Restored Through Repentance

Sermon for August 13, 2020

Joel 2:1-16

Throughout the book of Joel God is trying to Get Israel’s attention. He is moving in a great and terrible way, in order to illicit a deep heartfelt repentance on the part of his people. This is an important concept for Christians in the face of a global pandemic to understand. We have faced crisis before and if the lord does not return tomorrow, we will face crisis again. The plague we face today should point us to the reality of Gods coming judgment against the nations and against his own people. For us as much as for Israel  natural disasters exist to show us that we are  not right with God and Like Israel our  pathway to restoration always leads through repentance.
