Jonah Daily Devotion (Jan. 4)

We are so grateful for our clergy and elected lay leaders who have provided daily devotionals to our church family since mid-March. In a demonstration of appreciation, we are giving them a few days off! We invite you to participate in the scripture devotional below.


Jonah 3: 1-5 (NIV)

Jonah Goes to Nineveh

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”

Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
