Pastor Bill Bush · Jul 26, 2023
The book of Jonah ends not as a triumph but as a cautionary tale: Jonah obeyed God's command yet sulked at the very moment of greatest victory, because his heart never aligned with God's heart. Pastor Bill argues that many believers today do the same — they get close to God's call without fully surrendering to it, settling for the vicinity of obedience while missing the victory of it. The root issue is a heart problem: believing lies about God and ourselves that lead us to treat our relationship with Him as a transaction rather than a trust, and to care more about personal comfort and pride than about the people God loves.
