Our Attitude and the Gospel | Pastor Bill Sizemore

Synopsis: The story of Jonah reveals the danger of bias and the transformative power of aligning our hearts with God. Jonah, who experienced God’s grace firsthand, resisted sharing that same mercy with the Ninevites, prioritizing his comfort and judgment over their salvation. Yet God, in His proclamation of His name, shows Himself to be gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in love—qualities we are called to reflect in how we live and interact with others. Bias and anger have no place in the ministry of the gospel, as they distort the message of God’s love. Like Jonah, we must examine our hearts and ask if we value people’s eternal salvation over our comfort or possessions. God calls us to sacrifice comfort and proclaim His name faithfully, showing the world His boundless grace and compassion.
