Through The Waters Week 7-Hosea by St. John's Church Podcast

Whatever your blank is that you filled in, Stop it. Put it down. That's enough. Come Close.

The Lord-he is God! The Lord--he is God!

God shows himself in a whisper. Don't be afraid to listen.

We know God's love and forgiveness, so we have the freedom in Christ to serve our neighbors and those around us. Through us serving God by serving them, they too might know the presence of Jesus Christ in their lives.

The more of ourselves is exposed to God, the more God's grace can be exposed to us. To heal, to forgive, to give strength.

Jesus doesn't have to redeem you and me. He wanted to. The Samaritan didn't need to save the man on the side of the road. He wanted to. That's love. It requires faith. It reflects the love of God for us.

The 10 Commandments are the Rules of the Road. God isn't finished when he set us free, he wants us to live free.

So these commandments are rooted in three things:

*Love

*Freedom

*Promise

Jesus came to set into our past and our present, to be with us in our sin and death so that he can take it all upon himself on the cross, so that we will never have to imagine a future alone without him ever again.

This is not just Jacob's story, it's your story as well. You wrestle God every single day who will be god in your life.

Want to know what God's address is?

*It's at the end of your rope.

There is nothing to hard for God to handle

Next time you miss the moon, don't settle for the stars, because God wants to give you the Sun(Son).
