The cost of saying 'NO' to God.

Everyone wants to hear from God.

We pray for direction.

We ask for clarity.

We want to know His will for our lives.

But what happens when God tells us something we don’t want to hear?  

That’s the tension at the heart of Jonah’s story.

When God called Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah ran in the opposite direction. Not because he didn’t hear God clearly, but because he didn’t like what God said.

And if we’re honest, we’ve all been there.

Forgive that person.

Take that step of faith.

Serve.

Give.

Trust Him.

Let it go.

In this message, we explore what happens when we resist God’s voice, rationalize our disobedience, and keep heading in the wrong direction. We’ll see how quickly compromise can become comfortable, how running from God always takes us farther than we intended to go, and why delayed obedience is still disobedience.

The good news is that even when we’ve run from God, He hasn’t run from us.

He’s still speaking.

He’s still pursuing.

And He’s still inviting us to trust Him.

The question is: What will you do when the Word of the Lord comes to you?
