Cold truth - Listen to Jesus

Last week:

The action of man

Acts 3:17–24 “17 “Friends, I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance. 18 But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. 19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. 21 For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’ 23 Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’ 24 “Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today.”

Ignorance - still repent

Temporary lift.

We conflate emotions and spirutuality

The Joy of the LORD is always my strenght - sometime happy some time choice

Joy still equates to peace not dispair

If you don’t listen to Jesus you will be cut off?

If you love me you will keep my comands (verse)

You are not the people of God because of who you were born to.

Your grandmas relationship with Jesus doesn’t save you
