Wednesday, July 24, 2019 -No Matter What

In the series "No Matter What", there have been many examples of people in scripture who have walked with God as He guided their steps and people saw the works of the Lord through them. In this talk, we are faced with questions we must ask of ourselves if we claim to follow Jesus, such as, "What if you were called by God to speak a message of repentance and no one ever listened?". Another question we may find ourselves asking is, "What if you continued to be obedient in your calling and you were alone in what you believed, could you stay resolved to those convictions?".  Walking through scripture and taking God's Word for what it actually is, instead of trying to bend the meaning to always end well for His people, is oftentimes unpleasant. Our hope is that we find Christ when we seek Him with all our heart. The superficial hopes of this earth will destroy our faith if we are not rooted in Jesus alone. Jeremiah had hope, like we do today, because his eyes were fixed on things eternal. The promised Comforter and faith in Christ as Savior are where our true hope lie.   Jeremiah 7:1-10, 29: 4-14, 31: 31-34 Kassidy Nix
