Even when God puts you in a wilderness of trials, tribulations, unjust treatment, He is working out His will and purpose. Israel’s history provides great Biblical examples that highlight God’s sovereignty and His work in people’s lives. Bro. Jeff points out what we can learn from their successes and failures and how we can stay on the path of belief and trust in Him. Are you in the center of God’s plan for your life?
What is repentance? If we want to know the presence of God in our life, if we want to receive His blessings, we must deal with our sin. The account of Joshua provides a dramatic example of the need for repentance; Bro. Jeff invites us to do prayerful self-evaluation to uncover our sins before God and enjoy the blessings that come from repentance.
What a good lesson in our sinful, selfish, self-centered nature, in our complaining, griping, and arguing, and how that hurts our witness! Bro. Jeff delivers a challenging, but encouraging message to all of us sons of Adam and daughters of Eve – we mustn’t whine, but we must shine!
While each disciple’s meeting with the Master reinforces the life-changing transformation that ensues, there is something unique to learn from each as well. Bro. Jeff explores Nathanael’s encounter with Christ and shows its application for us.
Previously, Bro. Jeff spoke about the message that Christ preached and the truth that He prayed. Here, he provides four key words relating to “the invitation Him,” Jesus’ welcome call for us to receive rest in Him.
