Lamentations 3 - The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases! (vs 22). Nothing has experientially changed, life is still miserable, and yet there is a burst of affirmation of faith in God, hope, and confidence. What happened for this pivot? Why does it happen? What does it do to the one that is lamenting? - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, September 3, 2023

Lamentations 2 - we will look at both the LORD's anger and Jeremiah's grief. Why was God so angry to the point of turning on His people? At what point does our sin, not be covered by grace but move into the orbit of God's anger, punishment, etc.? - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, August 27, 2023

Lamentations 1 - This lament is about Jerusalem, the city of God, having been decimated and its people who are Yahweh's taken into captivity. How could this happen? Where was God in it? We will look into how the writer works with multiple thoughts and yet comes out with clarity as to who is behind all of this. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, August 20, 2023

Matthew 28:17 says that they worshipped him, but some doubted! I will preach on the place of doubt in our faith and what counters that in grounding our beliefs. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, August 13, 2023

Matt 27 - we will look at Jesus' quiet acceptance of insult, abuse, etc. Why would someone today follow that example, or shouldn't we? We will consider a biblical principle of suffering, persecution, etc. without resistance. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, August 6, 2023

In Matthew 26, you find Jesus going through different emotions - sadness, thankfulness, being troubled, etc. I'll touch on the reality of life - circumstances you can't control, and responding to them with the right perspective. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, July 30, 2023
