The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025

The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught. Here in chapter 5 we ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 44 – Elders Have Been Vanquished By Babylon. We Look At Joy And Music Ceasing. Then We Consider The Great Jewish Contribution In Music - Lamentations 5:14-15 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2025

Further to all the troubles, the elders no longer function with determining justice when they sat in the gate. Young men no longer play and enjoy music. The nation lost its joy. Israel has a rich legacy with Composers and Conductors and Performers. Joyful change at the Second Coming.

The Creation Of Man And Woman - Parts 2 & 3 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 6, 2021

This is a two-part sermon. God also gave man full dominion over God’s creation on earth. As the pinnacle of creations, man was appointed as managers, if you will, over God’s beautiful creation. It was man who relinquished that dominion over to Satan.

The Parable Of The Pouting Son Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Apr 4, 2003

This in-depth view of Prodigal Son parable focuses on the elder son and the bitterness and resentment he displayed upon his brother’s return and how we sometimes have the same inflated sense of goodness and faulty understanding of our Father’s grace.

The Parable of the Pouting Son Luke 15:25-32 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION Over the last three weeks we have been looking at what has been called the Parable of the Prodigal Son. In this masterpiece, Jesus communicates several lessons. I believe the main point of this story is to show us what ...read more

Deacon Stephen Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 12, 2020

The Freedmen on those days had secretly plotted against Stephen. They induced men and stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes. They came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. They also set up false witnesses against Stephen. Truth triumphs.

Dealing With Tensions And Conflicts In Churches And Church Organisations – Practical Examination And Suggestions – Part 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 21, 2024

Some important things here. Firstly, the church business meetings! The trouble these have caused. We look at Pastors’ and elders’ wives and behaviour. What about the leaders’ kids running around unsupervised? All dealings must be impartial. Must teach on Christian responsibility.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 20, 2012

There are lots of bad role models in this world . But Jesus called us to be role models of His way of life for others. So, how do I become the kind of role model he wants me to be and how can I make a difference in the lives of others?

God will overthrow those who are opposed to him, his appointed leader will take his place over the people, and the rule of God will extend to the whole earth until all those who were cut off have been brought back to worship God in Jerusalem.

Paul, The Real Deal-How Bout You?

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 29, 2010

False teachers sought to undermined Paul’s Spiritual credentials, however he set out to defend his apostleship, explaining once again that he was appointed by God and not by men. Paul was an apostle, “one sent with a commission.” The apostles of Jesus Chr

Our God Is Quick! Series
