God will judge sin. It’s a fact given in scripture. Yet, it’s not the only thing you must realize. He isn’t anxious for any to perish, but instead longs to save all people. To this end, he’ll give warnings to stubborn people. Today Pastor Richard will explain how God is patient and long-suffering with all people. He offers grace and forgiveness time and again. He won’t simply discard his people, but reminds them of his mercy and convicts them their sin to draw them back to him. Don’t ignore the promptings and correction from the Lord!

The religious elite leaders questing Jesus felt they’d earned all they had, and deserved their religious position. Yet, as Pastor Richard teaches today, ALL they had was given by God. Their position, power, and provision were a gift from God. God had entrusted to them his people for them to shepherd and lead. Yet, they failed. In pride, they used their power for selfish gain and to oppress God’s people. And like the Pharisees, we all will be held accountable by God for how we cared for what he’s entrusted to us.
