January 2, 2022 - Making Our Way Towards Wholeness - Pastor Paul Vallee

What God looks at, even beyond the terrible outcomes of our sins that we commit nationally and individually, is the condition of our hearts and minds. The need in every generation is a return to God. The conclusion of Jeremiah chapter three has been one of disillusionment. The nation of Israel and Judah had pursued their dreams, worshiped the gods or idols of the nations they found themselves in and were surrounded by. The promise of the good life had turned bitter and empty. The way forward was to change course and return to the God of their forefathers. But what did that require? Here in chapter four, we find God’s call and the unheeded response of the people. Here, we see four elements in Jeremiah’s message that will help not only the people of his hour but also ours toward wholeness.
