God, The Mother. Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 23, 2025

We rarely remember God as mother. We were taught to call God as “Father”. Not a physical sense but a more spiritual. “Our Father, who art in heaven…” But Mother’s Day is as appropriate occasion to recapture the biblical maternal images for God.

Text: Isaiah 66:7-13 Theme: God, the mother. (Mother is a symbol of Nursing-Caring-Comforting).   Isaiah 66:12-13: “For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 42 – Obtaining Food Could Mean Death; Starvation Caused Oven-Hot Skin; Women Were Raped By Babylon - Lamentations 5:8-11 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025

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.
