Jeremiah 50-52 And So Jeremiah brings his book to a close…but… While listening to the lecture on Titus, the teacher made this observation: without hope, people are lost. Is that why God gave Jeremiah those words? “It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom and by […]
Jer 47-49 God gives Jeremiah His words regarding the nations around Judah who worship idols, and the message has bad omens. You will be defeated!

Jer. 43-46 From Genesis to Revelation, we read over and over, in one form or another, that our God can be trusted because, unlike men who change their minds or vacillate, God never does. The clearest example: Num. 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a human being, that he should […]

Isaiah 9 God’s Only Son The prophet Isaiah lived and served under many kings, and most were ungodly like King Ahaz. They didn’t believe God as in the former times so when war was on the horizon they lived in fear. Yet, God sent Isaiah to the king to remind him that He was still […]
Isaiah 1-3 Headlines! Are you encouraged or discouraged when reading today’s news headlines? Imagine being Isaiah and being called to be God’s living “newspaper reporter” to the kingdom of Judah.
