The Sign of Jonah | Pastor Bill Sizemore

The Sign of Jonah - Experiencing Death to Walk in Newness of Life


Synopsis: In this sermon, we explore the powerful parallel between the sign of Jonah and the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, showing how no human effort can bring salvation—only the sacrifice of Christ can. Just as Jonah spent three days in the belly of the fish, so Jesus spent three days in the grave, conquering death to offer eternal life. Today, the only sign we bear to a skeptical world is the baptism of death and resurrection—putting off the old self and rising to new life in Christ. This transformation journey requires more than just belief; it calls for deep spiritual renewal, intentional work, and a heart surrendered to God’s guidance. As you listen, consider what you need to put to death in your life so the resurrection power of Jesus shines through you.
