!!!
