Summary
We're not the first generation to wander away from God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses several times in the Bible where God extended mercy and grace to His wayward people, once they decided to return to Him with their whole hearts. What would it look like for us to begin to return to the Lord, as individuals and as a nation? How do we begin? Pastor Allen offers insight, highlighting specific character traits and attitudes we can begin to cultivate to draw closer to the Lord and extend God's hope, truth, and peace, to those around us.
