My Problem with Anger | Let it go Two | Rick Atchley by The Hills Church

In this message, Rick Atchley of The Hills Church in Fort Worth, Texas, explores one of the greatest revivals recorded in Scripture. With a sermon consisting of only a few words, Jonah delivers God's warning to the city of Nineveh, and an entire nation responds with repentance. Through this remarkable account, we see how God had been working in people's hearts long before Jonah ever arrived and how His mercy is extended to those who turn back to Him.This message examines the nature of true repentance, the character of God, and His extraordinary grace. As Nineveh changed its ways and God relented from judgment, we are reminded that God's desire is not to condemn but to rescue. Listen in to hear more about God's relentless pursuit of those who are far from Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

My Struggle with Approval Addiction | Let it go Two | Rick Atchley by The Hills Church

In this message, Rick Atchley of The Hills Church in Fort Worth, Texas, shares how Jonah's story is far more than that of a man swallowed by a fish, it's the story of a God who relentlessly pursues those who run from Him.Discover why the storm Jonah faced wasn't punishment, but a loving intervention designed to bring him back to God's purpose. You'll be challenged to consider how God may use difficult circumstances to correct, restore, and draw us closer to Him. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that no one is beyond God's reach and no prodigal is beyond His grace. If you've ever felt distant from God or wondered whether He still pursues you, this message offers a powerful reminder of His unfailing love.

My Anxious Spirit | Let It Go Two | Rick Atchley by The Hills Church

In this message, Rick Atchley of The Hills Church in Fort Worth, Texas, kicks off a powerful new series through the book of Jonah by looking beyond the famous story of the great fish to the greater story of God's relentless mission and mercy. Through Jonah's attempt to flee from God's call, we are challenged to consider the deeper question at the heart of the book: not whether a man can survive inside a fish, but why people so often run from the will of God.Drawing from Scripture, this message highlights God's sovereignty, compassion, and desire to rescue those who seem farthest from Him. As Jonah wrestled with God's mercy toward Nineveh, we are encouraged to examine our own hearts and identify the people, places, or assignments we may be resisting. This message reminds us that God pursues both the lost and His reluctant servants, inviting us to trust His purposes and walk faithfully wherever He leads.
