A Word to the Kings
Jeremiah’s ministry overlapped the reign of the last 5 kings of Judah. The last four were wicked kings and in this study we see Jeremiah speaking to these 4 kings. It ultimately leads us to the final King that will come and establish a true reign of righteousness!
Bible Text: Jeremiah 21:1-23:8
Sealed, Sent, & Secure
Revelation 7 shows God sealing 144,000 of His servants during the Tribulation. This is incredible because God is continuing to have the Gospel shared even while His judgment is being poured out. This is evident with the multitude we’ll see entering heaven in the second part of Chapter 7.
Bible Text: Revelation 7
The Potter, Prophet, & Policeman
Jeremiah is directed to go down to the Potters house and there he would find the potter at work. Through what Jeremiah saw the Lord would speak to him and give some practical insights to what God was doing with the nation. We also look at some practical application for us as clay in the Potters hand.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 18-20
Who Is Able To Stand?
As the fifth and sixth seals of Revelation are opened, we see the responses in both heaven and earth. Those killed for their faith call out to God from the altar in heaven, while those on earth experience cataclysmic upheaval. The chapter ends with the question, ‘Who is able to stand?’ It’s a question we must all answer. Are you standing on your own, or are you standing in Jesus Christ?
Bible Text: Revelation 6:9-17
You Want Me To Do What?
As if Jeremiah hasn’t already had it tough, now God tells him that he’s not to marry or have children. What’s the reason? How would you deal with that? Why does it seem the Lord withholds certain things from us? We look at some of the reasons and discuss living our lives to their fullest effectiveness for the Lord.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 16-17
The Four Horsemen
Revelation 6 begins our look at the Tribulation period. It’s a 7 year period that God has set in place to deal with the continuous rebellion of the world and to draw the nation of Israel back to Him. In our study today we focus on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We’ll look at who they are and what they represent.
Bible Text: Revelation 6:1-8
Reaping What You Sow
For the third time Jeremiah is told not to pray for Judah. The people have reached a point in their sin where there is irreversable damage that is caused. A season is upon them where they must reap what they have sown. God will allow them to face captivity so as to have their hearts ultimately turn back to the Lord. But the Lord continues to give hope, “If you return, then I will bring you back.” (Jer. 15:19)
Jeremiah 14-15
Resurrection Revelation
On this Easter Sunday we look at the scene in heaven and the results of an empty tomb.
Bible Text: Revelation 5:8-14
Persevering & Preaching
Jeremiah asks the age old question, ‘Why does the way of the wicked prosper?’ God’s response is not what Jeremiah was hoping for I’m sure. But God’s concern was more for Jeremiah. All that Jeremiah was dealing with was meant to prepare him for greater challenges and build perseverance. It would enable him to continue preaching the word in all circumstances.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 12-13
The Passing of the Scroll
As we look at the scene going on in heaven, it’s one full of praise. But in Revelation 5 we see a development occur that causes John great concern. A scroll emerges with 7 seals on it, and nobody is found worthy to open it. And it causes him to weep. What was this scroll? Who is able to open it? Listen in as we take a look and answer these important questions.
Bible Text: Revelation 5:1-7
The Worship in Heaven
The scene in heaven is one of great worship before the throne of God. The four living creatures and the 24 elders are all taking part. But who are they? We take a look at who these groups are and again see the priority and program of heaven.
Bible Text: Revelation 4:4-11
Refusing to Return
Throughout this passage we see Judah as those who are holding fast to deceit, rushing into sin, refusing to listen or return to the Lord. The option was there and judgment could be averted, but they remained in sin and disobedience. So the warning continues to sound of what they could expect if they do not come back to God.
