Sermons on Curse Israel And Be Cursed:

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity.

Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021

The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

Righteous Confessors Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on May 31, 2005

Making Romans 10 applicable to today is crucial to understanding salvation. The context includes salvation, evangelism, and Israel’s obstinate rebellion.

Romans 10 In this chapter Paul continues his explanation of what happened to Israel. Last week in chapter 9 we learned that God hardened their hearts because they were not pursuing God’s righteousness but their own. And just as God chose Israel to be his people as a light to the gentiles, He has ...read more

A look back at the history of God’s relationship as husband to Israel’s as wife, and Jesus's view of divorce and marriage.

Friday of the 19th Sunday in course 2024 I looked up the first reading we just heard on a sermon website to which I frequently contribute, and discovered no sermons posted on the passage from the prophet Ezekiel.

In I Samuel 4, the Philistines have attacked the Israelites. The Philistines were one of the greatest enemies to Israel during this time. In this episode, Israel makes a big mistake. They do something which we are quick to criticize them for, yet we do it sometimes as well.
