In this message: Why Jonah ran — and why we do too The tension between God's justice and His mercy (and why it's not a contradiction) Real stories of people who said yes to their "Nineveh" What God's second chances really mean The unfinished ending of Jonah — and the invitation it holds for you 📖 This message is part of Christ Church's ongoing series on Forgiveness. 🔗 For small group resources and further study, visit: https://christchurchil.org/watch-list...
