The Book Of Lamentations – Part 10 – A Defeated Nation Mocked And Hissed At – God’s Word Never Returns Empty - Chapter 2:15-17 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 22, 2025

The enemy mocking and hissing at a defeated and downtrodden people was the delight of passers-by, but persecuted Christians suffer that today increasingly. It’s an ugly world when sin is in control. Wickedness these days is galloping. Do not oppose the Jew or Israel.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 10 – A DEFEATED NATION MOCKED AND HISSED AT – GOD’S WORD NEVER RETURNS EMPTY - CHAPTER 2:15-17 Jeremiah is sometimes called “the weeping prophet,” and I like to think of him as one of the most passionate writers in the Old Testament, in fact, in all of scripture. ...read more

Captives Free

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 29, 2019

Just as God was faithful to Israel by returning them to the land and restoring the nation when all hope had seemed lost; so today, Christ is faithful to transform ashes into a beautiful headdress, a spirit of mourning into the oil of gladness, and a faint spirit into a garment of praise.

A PEOPLE IN EXILE I want you to close your eyes for a moment. Now imagine with me that you are an Israelite during the Babylonian Exile around 2,500 years ago, standing on the bank of the Euphrates River.

0803a Trinity Iii: The Hound Of Heaven, Part I Series

Contributed by Mark Woolsey on Jun 5, 2008

The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.

A Plea To Reutrn To God

Contributed by Arthur Horne on Nov 18, 2000

Using the Old Testament Prophets to show a modern day need of returning to the Lord that so obviously birthed this nation called the United States
