What to Remember When Things Don't Go Your Way — Part One

April 12, 2024

Everybody has a God-given mission in life. Unfortunately, many people never discover it—and that means they will never know what it means to truly live. In this series, Pastor Rick teaches from the book of Jonah and shows how God pushes you toward your life mission, even when you need second chances to fulfill it.

When Jonah didn't get his way, he became resentful. He didn’t want the people of Nineveh to experience God’s forgiveness, even though they repented. And while resentment is bad against anybody, the worst kind is resentment against God! In this message, Pastor Rick looks at Jonah’s story to show how God’s grace is available to everyone who asks for it.

God sees the big picture—the past, present, and future all at the same time—and that should be a great comfort as you pursue God’s mission for your life. Join Pastor Rick for this broadcast as he teaches how to trust God when things don’t go your way instead of clinging to your limited understanding.
