Sunday 11-3-2024 Pastor Kennard Weever Theme: Transformation Forward Series: Raising the Standard-Friendsgiving Sermon: It Matters How You Start Scripture: Jeremiah 29:10-11   It matters how you start. When you wake up in the morning, your first battle is the clutter inside your mind. How did you start your day or week? How did you start your walk with the Lord? What are God’s plans for your life?   The Children of Israel served other gods (idolatry) and listened to false prophets. False prophets claimed that the captivity period wouldn’t last long. The Children of Israel were in captivity for seventy years.   God was involved with their seventy years in captivity. God instructed the prophet Jeremiah to write a letter to the Israelite captives exiled in Babylon. Jeremiah’s letter was about God’s plan. God’s plan was to prosper them, not to harm (punish) them. God instructed the captives to build houses, plant gardens, get married, and have children.   God knew the plans that he had for them. He also knows about the plans that he has for us. God has plans to prosper us. He still loves us even when we do wrong, and he has to punish us. Sometimes what looks like punishment is really God’s protection.   IT matters how you start. Sometimes God has to hide us in circumstances in order to save us. God assigned IT to you. He can fix IT, but you will be in IT for a minute. He has to break you so he can use you and elevate you. IT may hurt, but you must make yourself comfortable and at home.   It matters what you do while you are waiting. What are doing with the time in between stuff or worship? It is not the season of complaining. It is the season for worship. God understands your worship. Your worship will confuse those who hold you captive.   All live services are now streaming on: Faith Life, One Life Church’s website (https://www.Onelifega.org) and YouTube (One Life Church GA) Please like and share these videos with the following hashtags:   #ILoveMyOneLife #letsdolifetogether   One Life Church appreciates your support!!
