Return to First Love Part 1
July 31, 2023
Do you believe God keeps His promises? I think every Christian would answer yes to that question, but do we really live like we believe it? Today we’ll see a shining example of God keeping His promises - even when it involves a man who really blew it. We’ll look at Genesis chapter thirty-five today, as we see more proof of a loving and faithful God. You’ll also be encouraged to return to your first love when you’ve been drifting.

We’re in Genesis chapter 34 today, where a tragedy occurs. Jacob’s young daughter Dina is raped. As awful as that was, Pastor Jeff has observed how compromise by Dina and her parents was a contributing factor! When parents aren’t taking an active role in their kid’s lives, helping them understand the dangers of the world, awful things can happen.
