Labor Day
Most people think of labor day as the unofficial end of summerThey celebrate with BBQs and beach tripsWhen I think about Labor day I think about a different kind of laborThinking about this kind of labor made me think of what Jesus told NicodemusRemember who Nicodemus is?Nicodemus came to Jesus at nightWhen Jesus said you must be born again Nicodemus was genuinely baffledJesus broke it down in verse 5Remember that the Jews being God’s chosen people, felt they were destined to HeavenWhy would they need to be born again, they were born right the first timeToday some people mistakenly believe that they are destined to HeavenGod loves us, so of course He would allow us all in heavenJesus said unless we are born again we can’t see the kingdom of GodHe said that because Nicodemus was extremely familiar with the Old TestamentIt takes cleansing and being filled with the Spirit in order to be born againJesus isn’t saying that the Spirit of God is randomHe is saying that although we can’t see it, the Spirit wishes to fill all who repent and believeMany people today think they are saved but they have not been born again by water and SpiritGod desires for ALL to come to Him but only those who do will see the kingdom of GodHave you been born again? - Aug 30, 2023Exodus 30 & 31

Second Chances
Today we are going to cover the story of JonahSome background to know is that Jonah lived during a time of moral decay and worldly unrestWe could be talking about today just as easilySo God told Jonah to go and instead Jonah tried to run away from GodIn today’s tumultuous world God is telling His people to go and tell but most are trying to hide insteadWhy did Jonah do that?Everything he had been taught in Israel was to hate those against IsraelHe had been taught to be against people that were not GodlyGod changed the narrative and said preach repentance to this peopleToday American Christians also have these biases against lost peopleWe somehow believe that God only loves America and those who have already accepted HimWe would probably never say that but it is how we actWhat happened to Jonah when he ran from GodEven when Jonah was disobedient God protected himHowever Jonah was miserable in this situationWhen a Christian is not doing what God calls them to do they can not have true Joy.See even when we are disobedient if we call on the Lord He will answerThis was a second chance for JonahHe did what God asked but he wasn’t happy about itGod even used this half hearted effort to open the hearts of the people of NinevehIf we are honest we are just like this sometimes today.God gives us chance after chance but we somehow feel others don’t deserve thatThe story of Jonah ends without saying if Jonah ever had a change of heartWhen we leave Jonah he is still miserable even after doing what God told him to doGod will give us second chances and He will use us despite ourselvesWhen we are begrudgingly serving God we will not receive the Joy that should be thereToday my question for you is are you running from God?Are you serving Him but not happy about it?Wouldn’t you like to have the Joy that God gives when we serve Him gladly?Use your second chances joyfully!
