Summer in the Psalms - Week 1 - (6/28/2026)

This exploration of Psalm 33 invites us into a profound meditation on where we truly place our hope. The psalm presents three compelling reasons to praise God: His word is upright and trustworthy, His will prevails over all human plans, and His gaze discerns everything while watching over His creation. Ultimately, we're reminded that our souls must wait for the Lord, for He alone is our help and shield, and true joy comes when we trust in His holy name rather than our own plans or power.

Jonah - Week 4 - (6/21/2026)

The book of Jonah concludes with one of Scripture's most uncomfortable endings—a prophet angry at God's mercy. We find Jonah furious that Nineveh has repented and been spared from destruction. His prayer reveals a stunning truth: he knew all along that God was gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. Yet instead of celebrating this divine character, Jonah resents it when extended to his enemies. This passage confronts us with a piercing question: do we truly want others to experience the same grace that saved us? This sermon was first preached at Springfield Church of God on June 22, 2026 by Pastor Jason Mitchell.

Jonah - Week 3 - (6/14/2026)

This exploration of Jonah chapter 3 reveals a powerful narrative about second chances and divine sovereignty. We witness Jonah receiving another opportunity to obey God's command to go to Nineveh, reminding us that God's kindness leads to repentance in our own lives. The message challenges us to examine how we respond when God calls us repeatedly to step out in faith. This sermon was first preached June 14, 2026 at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell.

Jonah - Week 2 - (6/7/2026)

This powerful exploration of Jonah chapter 2 reminds us that there is nowhere we can go where God cannot reach us. We see Jonah at his lowest point, trapped in the belly of a great fish after fleeing from God's calling. Yet even there, in what seems like a tomb beneath the waves, God hears his cry. The message is profoundly hopeful: no matter how far we've run, no matter how deep the pit we find ourselves in, God is present and ready to rescue us when we turn to Him.

Jonah - Week 1 - (5/31/2026)

The story of Jonah offers us a startling mirror to examine our own spiritual lives. We encounter a prophet who, rather than drawing near to God's presence, actively flees from it - boarding a ship to Tarshish when called to Nineveh. What makes this account so compelling is how relatable Jonah's struggle becomes when we're honest with ourselves. How often do we place our faith on autopilot, comfortable in our own salvation while the world around us rages in spiritual chaos? The sailors frantically call out to their gods while Jonah, the one person on the ship who knows the true God, sleeps below deck. This powerful imagery challenges us to wake up from our spiritual complacency. This sermon was first preached at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell on May 31,2026.
