The Book Of Lamentations – Part 48 – Restoration And Rejection – How Do They Interact? Lamentations 5:20-22 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 16, 2025

This is the last message in Lamentations, and part of it looks at the survivors and part of it draws pointers for us too. God never rejects a penitent sinner or one of His children who has gone astray. May the Lord bless each one who studies this remarkable book.

Lamentations 5:20-22 In this message we end the series in Lamentations and it has been very revealing to see so much material in this neglected bible book.

Rebellion

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 27, 2005

Before developing the themes of guilt and judgement (12:9-13:16), Hosea reminds Israel of its unfaithfulness (vv.1-2), and of its need to repent (vv. 5-6). In doing so he draws a lesson from the life of Jacob (vv. 3-4). Much like the people of our day the

Molded By God

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

We may share in his creative work through faith, or we may forget the power of his shaping hands and look to our own ingenuity, our own capacity to market and manage our Christian fellowship. The security of God's people lies only in the Potter's Hand.

Opening illustration: I read a story of a woman on vacation that was shopping in the finest stores. One day she saw the most beautiful cup she had ever seen. She went in bought the cup and every day she would take the cup out and admire it. She would even talk to the cup and say, ...read more

The First Passover Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 7, 2013

9 chances to believe the Lord and let the people of Israel go. Continuous stubbornness on the part of Pharaoh, and eventually God passes judgment and here it finally comes in verse 4 of chapter 11…

When we look at that passage it’s hard to not to be taken a back by the apparent cruelty of God’s judgement here, but I think it reflects the original curse that came through Adam, that the consequence of disobedience – rejecting God, is death. It is also justice, and everyone ...read more

JESUS TELLS DATE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION INTRODUCTION Life presents us with many opportunities; how we respond to them depends on what we love and what we look for in life. The Jewish leaders looked for the opportunity to destroy Jesus, while at the same time Jesus was anticipating the opportunity ...read more
