Your No Doesn't Cancel God's Yes - Jonah's Second Call

Ever said no to God and thought that was the end of it? You're wrong. "Then the Lord spoke to Jonah a second time" (Jonah 3:1 NLT). God gives second chances - and yours might be today.

After Jonah ran from God's call, endured the storm, and got rescued from the fish, most sermons stop. But that's not where God stopped. He called Jonah again with the exact same assignment. Same city. Same uncomfortable obedience.

Your delay doesn't mean disqualification. That thing you've been running from? God's still calling you to it. Your late obedience is better than your permanent avoidance.

This is Day 4 of our 7-day series on *Grace, Forgiveness, and Fresh Starts*. If you've ever felt like you've missed your chance with God, this message is for you.
