Father, took you for your grace, thank you for the opportunity to be together.

Once again, as we study aware now that you teach our hearts and help us to be more like you in Jesus name.

We pray.

Amen.

Jonah Jonah.

Jonah, Jonah.

Jonah, do Jonah running away from God and chapter one, God calls Jonah.

Hey, Joe, I got a mission for you.

Go do it.

But Jonah went the other way.

So then it was about five hundred miles away, but Jonah decided to go to Tarsus, which is 2000 miles away.

But one of us we like to take the long route, But in the end was going to happen, we're going to have to turn back anyway.

So instead of going 500 Miles and Miles 2,000 miles, even though God gave him a ride in chapter 2, Amanda fish.

Ball.

Middle name of shore.

Then he still had to go to Nineveh Jonah face the problem because of his Disobedience to God.

And in Chapter 2, Jonah repented and Jonah prayed to God.

And now in chapter 3, we will see Jonah is repentance into action and see how God is going to use a man who is submitted to him.

Jonah 3:1.

So let's read.

It says, The title of a message.

This morning is second shins.

Do you need a second chance?

Do you need a second chance?

Do you need a second chance?

Do you need a second chance?

So Jonah 3:1

It says then the word of the Lord came to Jonah.

The second I'm saying, arise go to Nineveh the great City and call out against the message that I tell you.

So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord.

Now Nineveh was an exceedingly.

Great City, three days journey in breath.

So the word of the Lord.

Now the second time came to Jonah, how many times the word of God has come to you?

How many times does God's word has come to your engagement?

I want you to do this to me.

And then we disobey See, when you look at chapter 1 and chapter 3, it's the parallel scripture.

So if you go with chapter 11 verse 1, if you flip your pages, or tap your device, inverse one, it says the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of an Italian and second verse in chapter, when it says go to the city of Nineveh and preach against it because its wickedness has come up on before me.

The new verse 3. What does it say?

Said with me, those of you who have your Bible but Jonah ran Always KU win away from the Lord to flee to tarshis.

But now look at Moore's, 30 Rose to Nineveh.

You see when God gives you a second chance you need to take it when God give you a second chance, it's your opportunity to make things right.

And all of us here at some point in our lives of receive Second.

Chances from God. for some of us, it starts since fortunes 1516 100 skins.

But when God gives us a second chance, it's our opportunity to turn back to him.

You see, God never gives up on us and you see their God didn't give up on Jonah, Jonah, a preacher, we should know better.

God called him to do it work, but he refused and now, but but here's the thing.

Now second chances are good, but they are consequences to Second Chances, right?

When Joe, and I didn't hear the first time.

What happened to him?

You got swallowed by big fish do enjoy being inside the belly of a fish for three days and three nights.

He was in distress.

See now you really turn to God to pray R6 there are consequences when we don't listen to God the first time but when God gives us a second chance we need to jump on that.

We need to jump on that second chance and let God use a census arise go to Nineveh that great City.

Call out against the message that I tell you you can God never gives up on people.

Neverland God didn't give up on Jonah but God would not give up on the ninevites either.

And remember the ninevites were a wicked City.

They were Wicked people, they committed, great atrocities.

But still God.

Love them.

See, that's the thing about God.

God always pursues us.

God is the one who pursues us all the time.

And finally now Joe and I came to his senses and Jonah arose and went to Nineveh.

How many of you would not?

Listen after God, got you swallowed by a fish?

If you don't listen at that boy, you got some problems.

Like, when I used to teach my students would tell me you got issues.

After you've been swallowed by Big Fish and God takes you to some terrible and horrible circumstances.

And you still look repent.

Something is wrong with you.

But Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord.

And I don't exactly like God wants to do some of us in half-way-tree repaired, but God tells us to do it half way we do it out on the way, but it says you're doing that when I went to live, according to the word of the Lords of Jonah.

Follow the straight path down in the city, three days journey in breath.

I had to do a lot of walking.

What's the three days journey but now Jonah was committed.

Jonah was not committed at first, but now, Jonah is totally committed to guide our first lesson this morning.

First lesson, God is in the business of restoring Sinners and giving them an opportunity to serve again.

Once they have truly repented of their sins and begin to obey, no matter the cost.

That makes sense.

That's Jonah story.

See, I'll say it again.

God is in the business of restoring Sinners restoring people and giving them an opportunity to serve again.

Once they have done.

What, Stay with me when they have truly repented.

See, I think that's the part often that we miss.

We want God to use us again but we have not truly repented, see Jonah, truly repented because now Joe took some actions, took some steps to do, the right thing and obey, God and didn't cuss Jonah.

Something that city was a big city, it says that the city was a three days journey.

So Jonah had said, you wanted to go for the entire city.

Jonah had to work three days.

Some commentators, tell this lady, that's about like 60 Mi.

So I had to do it going 20 miles every day.

Just walking around the city and sharing the message of God with them.

You see?

Not only, we have to repent but we also have to obey God and pay the price for whatever God calls us to do that.

Interesting again that God allows Jonah to pick up right?

Where Right where he left off.

God.

It's it's kind of like Jonah is The Prodigal Son of the Old Testament.

When the prodigal son in the New Testament was coming back to his father.
