Jonah 3: A Great Reset | Jonah 3 | Pastor John Adams
Ever wish you could start over after getting it wrong? In Jonah 3, the word of the LORD comes to Jonah a second time, and when he finally delivers God's warning, an entire city turns from its evil ways. It's a picture of a God who gives second chances and shows mercy to people who turn back to him.
This message is part of our Counseling Jonah series, preached by Pastor John Adams at Simpsonville Baptist Church on October 18, 2026.

A Cry from the Depths
What do you do when you’ve hit rock bottom? In Jonah 2, a runaway prophet cries out from the belly of the fish and finds that God still hears, still answers, and still delivers. Pastor Brett Martin shows us how to lament: how to bring our pain to God instead of running from Him.
As Mark Vroegop puts it, “To cry is human, but to lament is Christian.” In this message we look at how distress feels, what God is doing in the middle of it, and how we lament well. We turn to God instead of our idols, bring Him our honest complaint, ask boldly for help, and give thanks even before the rescue is finished. Because “Salvation belongs to the LORD!” (Jonah 2:9, ESV)
This message is part of our [SERIES NAME] series through the book of Jonah, preached at Simpsonville Baptist Church on October 11, 2026.
