Palm Sunday Breakthrough
In this message we look at the first Palm Sunday – the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, and compare it with the Triumphal Entry yet to come!
Return And Be Restored
Jeremiah surveys the extensive damage caused by the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem and eventual overthrow. People are hurting and reeling. It’s the consequences of sin ultimately. But the Lord’s heart is always to bring restoration and healing, which He will do when we return to Him.
Bible Text: Lamentations 4-5
The Excellence of Wisdom
Proverbs 8 is a great chapter that extols the excellence of wisdom. Wisdom makes herself available to all and adds great richness and blessing to life.
Bible Text: Proverbs 8:1-36
The Lord’s Steadfast Love
Though the book of Lamentations is filled with grief and mourning, we see the incredible hope that is always waiting us in the Lord. His love never fails. His mercies are new every morning, and through each mourning we can have hope in Him!
Bible Text: Lamentations 3:1-66
Sin’s Seductive Power
Once more we look at Solomon’s instruction to his son to take in and treasure God’s Word. This will keep him (and us) from falling prey to the pull of sin. Solomon illustrates how easy sin can lure us in if we’re not wising up to it.
Bible Text: Proverbs 7:1-27
Avoiding Pitfalls
In this chapter Solomon lays out some practical warnings to his son, and they’re lessons that everyone should heed to avoid various pitfalls in life.
Bible Text: Proverbs 6:1-35
Destroyed & Devastated
Jeremiah looks and sees the destruction of the temple and the city. The place is destroyed and the people are devastated. God was doing this because He cared more about the people than He did the places. Sin was ultimately to blame, and God wanted to bring them back to a right relationship with Him that they could enjoy life.
Bible Text: Lamentations 2:1-22
Buyer Beware
Solomon gives a very strong warning to his son in this chapter to beware of sin – specifically sexual sin. Though it can seem very enticing, it will leave you devastated. Sin can never deliver on what it promises you.
Bible Text: Proverbs 5:1-23
The Good Life
In this study we see how the life of wisdom brings the blessed life. Wisdom is greater than the richest treasure, and adds quality to life. It is something definitely worth attaining.
Bible Text: Proverbs 3:13-4:27
The End Result of Sin
The book of Lamentations is a continuation from Jeremiah. Jeremiah warned the people of Judah that her sin and idolatry was paving the way for God’s judgment. The book of Lamentation is written in the aftermath of this judgment as Jerusalem and the temple is destroyed and the grief and mourning is heavy. Jeremiah writes to express this heartache of anguish yet reveals the hope we have in God in times of calamity.
Bible Text: Lamentations 1:1-22
Instructions & Rewards
In this passage we look at the instruction given to live a life of wisdom, as well as the rewards that follow when these instructions are lived out.
Bible Text: Proverbs 3:1-12
Wisdom is Calling
Not only is wisdom available and being offered to all, we see that there is an invaluable treasure awaiting all those that seek it.
Bible Text: Proverbs 1:20-2:22
