Pastor Rick Beaudry opens with prayer and church announcements before unpacking Ezekiel chapter 5. He explains Ezekiel’s object lesson of shaving and dividing hair into three parts as a prophetic portrait of famine and pestilence, sword, and scattering, with a small remnant preserved, drawing connections to the Babylonian siege, later judgments, and future tribulation imagery. Beaudry stresses Israel’s central place in God’s plan, rejects replacement theology, and warns that judgment begins at the house of God because of widespread abominations. He urges us to repent, cling to Christ who bore divine wrath, and heed Scripture while encouraging spiritual and practical preparedness.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores Ezekiel 4 as a series of dramatic object lessons where the prophet models the siege of Jerusalem by sketching a tile, lying on his side for 390 days then 40 days, and using an iron pan to portray the separation sin creates between God and His people. He explains the harsh images of famine, measured rations and baking with dung as symbols of humiliation, scarcity and judgment, while reminding us that only Christ can truly bear our iniquity. Rick warns against false prophets and the paralysis of false hope, calling us to recognize tests that reveal genuine faith. He urges a renewed hunger for righteousness, faithful church life, gratitude for our blessings and the discipline to cast burdens onto the Lord rather than carry others' sins.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ezekiel chapters 2 and 3, showing Ezekiel’s commission as the “son of man” sent to a rebellious, stiffhearted Israel and the repeated call to “be not afraid.” He stresses the prophet’s task to receive, eat, and proclaim the scroll, sweet as honey yet bitter with lamentation and judgment, and to serve as a watchman who warns people whether they will hear or forbear. Beaudry urges pastors and us to meditate on and preach sound doctrine, depend on the Holy Spirit for boldness, and refuse worldly compromise. He also warns against false prophets and cultural pressures, calling for faithful, uncompromised proclamation even when the message is costly.

Pastor Rick Beaudry opens a Monday night Bible study at Rob, Vicky, and Brandon's home and situates Ezekiel 1 historically, noting Ezekiel as a sixth century BC priest taken in the second deportation and the book's themes of judgment and glory. He unfolds Ezekiel's vision of the heavens opening, cherubim with four faces and four wings, wheels within wheels full of eyes, fire and lightning, and a crystal firmament with a throne and the likeness of a man surrounded by a rainbow. Rick links the vision to Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation, explains angelic ranks, and stresses our need for the Holy Spirit both within and upon us while warning about counterfeit spirits and deceptive phenomena. He closes with practical calls to keep the fire for God, follow the Spirit in straight paths, worship God alone, and trust God to empower and preserve us amid spiritual opposition.

Pastor Rick Beaudry walks us through Lamentations chapters 4 and 5, contrasting Jerusalem before and after the Babylonian siege with stark images like dimmed gold, nobles turned to earthen vessels, and a city undone by famine and cruelty. He traces the cause to corrupt prophets and priests who shed the blood of the just and led the people astray, and he does not spare the brutal details of starvation and societal collapse. Rick presses for spiritual application by calling us to remember, repent, and recognize God’s sovereignty, drawing parallels to modern leadership failure, cultural decay, and misplaced hopes in political solutions. The message closes with a plea for renewal and revival, urging us to return to scripture, prayer, and wholehearted devotion so God might restore our days.

Pastor Rick Beaudry opens with prayer and worship then walks through Lamentations chapter 3, explaining Jeremiah's acrostic structure and his experience of deep affliction while connecting it to Job, David, and Elijah to show how suffering exposes and refines faith. He traces the turn from despair to hope, stressing that God's mercies are new every morning, calling us to repentance, self-examination, and patient waiting on the Lord rather than chasing a false prosperity gospel. Rick shares candid testimony of ministry loss, betrayal, and endurance to encourage faithful perseverance and warns against fear, urging practical care for body and spirit during seasons of depression. The message closes in intercession for the sick and a charge to occupy until Christ returns.

Pastor Rick Beaudry walks through Lamentations chapter 2, unpacking Jeremiah’s grief over Jerusalem’s destruction and the reality of God’s anger alongside his long-suffering. He connects the lament to Ezekiel’s vision of the Shekinah glory departing the temple and draws parallels to end times events, urging readiness and affirming a pre-trib hope that the church is preserved from the wrath to come. The message challenges modern Christianity’s drift into permissiveness and spectacle, calls the remnant to faithful obedience, study of Scripture, and intercessory prayer, and explains how suffering matures believers as Hebrews 5 describes. The time closes with pastoral exhortation, personal testimony of God’s presence among the congregation, and a plea to keep praying for families and God’s work.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Lamentations 1 by Jeremiah, painting the prophet as the weeping observer of Jerusalem's destruction and noting the book's structured lament and repeated refrain of being without comfort. He traces how rebellion led to desertion, affliction, false lovers and fairweather allies, and he calls us to repentance rather than indifference. Rick points us to Jesus weeping over the city and to the Holy Spirit as the promised Comforter who convicts, abides with us, and sustains faith through suffering. The message contrasts the temporary nature of earthly trials with eternal hope, urges discernment amid cultural decay, and closes in prayer for steadfastness and reliance on the Comforter.

Pastor Rick Beaudry examines Jeremiah 52, tracing Jeremiah’s vindication as his forty years of prophecy are fulfilled and Jerusalem falls under judgment for long-term unbelief and idolatry. He recounts the siege, the burning of Solomon’s Temple, the deportations, and Jehoiachin’s eventual release as a picture of divine justice mixed with God’s provision of hope and future restoration. Beaudry draws out New Testament themes of atonement, access to God, and the blessed hope of Christ’s return while warning that nations can decline when they reject holiness, with practical implications about food, community, and preparedness. The message closes with a plea for us to repent, sow to the Spirit rather than the flesh, deepen fellowship with God, and anchor our faith in Scripture and prophecy.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Jeremiah 51, portraying Babylon as both God’s instrument of judgment and the recipient of divine recompense, with echoes in Daniel and Revelation. He emphasizes God’s sovereignty and faithfulness, urging us to flee idolatry, embrace repentance, and walk by faith rather than fear. Drawing contemporary parallels to political corruption, globalism, and cultural deception, he warns that only a repentant church and prioritizing Jesus offer hope for nations. The message closes with pastoral prayer for the congregation and a reminder that God will complete the work he has begun in those who trust him.
