It would seem that many people live their life on a yellow brick road in pursuit of a fantasy, chased by fear. The judgment of God has chased the Jews all the way to Egypt and God is going to pull back the curtain on Nebuchadnezzar who is not all they feared him to be.
Don't be a lazy heifer or grumpy old bull. When you retreat to the ways of the world for safety you'll end up like a bull in a china shop.
The principle part of wisdom is patience. Baruch became part of the problem when he tried to take things into his own hands.
Sometimes we get so far down the road that we end up having to redefine the terms in order to make the best of our bad situation. But then the preacher must still speak the truth, which now seems so irrelevant given our present circumstance.
Many Christians move in the safety of groups and conventional wisdom asking God to bless their decision without considering what does God want me to do?
Visiting Pastor Chris Gregas shares the commission of Paul and his desire to finish well.
It was a joy to have Pastor Robert Kossak and his wife Adrian as a guest speaker. He shared from one of his favorite verses a balanced view of the authority of God with His sovereignty. As the three Hebrews said, "our God is able... but if not." When's the last time you called upon the Lord Jesus?
No one cared to read the full story so Jeremiah was told to write a summary of his 30 years of sermons that could be read in one sitting. A summary of all the Bible is boiled down into one word with three main points. The Gospel, how that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again.
Three rules to live long and prosper: Avoid drinking alcohol, avoid debt accumulation and avoid disrespecting authority.
The Lord said, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore, with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. The Lord's tone of voice has changed from one of judgment to the promise of restoration. The Day of Jacob's trouble is not without hope.
The best way to change society is to promote grandchildren and pray for the government. Remember that in the time of the Bible, no government on earth supported the Lord's work.
The Lord's blessing are unmerited but not idiot proof. Say amen to the Lord's mercy but never to His judgment.
Don't hold back or alter the truth to avoid offense. The world does not own the truth and must not be allowed to redefine our theology.
Don't allow your heart to become hardened toward the Lord. The affect of sin will always leave you hopeless.
Sin always finds its culprit and unconfessed sin always has a compounding effect. When you put your trust in the things of this world and your own best effort you will always leave you disappointed and you will stand for a double jeopardy at the second death.
Fairness is never the issue, but faithfulness is always required.
In this third sermon of Jeremiah we are reminded that to obey is better than sacrifice and Christian liberty is not freedom to live as you please or by the old adage, its easier to get forgiveness than it is forgiveness.
Jeremiah was called to serve in a political climate much like today.
God's design is for the woman to honor and the husband to cherish in the same way that Jesus loved the church and gave Himself for it.
The touch and timing of the Lord are required to serve Him. You cannot serve in your own strength or on your own timing.
