3/9 - Zechariah 1:7-2:13 | Rebellious People. Jealous God.

This week, we continued our sermon series in Zechariah by diving into his first three visions. College Ministry Resident Trent Marshall helped us unlock the meaning behind these visions and what they reveal about God's character. As the Israelites returned from exile, the nations had acted wickedly toward them. Yet, out of His great love and jealousy for His people, God returned to Jerusalem with mercy, relentlessly pursuing them back to Himself.

We are reminded that from the very beginning, God has always desired to walk with His people. From the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle to Jesus, He has continually made a way to dwell with us. Ultimately, God's love moves Him so deeply that Jesus, the perfecter and finisher of our faith, died to deliver us from the ultimate enemy—sin—that separates us from Him.
