March 12, 2023 - A Time to Dance and Celebrate! - Pastor Paul Vallee

Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah Series

Here we come to one of the Old Testament's most moving and powerful texts. These promises are a high point in the Old Testament. A broken, divided nation hears the amazing promise that will extend for generations. The introduction of the new covenant is communicated here, which will move God's covenant past an agreement with a nation to extend this covenant to people as individuals. God will not only be their God as a nation but also our God, personally. God will write His laws within our hearts and dwell within us. In chapter thirty, we continue the incredible promises of God's promised restoration at the nation's lowest point in history. We will discover that the restoration promised by God is beyond anything that can be imagined. The nation will be once again unified, no longer divided, which happened because of the sin, under the reign of Solomon and occurred during the reign of Rehoboam, Solomon's son.

When we discover about life is that when we are living in a wrong relationship with God, life becomes difficult. There are seasons in our lives when we are stretched in our spiritual growth, and we may lose a sense of God-given joy. Yet, God desires to bring us an exciting celebratory life. We generally don't celebrate being disciplined, but there is joy to follow, and that is what this fantastic chapter speaks of. There will come a time of dancing and celebration when God brings His promises to fulfillment.
