Everybody wants a second chance.

Not the small kind—the real kind. The kind that comes after mistakes, regret, or seasons where we know we’ve drifted.

In Week 1 of Jonah: The God of Second Chances, Pastor Kevin opens one of the most familiar stories in the Bible and reveals that it’s not primarily about a fish—it’s about a God who relentlessly pursues people who run.

Jonah runs.
God pursues.
God rescues.
And the deep becomes a prayer room.

This message explores how running from God never leads to freedom, how God’s discipline can actually be mercy, and how the deepest moments of our lives can become places where we encounter God again.

Jonah’s story ultimately points to Jesus—the greater rescue—who entered the depths for us so that second chances could become a reality.
