One generation will love God, the next generation turns away from Him, follows false Gods, and sin against God, and it goes back and forth.

This was the same problem that the Israelites had after they returned to Jerusalem after their exile to Babylon.....

Follow week 8 with Pastor Steven as he dives into the book of Habakkuk.

Hear the word of the Lord from Nahum today:

God’s got your back and God will bring you through it.

Call on Him again today. Trust Him with your unanswered questions. Exercise your faith and believe that the same God who broke Assyria’s yoke is still breaking yokes today.

The power to walk humbly with God, to love mercy, and to act justly does not come from trying harder. It comes from the Holy Spirit living inside of us.

What Micah is giving here is God’s gracious invitation to join His work, through His power.

Maybe you’ve been seeking success, comfort, politics, or entertainment more than you’ve been seeking God.

Maybe you’ve been passive. Avoiding evil but not really pursuing good.

Or maybe, like Israel, you’ve become numb. You’ve stopped hating sin. You’ve learned to live with things that God hates.

The same God who sent the locusts as a wake-up call is the God who says…Even now… return to Me.

It’s never too late. He wants your whole heart. And He is full of mercy, grace, and love that never fails.

Who is Hosea? It's God! His love is relentless. Even when we run, He pursues. Even when we hide, He seeks.

Hear this: Your Hosea is still pursuing you. He has not given up on you. He will go into the darkest places to bring you home.

And if you’ve been running, today is the day to come home. Are you ready to come home and finally stop running?

Church, let's get real for just a second…

What do you feel must change before you can fully experience joy and peace?

What aggravations (like Peninnah’s taunts) are you still listening to?

Whose misjudgment (like Eli’s) of you do you need to reject?

Where do you go for comfort when life feels heavy?

Why live a generous life? Why give? -- To hear God say, “Well done”

Can you imagine that day you get to see Jesus face to face. I know that I have a lot I want to tell Him. I know I have a looooong list of things I'm so grateful for...

Can you imagine living in such a way…that your obedience inspires people long after you’re gone?What if your kids give millions one day because you give thousands?

What if your company changes their whole culture because you are so extravagantly generous with money and with kindness and with love?

What if your church could see our entire city come to Jesus because you and I caught the attention of Jesus in our giving to build His church?
