To be alive means to know what it’s like to need a second chance … or a third, or a fourth. And it’s easy to carry this burden wherever we go, even when we don’t see it at the front of our minds – even if we realize that another chance is already in front of us and that forgiveness is already offered.
If we’re going to actually embrace these, though, we need to realize that a second chance isn’t just about being forgiven. It includes an invitation to step into something beautiful and scary, all at once. And as we begin to trust in the One who makes this invitation, even in small ways, we start to see that His grace doesn’t just bring us back. It moves us forward.

Message Series Description:
Most of us are totally fine with God’s mercy ... that is, until it starts nudging us toward those places that we really don’t want to go. We love the idea of a patient, close-by God, but we so often push back when His message starts stepping over our boundaries. Still, that’s exactly where God meets us, right in the middle of our running and our unraveling.
One of the greatest stories of this relentless pursuit in the bible, Jonah, isn’t just a story about a reluctant prophet getting rescued. It’s an invitation to ALL of us to let God realign the things that have drifted in our hearts, soften what’s grown hard, and teach us to care about what truly matters to Him.
