Summary
It's time for God's people to return to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages us to draw close to the Lord and allow Him to show us where we have drifted away. Examining the attitudes of our hearts, our thoughts, our intentions, how we view one another, how we act, and how we respond to invitations from God and the Holy Spirit, shows much about the current condition of our faith. Christ-followers have been redeemed, and our redemption requires a response from us. If we will return to God, He will change our hearts, and we will become more effective participants in His Kingdom.
