The Change Community Church

Yesterday’s gathering was a lovely time with the Lord and with one another. From the songs we sang, to the edifying stories shared, to the Word we received, to the care given and joy received by our kids, to the fruitful discussion and the fun in the rain!

Let’s take a moment to recap the key points from our message yesterday found in Zephaniah 2. Let us use the instruction of God’s Word to springboard us forward this week.

1) Seek the Lord
2) Seek Righteousness
3) Seek Humility
4) (The Bonus) from Verses 5-15: God permits judgment, but He does not forget His promise to those who are His own.

Allow God to pull up anything in our lives that prevent us from walking closely with Him.

Begin today. “SEEK THE LORD.” Don’t let God be simply be an add-on to your day. Let Him be at the centre of everything you do, think and say.

Carve out time to read His Word and pray. Encourage one another and even share if you are struggling doing it - let’s use this as an opportunity to share those burdens together.

“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;
seek righteousness; seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.” (Zephaniah 2:3)

In a world that is constantly changing, how can we find satisfaction and contentment, when tomorrow may not even be guaranteed? Material possessions, career aspirations, personal relationships, and health may bring satisfaction, but only for a moment.

The Samaritan woman who sought to supply her physical need for water, encountered Jesus at Jacob’s well. This encounter brought to light that there is so much more to life than simply striving to meet our physical needs. Jesus says to the Samaritan woman...

“If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water... Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” (John 4:10, 13-14 NLT)

What are you chasing after for satisfaction? Be reminded today – Jesus Christ is the living water. His life is OUR gift from God. Whoever puts their faith and trust in Him, WILL BE SATISFIED.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” (Isaiah 58:11)

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11)

“For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” (Jeremiah 31:25)

“Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” (Psalm‬ ‭90:14)

“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:7-8)
