Return to the Lord

Pastor Moss introduced the book of Joel, explaining it was written around 835 BC to the southern kingdom of Judah during a time when Israel was split. The book centers on the imminence of the day of the Lord, described as a day of darkness and judgment manifested through an army of locusts that would bring destruction. Using a wedding illustration, Pastor Moss emphasized that while Christians are saved, God continues to work in them to make them ready for Christ's return, like a bride being prepared for her wedding day. He argued that most believers aren't truly ready to meet their king, as there are still areas where God's kingdom hasn't taken ground in their lives. The main idea presented was that the same God who promises imminent judgment also delights in showing magnificent mercy, giving people time to get right with Him.
