I just got let go from my job due to a restructuring. I fully committed myself to God only a few months ago. I've been praying for financially freedom to free myself from this job, and it seems half of my prayer came true.
I was frustrated with work, sure. While I do have time thanks to their generous departure agreement, I've been praying to him on what to do next and the first thing I heard back was to attend church.
How do you know what's the right church to attend? Are there any red flags to look out for? Or do you have to just visit each one to find out yourself?
Absolutely. The Bible isn't there to make you feel good, it's there so us as humans realize how messed up we are because of sin, and through the curse of sin we need God's intervention (Jesus dying on the cross) to be able to join God in His eternal kingdom. Because we as sinful beings cannot do it on our own. "No one can come to the Father except through Me" Jesus says. A good sermon should be convicting us, remind us to repent of our sins, and then bring it back around to focus on the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. And because of that we are washed clean and our blood price has been paid in full. Praise the Lord!
