God's Chase - His Pursuit for His People | Pastor Vlad

What does actual unconditional love look like?
It looks like God pursuing you endlessly. God's pursuit for you is relentless.

As you listen to this message by Pastor Vlad, may you have fresh revelation that you are truly pursued by love.

Four Types of Stumbling Blocks: 
1. Christians can be stumbling blocks for others. (Matthew 18:6)
2. Satan is a stumbling block for Christians. (Matthew 16:23)
3. Jesus is the stumbling block for the Jews. (1 Corinthians 1:23)
4. God puts a stumbling block for the sinner. (Ezekiel 3:20)

“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. Ezekiel 3:20

I. Christian don’t lose their righteousness but they can forfeit their righteousness by walking away from the Lord.

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6

Yet now, if You will forgive their sin—but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.” And the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. Exodus 32:32-33

II. When believers turn from righteousness, they will turn to iniquity.

Our righteousness comes from faith, not from works. 

“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Romans 4:3

Righteous standing empowers righteous living. 

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him. 1 John 2:29

III. When we run from righteousness, God starts the high speed chase.

Then the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.” Hosea 3:1-2

IV. When we turn from righteousness, we get stumbling blocks.

Road Signs (Gods word)

Police Siren (Consciousness) 

Speed Bump (Experience of others)

Spike Strip (Personal painful failures)

“Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and wall her in, so that she cannot find her paths. Hosea 2:6

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Acts 2:37

V. It’s time to pull over and come out to surrender.

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” Acts 9:5
