Challenge for Change

Today, Rev. Anne Aspden reflected on the Old Testament story of Jonah and the Gospel account of Jesus calling fishermen to follow him. Jonah initially resists God's call, leading to a series of events, including being swallowed by a fish. In the Gospel, Jesus calls fishermen to discipleship, emphasising the need for a positive response to God's kingdom. Anne encouraged us to reflect on our own responsiveness to God's call, stressing the transformative journey of aligning one's life with God's will and embracing discipleship with an open heart.
