Jeremiah 32
Turn to chapter 32. I’ve passed over it three times. Chapter 32 in the book of Jeremiah. Let’s come to chapter 32. Jeremiah has been speaking and telling the people of Judah the judgment’s coming. He’s been telling that message for a long time. They haven’t liked to hear it. They’ve got false prophets and false teachers that are going around telling the judgment isn’t coming. Well, it’s there. As we come to chapter 32, I want to lay out…
Nehemiah 8:9-18; 9:1-3, The Problem of the Heart Issue
During Jesus’ ministry, as I mentioned earlier, one of the things that his disciples struggled with often, as well as the people who were around with them, is they failed to see that the real problem man has is a heart issue. It’s not broken bones, it’s not disease, it’s not corrupt governments, but it’s our relationship with God and our rebellious hearts. Jesus came to transform our lives and to make us new creatures in Him. And those of…
Jeremiah 31, Forgiveness and Restoration
Turn with me to Jeremiah and I wanted to take a look at Jeremiah chapter 31 this evening. We’re going to jump ahead a few chapters. The last few weeks we’ve been looking at Jeremiah and it’s kind of been repeats of the same message because that’s what much of the book of Jeremiah is, Jeremiah’s burden that he’s given from the Lord about what is to happen to the nation of Judah and that they are not seeing the…
Jeremiah 25:1-11
So if you would turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 25. Last week we looked at the fact that God was preparing to take the nation of Israel into captivity. There were three invasions from Babylon, the first two, the first invasion from Nebuchadnezzar was one in which they took away some of the young nobility and some of the leaders of Israel but they didn’t do a lot of damage to Jerusalem or the nation itself. The second invasion,…
Nehemiah 6:15-19; 7:1-4; 8:1-8, Continue
Will turn with me to Nehemiah, and we come to the last portion of chapter 6. Nehemiah, the last portion of chapter 6. God had done an amazing work through Nehemiah and the Jewish people that had returned to the nation of Israel, to the city of Jerusalem. In the space of 52 days, they rebuilt the walls. That’s less than two months. And when Nehemiah got there, the rubble was so great, if you remember when we began the…
Jeremiah 23:31-40; Jeremiah 24:1-10
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. 33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask…
Jeremiah 23:9-31
Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness. 10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. 11 For both prophet and…
Nehemiah 6, Opposition
I want to continue our study through the book of Nehemiah, and if you would turn with me to the book of Nehemiah, and we want to pick it up again at chapter 6 of Nehemiah. One of the difficult things in life is we are always in a spiritual battle. Not only in a spiritual battle, but there’s difficulties as we see things that happen, like what happened in Texas this last weekend, just two days ago. And sometimes…
Jeremiah 23:1-9, Pastors and Leaders
Jeremiah chapter 23. Jeremiah has been speaking to Zedekiah and bringing to his remembrance his three brothers and nephew, and how they did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and how that God judged them for it, and the judgments that he brought against them. And now Zedekiah is doing the same thing. But Jeremiah also realizes that there’s not only the problem of the kings of Judah setting a bad example and leading the people…
Seeking the God Who Is—Not the One We’ve Made
God has given Jeremiah and told him to use various examples of objects that are to explain God’s relationship with Israel and Israel’s lack of a relationship with God. Last Wednesday, we looked at the fact that God is the sovereign potter. He told Jeremiah to go down and look at a potter and observe the potter and what the potter did with the clay and how the potter could mold the clay and take a lump that was unseemly…
The Bride Awaits
This powerful message unveils the deep connection between the bride waiting for her groom and the Church awaiting the return of Christ. With fresh insight and biblical clarity, you’ll see Scripture come alive in a whole new way—and be reminded of the urgency, hope, and joy found in preparing for the Jesus Christ’s return. Ephesians 5:22-26 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ…
Jeremiah 18, A Call to Repentance
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.…
