    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 22 – No Complaint Against God But Self Examination Necessary; Repentance And Confession - Chapter 3:39-43 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025
     | 38 views

    The survivors of the Babylonian destruction take stock and see that their sins brought the Babylonian tragedy on them. They endured punishment, but they turn to confession. We look at man’s justice against God’s justice. Actions have consequences. God’s anger pursued them.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 22 – NO COMPLAINT AGAINST GOD BUT SELF EXAMINATION NECESSARY; REPENTANCE AND CONFESSION - CHAPTER 3:39-43 Last time we finished with the way God dispenses good and ill (or good and evil) according to His sovereignty and the next verse, 39, follows on from that and ...read more

    I ask the question, what motivates you as a Christian? What makes you do the things you do? I then make a contrast between David and Saul and ask, what motivated David to weep for a man who wanted to kill him, and what motivated Saul to pursue David.

    Title: What Motivates You? Text: I Sam 18:1-12; 19:9-11; 24:1-7; 26:5-12; 31:6; II Sam 1:11-12 Pray!!!

    I want to talk of a ‘dinner table’ where a king had the grandson of his dreadful enemy, who pursued to kill him for several years sit with him in his dinner table in the palace along with his entire family everyday of his life.

    Dinner table! Mephibosheth! 2 King 9:13”So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet.” There’s lot of whirl and bustle after a ‘big bash’ is fixed! Who to invite! A big list is prepared keeping in ...read more

    God’s will for you every day is to drink of His Spirit, worship in spirit and truth, and tell others about His Son. If you pursue just these three desires of God every day, you’ll live a full life without all the hassle and hurry.

    Alan Fadling, in his book An Unhurried Life, tells a parable of a king who had two servants. One of the servants, for fear of not pleasing his master, rose early each day to hurry along to do all the things that he believed the king wanted done. He didn't want to bother the king with ...read more

    Doors are security measures that are placed in our homes to secure our lives from evil doers. Jesus said that He is the door and anyone that comes to the Father must go through Him. There are doors in the spirit realm that we must understand as we pursue the Kingdom of God.

    SCRIPTURE: Colossians 4:1-6 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery ...read more

     | 13,863 views

    The Lord through Paul calls us to get along, even when it's hard. He says to be humble, gentle, patient, and forbearing with our fellow believers. And through our efforts to do so, God will be glorified in the world. We pursue unity because God is one.

    Living Out Our Calling Ephesians 4:1-6 Some people are really hard to get along with. (Can I get an amen?)

     | 4,488 views

    We need this knowledge about our God from whom we expect answers for our prayers, miracles and much more; we would persevere, pursue and keep asking continuously when we know that God listens to our pleas and will answers our prayer. Amen.

    Not leaving until I receive! 1 Thessalonians 5:16, 17“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing…” It was hectic and peak time of the day after the morning assembly for prayer at our School, four year old deaf and dumb kid Krishna of our Abide Angel Home watched the other kids come ...read more

    Let Us Alone That We May Serve The Egyptians

     | 2,146 views

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more

    Advent, the season of anticipation reminds us of the hope we have in God, the peace we have with God and the love we have that always seeking and pursuing us for our good and for God’s glory. We find a compelling picture of God’s love in the book of Hosea.
