Sermons on Sin Of Judah:

Living Like An Alien

Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Nov 1, 2011

Using Judah in the Old Testament as an example, this message explains how God's people are to live as "aliens" in this world while we await the return of Christ and eternity in our true, eternal kingdom.

INTRODUCTION * A hot topic in politics: illegal immigration = “aliens” - a resident born in or belonging to another country - a foreigner; unlike one’s own / strange or difference * We, as God’s people, are aliens in a spiritual sense (not new: the people of God in the OT ...read more

Are We Really Healing As A Nation? A Response To The 911 Anniversary

Contributed by William Yates on Aug 18, 2002

As people reflect on 911, my question is: Are we really healing as a nation? In this message we look at Jeremiah 8 and see some astonishing parallels between Judah and America today.

Are We Really Healed? Aug 11, 2002 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace. Jeremiah 8:11 One month from today will mark the one-year anniversary of 911. This day will be commemorated by numerous memorial services, many ...read more

Charging Interest (Nehemiah 5)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 7, 2025

Is charging the poor interest a sin?

Is charging interest on loans to the poor exploitation, creating financial bondage, profiting from those in need, the exact opposite of love for neighbor? Let’s begin in Nehemiah 5. Did the people cry out to God because of financial exploitation? Now there was a great outcry of the people and of ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 8 – National Evils Are Widespread – Murder, Injustice, No Repentance, Delusion Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 25, 2024

The guilty argue with God and there is no repentance. Again God requests that Judah remembers her past devotion and return to the Lord. Idolatry is everywhere and the innocent poor are killed. There is no justice anywhere and delusion is rampant.

David Plunders Villages (1 Samuel 27)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 22, 2025

Is the good news about a faulty church or a perfect kingdom? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 27.

Is the Bible different to most history books, in that it tells the good and the bad about its heroes? Is church life similar in that both righteous and evil acts are done? Should it shock us that only God is good? Let’s look at 1 Samuel 27. Did David disbelieve another one of Saul’s promises, not ...read more

Revival Must Start At Home

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 8, 2019

We long for revival, but revival seems to be delayed. Contemporary Christians must "break up the fallow ground" if we will ever experience revival.

“From the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not the war against the unjust overtake them in Gibeah? When I please, I will discipline them, and nations shall be gathered against them when they are bound up for their double iniquity. “Ephraim was a ...read more

God's Righteous And Impartial Judgment Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Apr 8, 2019

After listing all the bad sins of the world that deserve death in Romans 1, we must remember that we, in the church, are guilty of the same sins.

You can summarize the first two chapters of Romans this way: In the first chapter Paul says that people who do bad things are sinners. A lot of Christians can read the first chapter of Romans and feel pretty good about themselves. We'll say something like, "well, at least I'm not a ...read more

Consider Your Ways Series

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 31, 2000

The prophet Haggai gives the returned exiles of Judah a wake-up call because of their complacency and recalls them to faithful service to their God who has done some much for them.

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS A prominent person, I believe it was Henry Ford, is reputed to have said, "history is bunk". Why he said that, I can’t think, because if we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past, we’re sure to repeat them. That’s the story of the world and is especially true for the ...read more
