2 Chronicles 14 – Lord, It Is Nothing For You
Asa is the new king of Judah and he turns things around. He directs people back to the Lord and they are greatly blessed. As an army of a million soldiers comes against them, Asa has such confidence in the Lord, that he calls out and says, ‘Lord, it is nothing for you to help!’ We learn some great lessons and application for us today through Asa’s example.
2 Chronicles 1 – Solomon’s Worship, Wisdom, & Wealth
2 Chronicles is an interesting historical book that is written with a fresh perspective. It’s written to give the returning captives from Babylon hope in what God has done, and hope in what God wants to continue to do in and through Israel. In this study we look at the beginning of Solomon’s reign and how he began with great faithfulness to God.
1 Chronicles 1-9 – Where Do I Belong
We begin our journey through 1+2 Chronicles by looking at the various genealogies of Israel and key figures within their history. It’s a fitting reminder for those returning out of Babylonian Captivity that God has not forgotten about them and still has a plan for them.
What On Earth Is Going On?
Guest Speaker Joel Turner gives a prophecy update on Biblical events unfolding in the world.
Bible Text: Matthew 24:3-8
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
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
A Tale Of Two Nations
As we wrap up the book of Jeremiah, we look at God’s word to Babylon and to Judah.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 50-52
Messages To The Nations
In these chapters Jeremiah shares a number of messages to different nations. It’s a word of judgment from God for their pride, and self-reliance.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 47-49
Dead End In Egypt
Tonight we look at those that trusted in their way rather than following God’s way. A remnant left in Judah after Babylon’s conquest decided to seek refuge in Egypt. This isn’t what God had for them and it will not end well for them.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 43-46
Mystery Explained
Revelation 17-18 deals with the judgment of Babylon. Chapter 17 focuses on religious Babylon and Chapter 18 focuses on economic Babylon. Today we focus on the mystery of the harlot and the beast she is riding and seek to make sense of what this all means.
Bible Text: Revelation 17:7-18
Preserved and Praising
We meet up with the 144,000 sealed saints we first saw in Revelation 7. This time they’re standing with the Lamb – Jesus Christ. They’ve been preserved through the Tribulation and are responding rightly in praise before Him. It’s the response we all can have for what Jesus has already done for us.
Bible Text: Revelation 14:1-5
Faith and the Future
Jeremiah is called to do something peculiar especially as the Babylonians are closing in around Jerusalem – he’s called to buy some property. This would require a step of faith as this didn’t make any sense from a human perspective. But the Lord assures him that there is nothing too hard for the Lord to do. And so we see the future plans that God has for His people.
