Sunday Morning Worship Service

Feb 23, 2025    Bishop Solomon Smith

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the urgent need to 'get it right today' because tomorrow is not promised. The story of Jonah takes center stage, illustrating how even God's chosen can struggle with obedience and forgiveness. We see Jonah's reluctance to preach to Nineveh, a city he believed undeserving of God's mercy. This mirrors our own struggles with forgiveness and prejudice. The message challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we, like Jonah, running from God's call? Are we harboring unforgiveness that's hindering our spiritual growth? The transformation of Nineveh upon hearing God's word shows us the power of repentance and unity in seeking God's mercy. This story encourages us to be instruments of God's love, even to those we might consider undeserving. It's a call to action - to forgive, to obey, and to trust in God's plan, no matter how difficult it may seem.
