    Measure Upon Measure – Sorrow – The Restoration Of God - Part 8 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 4, 2025
     | 138 views

    What a ruined state lives are in with devastating sorrow. Sorrow is a result of the fall but what JOY results from the work of Christ. Our faith can be underpinned by an inexpressible joy, bathed in the glory of God. Jesus has done wonderful things changing sorrow into joy.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SORROW – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 8 In the last message we continued these consequences of sin resulting from Adam’s fall in Eden. Firstly we did guilt and shame, then separation, then the curse, and now we continue sorrow. Sin caused so much destruction but we also ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 30, 2025
     | 103 views

    We have some insights into the problems Jeremiah faced with schemes against him from vindictive assailants. All day long he had to face their whispers and their hatred. Don’t confine this to Jeremiah because it is rapidly increasing against those who love their Lord. Perilous times are coming.

    If we are children of God - if we claim to follow Jesus - then when we see a need we will do something. We must be loving, caring Christians.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK This morning I want you to hear the cry of Jeremiah, the O.T. prophet, as he looks at the ruins of the city of Jerusalem. In the book of Lamentations, chapter 1, vs’s 1,8,11-12, he ...read more

    In a culture that is given to watching and talking (Spectators) the task of the church is to present the gospel as a doing and acting faith.

    We excuse everything with "I don’t care", but when we see the eyes of those we have offended and hear them speak, we know that we have hurt them. When we see Christ and hear Him at the cross, we can no longer pretend that we don’t care.

    I “I don’t care.” That was the mechanism I used as a boy to fend off whatever punishment my parents gave. “You’re grounded.” “I don’t care”. “No allowance this week.” I don’t care.” And, to tell the truth, I didn’t care. I would just go to some quiet corner and get a book and read. I was ...read more

    Without Strength Before The Pursuer

    What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. Somebody that is pursued cannot relax. If he has no strength then he is already a prey, a casualty.

    Lamentation 1:6 says, “And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.” What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. ...read more
