The Centripetal / Centrifugal Rhythm of God’s Call

Preached by Rev. Erik Kindem.

Scripture: Jonah 3:1-10; Mark 1:14-20

Summary

Today's sermon explores examples of being called by God that are shown in the texts for the day, including Jonah's reluctance and 4 fishermen's wholesale endorsement. It goes on to describe a third way of answering God's call that doesn't involve leaving the world as we've known it behind.

It cites the story of Zakir Hussain, who was called from birth to take on his father's legacy as a player of the Indian tabla drum. Links to Hussain's music are included.
