    Those whose hearts are devoted to the gospel, display its power when they are subjected to trouble, persecution, and sorrow. The power of the gospel that entered into the heart of the apostle Paul must have been extremely strong, because it could never b

    This Psalm is like no other chapter in all the Bible. It is a Song of Sorrow. It is a Psalm of Sadness. It is, without a doubt, the darkness and sadness of all the Psalms. But let us remember that the darkest hour is just before dawn, and so, when tr

    There's No Place Like Home Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 16, 2022
     | 5,536 views

    It is the cross and the promise of a life after this one that makes this world, with all its ups and down, with all its sorrow, with all its conflicts and challenges all that much more bearable when we know that all of this is just temporary.

    “There’s no place like home.” Who said it? Right … Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Why is that line so iconic? As soon as you hear it, you see Dorothy … aka Judy Garland … holding Toto, clicking the heels of her ruby red slippers three times, and uttering the words … “There’s no place like ...read more

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023
     | 2,733 views

    As Hosea deals with his own sorrow of losing his wife to other lovers, he allows God to use his heartbreak to plead with the nation of Israel to turn from their love for and allegiance to the god Baal and come back to Yahweh.

    A. Anyone who ever doubts the LOVE of God needs to read the book of Hosea. 1. The entire book of Hosea is an ANALOGY that depicts God both as a loving husband and father. a. This is a story about Hosea and his wife, Gomer. b. The story of Hosea and his wife is paralleled to God and ...read more

    God has the power to reverse situations, restore what was lost, and transform sorrow into joy. No matter how long captivity has lasted, the Lord can bring sudden, divine turnaround that amazes both you and your enemies.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025
     | 1,349 views

    Hurting people? Yes the world is full of them. Verses for today speak of those who hurt, the broken heartedness and sorrow; of those who are crushed by circumstances and the world. Jesus’ ministry is to the downtrodden. The Lord delivers those who are afflicted, and gives them hope.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025
     | 158 views

    The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught.

    This is a hard lesson to learn. No one likes to wait. We want what we want from God when we want it. However, it is in our times of loneliness – loss- pain - sorrow - that we are driven to the very heart of God.
