-THIS SUNDAY'S TEXT-

Hey River Family!

I hope this email finds you well. Lord willing, this Sunday we will begin a mini-series through the book of Joel. In this letter, we will further see the nature and character of our God and the consequence of abiding (or failing to abide) in His grace. Because this letter is so small, I want to encourage you to try to read through the entire book this week in preparation for Sunday. As you read through the book of Joel, keep an eye out for the following themes:

A.) The call to Repentance. B.) The consequence of sin/the judgement of God. C.) The mercy/grace of God. D.) Any characteristics/attributes of God. E.) The Return of God’s people. F.) The Restoration of God’s people.

As we read, pray, and meditate, may the Lord convict our heart of sin and lead us in the way of righteousness for His name sake. I look forward to growing with you!

In Grace, -Jp
