Sermons on Babylon Confusion:

The Voice Of The Bride Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 8, 2017

In prophecies about the falls of and Jerusalem and (figuratively) Babylon, actually separated by centuries, the writers said that the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard any longer in each city. What did these prophecies mean?

Note: There is a companion sermon to this one, titled THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM. I preached them on two consecutive worship assemblies, with THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM being first, and this sermon following shortly afterward. Both sermons are on Sermon Central. THE VOICE OF THE BRIDE I. ...read more

Don't Defile Yourself

Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on May 6, 2020

Jerusalem was besieged; people and articles were taken to Babylon. Among those that were taken were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, there names were changed to Belteshazzer, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who ...read more

The Unseen Battle Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

In Daniel chapter 9 (which I said would be our last message in this series) we see where Daniel took it on himself to intercede on behalf of all the people of Israel who were in captivity in Babylon; and Daniel was just one individual, yet the Lord heard his supplication. Daniel’s prayer reminds ...read more

The Sin And Salvation Of A Self-Made Man Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, was a legend in his own mind. Hear the testimony of a self-made man who was humbled and finally proclaimed Daniel's God as the God all in His kingdom were to worship.

Many of us here today are familiar Charles Colson, not so much because of who he was, but who he came to be. You see, originally, Charles Colson was the proverbial self-made man. By his mid-thirties he had founded a great law firm that was influential in both Boston and New York. And in his ...read more

Second Person Of The Trinity

Contributed by Chris Tiller on Dec 12, 2005

What does it mean to say that Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity? What are some of the errors of understanding that have sometimes confused or deceived people?

In the midst of his earthly ministry, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Jesus then asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” The gospels ...read more

When common arguments about abortion confuse us, let’s listen to what God says and let Him settle the dispute.

INTRO: Abortion is an emotionally volatile subject. Both sides are moved with passionate zeal to promote their cause. Anti-abortionists know that if abortion is sinful, they must speak out rabidly or bear the guilt of this moral crime against humanity on their own silent hands. At the same time, ...read more
