“Serve The Lord”
Sunday, July 21, 2024Key Verse
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15
Text — Joshua 24:14-16
Message
One power that God has given man is the power to choose. God has never forced anyone to do what He wanted. He would instruct you and can compel but would never force. God is our creator but we also know that we have an arch enemy, the devil, who is the god of this current world in which we live.
The implication of living in this world is that the system of this world fights and tries to hinder us from serving God the way God wants. God has given us the power to choose who we will serve, love, obey and pattern our lives after. God loves us and desires to fellowship with us but sadly enough, the devil is also after men, seeking who he will devour and put under his control. It is left for us today to decide who will be our God indeed.
