The Book Of Lamentations – Part 6 – Enemies Rejoice – What Goes Around Comes Around – Chapter 1:21-2:1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025

What happened to Judah long ago has ramifications for us today. No one can walk over the Jewish people and be guiltless. Those who rejoice over Israel's suffering will be held accountable. Judah laments its desolation and groans in rejection.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 6 – ENEMIES REJOICE – WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND – CHAPTER 1:21-2:1 This world thinks there are no consequences and it’s a bonus when you get away with it, or don’t get caught. Bad news! Everything is on record. We are going to look at some serious matters ...read more

God's Message To America

Contributed by Robert Cobb on Jun 30, 2001

What would God say specifically to America this 4th of July? He has already spoken to this nation in Pro. 14:34. "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

Introduction: Most of us place a high value on "personal" messages. Form letters and mass mailings are the norm in our day, so it is very refreshing to receive a "personal" note from a person or organization. Some have made a concerted effort to make their mailings seem to be "one-of-a-kind." ...read more

The Seed Of Christ

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Dec 16, 2016

When God sows, He doesn’t sow with seeds that can spoil or decay. There’s a kind of seed God has sown into our lives that irrespective of your financial status, you can always sow this seed.

Introduction One of the very first biblical principles God introduced in His Word is the principle of sowing and reaping (Genesis 8:22). For you to sow and invariably reap, you must have a seed. You can’t plant if you don’t have a seed. Often times when we talk about sowing and ...read more

"Friday Tragedy? Easter Triumph!”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 31, 2021

If the body of Jesus had decayed into dust within the borrowed tomb, we would not be singing the songs of Easter. They thought It was a tragic end to the “One” who had raised the dead. Tears told the sadness in their hearts. Resurrection shatters the grip of fear.

This was an Independence Day message. A nation is only as free as its citizens, and if they are in bondage to sin so is the nation. This message is intended to stress the necissity to be set free from sin. Only then shall we be free indeed.

THE DECLARATION OF ETERNAL INDEPENDENCE John 8:31-36 INTRODUCTION: A. The Pledge of Allegiance B. Many came to the Americas to find freedom but after many years of injustice and indignities brought about by King George the III the colonists had had enough. 1. The citizens of the ...read more

Cracks

Contributed by Matt Williams on Feb 8, 2012

In 1 Kings, we see the story of a decline of a nation. They go from being a wealthy favored nation to losing it all and becoming slaves. There is much we can learn from this historic book of the Bible.

Introduction: 1 Kings is written about events that happened about 1000 BC. Life was very different then which makes some of what we read in 1 Kings hard to understand and relate to. Even so, there is much that we can learn from this historical book of the Bible. In it we see the story of decline of ...read more

Prepare To Meet Your God

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

The book of Amos shows some "bovine behavior" demonstrated in the nation of Israel – a nation that had stubbornly strayed from the Lord – and if the people failed to repent, they would be led away as cattle to the slaughter.

I want to begin this morning by saying that the Bible has a lot to tell us about the personality of sheep in comparison to people. Two good examples are Psalm 23 and Isaiah 53:6, which says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way.” Sheep are portrayed as ...read more
