In a world that often gives up on people who make mistakes, our God stands apart as the One who pursues us with mercy and offers second chances. In Jonah 3, we see God giving Jonah—and the entire city of Nineveh—a chance to turn back, obey, and experience His forgiveness. This message dives into the heart of God’s mercy, revealing how He calls each of us to embrace our second chances, respond obediently to His direction, and witness the transformative power of repentance. Just as God extended grace to Jonah and Nineveh, He extends it to us, inviting us into a renewed relationship with Him and a fresh start.
