When God Says Go, Why Do We Say No? [ Running from God | Jonah 1:1–3 ]


Listen Later

When God speaks clearly, why do we so often resist?In Jonah 1:1–3, God calls His prophet to go, and Jonah does the unthinkable - he runs in the opposite direction. This opening message in our Lenten series through Jonah explores why even Bible-knowing, church-going people can resist God’s will when obedience feels costly, uncomfortable, or threatening to our sense of justice and control.As we begin Lent, Jonah confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: we love God’s mercy for ourselves, but often struggle when that same mercy is extended to others. Yet this passage also points us forward to the hope of the gospel - not in Jonah’s obedience, but in Christ’s.📖 Passage: Jonah 1:1–3⛪ Church: Calvary Cork🕊 Series: The Gospel According to Jonah (Lent 2026)Whether you feel close to God or find yourself quietly drifting, this message invites you to stop running and consider the gracious God who still speaks, still calls, and still welcomes sinners home.Calvary CorkSundays 11am25 South Side Industrial Estate, T12 R792Website: https://calvarycork.orgInstagram: @CalvaryCorkFacebook: /CalvaryCork
