As Jesus approached Jerusalem for the final week of His life prior to His crucifixion, He was met by those who were rejoicing and those who were rejecting Him. Even those who were rejoicing would soon cry out for His crucifixion when Jesus did not deliver the way they had hoped. That’s because Jesus’ mission was greater than providing political peace. Jesus came for the sins of the world to offer us personal peace with God through a relationship with Him. In today’s message, Pastor Gary connects the Palm Sunday story of the past with the present and the future—looking ahead to a time when all the saints will be worshiping Jesus around the throne of Heaven.

Join Pastor Gary as he fields questions about the book of Hebrews and other biblical topics.

The book of Lamentations is a book that “laments” the destruction of Jerusalem in 586B.C. by the Babylonians. Lamentations describes the tragic and terrible results of a people who rejected God—a people who refused to turn FROM their idolatry and sin and turn TO God. The consequences for their sin were devastating. But in the middle of all the sin and destruction and devastation emerges a passage from Chapter 3 about the love, mercy, compassion, and faithfulness of God! When we realize our own sinful condition and how it can leave us feeling discouraged, bitter, discontent, and distant from God, it’s important to remember that we can run to a God who is loving, compassionate, merciful, and faithful. And Lamentations 3:23 reminds us that all those qualities about God are new every morning! In other words, every day is a new day and another chance with the Lord! Whatever might be your past—whether yesterday or years ago—there is a fresh batch of God’s love, mercy, and compassion for you today.

In the closing chapters of Jeremiah, God rebukes the Babylonian Empire for 4 particular sins. Even though God had used the Babylonians as the instrument of His correction for the Jewish people, the Babylonians were guilty of going too far in their treatment of the Jews. Despite these events being about an ancient story, Pastor Gary takes a modern look at how the sins of Babylon can serve to admonish us and help us to live godly lives.

An in-depth study of Hebrews 12:1-13.

In Jeremiah 48, God uses a wine analogy to describe three major objections he has to the spiritual condition of the nation of Moab. He challenges them about how they are too much at rest, how they have settled on their “dregs”, and how they have lost their aroma. Found out what all that means in a modern application as Pastor Gary uses this rebuke from God to the Moabites to challenge us in our walk with Christ.
