Outro

You have 2 choices this year. And God is waiting to see which one you pick.

Pastor Eric Thomas (ET The Hip Hop Preacher) breaks down the only decision that actually matters this year — using the story of Jonah to show why every time you try to handle it in your own strength, your ship starts breaking up. Your relationships. Your finances. Your peace. All of it.

But when you operate in divine strength? Alignment. Obedience. Consistency. Long-term fruit.

The choice sounds simple. But most of us keep picking the wrong one, and wondering why nothing is working.
This sermon will tell you exactly why. And exactly what to do instead.

📖 Scripture: Jonah 1 | 2 Corinthians 12:9
