Main message: The sermon warned against the “but Jonah” attitude—knowing God’s will but choosing personal rebellion instead—and contrasted it with the life-changing power of “but God.” The preacher urged listeners to repent, obey, and get right with God so revival can come.

Key points:

• “But God” is a biblical phrase of hope, mercy, and divine intervention.
• “But Jonah” pictures a believer choosing his own way over God’s clear command.
• Jonah’s flight to Tarshish shows how rebellion is a personal choice, not a victim’s fate.
• Everyone has the potential to run from God if they ignore conviction and small compromises.
• Backsliding begins in the heart before it shows up outwardly.
• Revival requires humility, repentance, and loving God’s truth more than self or sin.
