You and your family are the only humans left. That&#8217;s intense, right? So, what&#8217;s the first thing you do? You build an altar to thank God because you recognize that you didn&#8217;t survive just because you&#8217;re a good shipbuilder or animal whisperer, but because you were shown some serious divine grace. Peace and love come from God.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Here&#8217;s the thing\u2014Noah gets it. He knows that even though human nature has its flaws (like how we can be selfish or short-sighted), God&#8217;s still got our backs. After he makes his offerings, God makes this promise: <i>And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, \u201cI will never again curse the ground for man\u2019s sake, although the imagination of man\u2019s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. \u201cWhile the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.\u201d (Gen8:21-22)<\/i><\/p><p>Now, cut to us, in the present day. We&#8217;ve got life pretty good, even better than Noah&#8217;s post-flood situation. But do we actually stop to say thanks? It&#8217;s easy to think we&#8217;ve got it all because we&#8217;re smart or hardworking, but that&#8217;s not the full picture.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>So here&#8217;s a real talk for you: Building an altar might not be our thing, but the idea is still solid. We&#8217;ve got to take the time to be grateful, not just for the big wins but also for the everyday stuff\u2014like having another day to live and people in our lives who support us. That&#8217;s what Noah&#8217;s altar was about. It was him saying, &#8220;I see You, God, and I&#8217;m grateful.&#8221;<\/p><p>When something awesome happens in your life, do you take a moment to give a shoutout to God? And not just God, but also the people around you\u2014your family, your friends\u2014who help you be your best self. They&#8217;re the ones who are there for you, just like God&#8217;s there for us, giving us the life and chances we sometimes take for granted.<\/p><p>So, whether you&#8217;re eighteen or eighty, the message is timeless: Be like Noah. Recognize where your help comes from, and don&#8217;t be shy about saying thanks. It&#8217;s not just about being polite; it&#8217;s about acknowledging the source of all good things in your life. That&#8217;s respect, that&#8217;s humility, and that&#8217;s keeping it real with God and with your peeps. And this will give you peace and love.<\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the True Jesus Church\u2019s bi-annual Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation.\u00a0 See details below.<\/p><p>18-21 April, 2024 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation<\/p><p>Thursday, 18 April, 2024 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, 19-20 April, 2024 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, 21 April, 2024 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Please find our church location below:<\/p><p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>For online streaming, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p><p>For regular service hours, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\">click here<\/a>.<b><\/b><\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright, so imagine this: You&#8217;re Noah, and you&#8217;ve just survived a flood that&#8217;s wiped out pretty much everything.
