Pastor Coatney preaches the powerful message of choosing to be Better instead of Bitter, using Joseph's story in Genesis 45. Through a parable of two men carrying an old woman, Pastor Coatney illustrates how bitterness lingers and weighs us down long after the event is over, just like one man who couldn't let go of the burden. Joseph, despite betrayal and years of hardship, chooses forgiveness over revenge, showing spiritual maturity by interpreting his suffering as part of God's redemptive plan. The sermon teaches that true strength is found in releasing bitterness, refusing to retaliate, and allowing God's grace to shape our responses and future.
