Pastor’s Comment

Thank you so much for listening in here at West Side. We often say that we love the word of God because it points us to the son of God. We hope these messages encourage you and equip you to love Jesus more. We also want you to be apart of a local church, we believe these messages are only supplemental, being apart of a local church is essential. Blessings.
Jason G Jordan

Lead Pastor, West Side Church

SERMON NOTES

Pentecost Sunday- Book of the Twelve- JOEL 

GRACE PENTECOST> Today is Pentecost Sunday, which is a big deal in the Bible! It is the birth of the NT church! And from that one church we see a family of churches born! Did you know that we are a part of a family of churches? 

        • “John to the seven churches that are in Asia…” Revelation 1:4 
        • “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings.” James 1:1 

West Side is a part of a family of churches called “The Grace Family of Churches” Pentecost is a celebration Sunday! We have a highlight video that ALL churches are showing right now! **ROLL VIDEO

Sermon Series> Also, to bring about unity in the Grace churches, all of that Grace churches will be walking through the same sermon series together! This summer we are walking through the Minor Prophets! “The Book of Twelve! 

Minor Prophets: 

        • There are 12 “minor prophets” in all… the last 12 books of the OT 
        • They are called “minor” not because their message is less important but because of the shorter length of their books and their succinct message. 
        • They address the political, moral and religious corruption in their day. 

What is a Prophet? 

      • A prophet was the OT office of both forth-telling and foretelling the Word of God to the people of God. 

The Prophets Message: 

      • Return to God 
      • Remember God’s Covenant 
      • Repent of Sin 

The Book of Joel: 

        • 2nd of the Twelve Prophets 
        • Joel = Hebrew, Yoel “Yahweh is God” 
        • Very little is known of Joel 
        • Joels message was to warn the people of a “coming day of the Lord” and to remind the people how kindly God responds to repentance. 

APP> Joel urges us to live “this day” in light of “that day.” 

*** See separate sheet of notes for Dave Rhodes Notes

Big Idea > Joel teaches us that our current devastation doesn’t have to be our final destination.
