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.

The Worse Homecoming Ever

Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016

A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

Something's Rotten In Jesse's House (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016

David possesses all these giftings, yet he is disregarded in his own family. His father and brothers do not value him much, but God does. Our worth is not determined by what others think of us but what God thinks of us.

Even The Devil Believes In god! Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 17, 2024

The Bible teaches that Satan and his followers acknowledge God's existence, but they reject His authority and actively work against His plans.

Satan's very identity is defined by his opposition to God. He seeks to thwart God's purposes and lead humanity away from Him. This highlights the importance of spiritual warfare and our need to resist Satan's schemes by standing firm in our faith and trust in God. Let's remain ...read more

The Time Has Come Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 5, 2017

Turning to Christ involves repenting of sins, rejecting selfish living and all that is unjust, renouncing Satan and all evil. It’s living every day as a disciple of Christ, loving God with our whole heart, and our neighbour as our self, until life's end.

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings ‘1, 2, 4, 7, 9, Here we come.’ That’s how my sons, Micah and Joshua, like to count down when we play hide and seek. There’s usually not much time to get ready! Actually every time they count down differently. One moment they’re ...read more

What To Do When Surrounded By Evil Series

We see people getting victimized, we see people rejecting God, we see people acting in very ungodly like ways. What should we do about it? As we study these psalms we get a picture of who God is, who we are, and we get a perspective to help.

This psalm was written for the Sabbath day. Upon returning from their captivity to Babylon, Israelis sang this on the Sabbath at the time of the morning sacrifice.

To Reveal The Glory Of God Series
