Every Last Word

Babylon caused Israel many problems during their captivity, but Israel was not without blame. It was their sin that drove them into exile and out of the presence of God. Could there be a worse predicament for anyone?! Dr. Philip Ryken concludes his series in Jeremiah this week on Every Last Word.

The worst of nations tend to be arrogant, violent, and wasteful, much to the detriment of others and at their serious expense. But in the case of Babylon-the-Great, which could be characterized this way, God did not permit it to persist forever. Dr. Philip Ryken teaches from Jeremiah 51 this week on Every Last Word.

It seems as if the proud almost always get their way. Their boasting and insubordinate attitude often appear to be the last word, but this was not the case for the Babylonians. Join Dr. Ryken on Every Last Word in his study of Jeremiah, Chapter 50.

Even in the most difficult Old Testament passages, the eternal victory of God in Christ is made manifest. There are many enemies of the cross of Christ, but who is willing to take Him at His Word?

Jeremiah 49:1-39

Pride is self-serving, with a long history of inflicting pain on others and destroying relationships. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most subtle and insidious dispositions of the human heart. 

Jeremiah 48:1-47

Understanding how God works in world history can be a perplexing issue. Whether we're considering it from a philosophical or theological perspective or practically and experientially, the bottom line is that God is the God of all history.

Jeremiah 46:1-47:7

Who does not want great things or the opportunity to do great things in this life? The scribe Baruch found out that not everyone is called to a life of social prominence. We will likely find that out as well. Tune in to Every Last Word as Dr. Ryken explains how we can best respond to this understanding.

Jeremiah 45:1-5

Do you believe that everyone was created to worship? What kind of activities do you believe accurately depict worship? Do you think that you are susceptible to idolatrous worship? If not, why? 

Jeremiah 44:1-30

Decision-making is a universal human experience. How are Christians supposed to find wisdom and answers in a world that provides so many options? This question is not new to humanity but has been around for quite some time.

Jeremiah 41:16-43:13

God always provides for his people. In dangerous times, as in times of peace, God gives his people the blessings of the good life. If you belong to God, God will always take care of you. He will provide the work, clothing, home, and food you need to live.

Jeremiah 40:1-41:15
