2022.01.02 Joe Helg (Entering into the New Year)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!! In Deuteronomy 1 we see a generation that are privileged to take possession, literally, of the land, life, & legacy that was promised to their predecessors & rejected through their unbelief. Thus the challenges facing them was MORE than just them going in and taking the land BUT also establishing of a completely 'new' nation (remember… they’ve been foreigners in a foreign land for centuries NOW called to establish a country of their own with a theocratic rule). An amazing parallel to consider is how WE contrast a similar journey... with our trials, victories, AND defeats,  as we seek to live in the abundant life promised to us in Christ (see Jn 10:10). I pray the ideas, themes, truths, & principals revealed HERE, could translate into 21stC application for each of us -- as individuals, families, relationships, AND as a church as we begin our ‘entry into this new year.’ to watch the whole service click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRIbcCMrKsk&t=3162s Have a blessed day!
