Sunday Worship - "Refocusing on the Things of God" PART 1

Jeremiah 29:4-5 says, "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them."

Senior Pastor Travis Tullis reminds us to “Refocus on the things of God” as we build on Jesus's foundation. The focus scriptures are 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, 2 Timothy 4:3, and Jeremiah 29:4-14.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3-4. Many false teachers have deceived the people of God during biblical times and continue to do so now.  When Judah was conquered by the Babylonians, a prophet named Jeremiah was the only one standing, speaking the truth, while other prophets said peace would come to Judah. Jeremiah talked of the judgment approaching because of Judah’s sins. In fact, many people did not want to repent and come back to God's word, which caused a disastrous invasion of Judah. 

Thank you, Senior Pastor Tullis, for leading us forward and higher together by encouraging believers to keep our focus on building on Jesus' foundation while we walk in truth and love as we wait for His return.
