The Bible often speaks in terms of nations: national sin, national judgment, and national blessing. This, however, might be hard for many of us to think about or relate to in our modern, individualistic Western world. In this sermon, we explore Nahum's prophecy regarding the fall of ancient Assyria and encounter timeless biblical principles about how God interacts with nations as nations.
Nahum 1:1-15
Most people have a sense that they need something for God to revive them. But it’s just not clear what that something is. Today’s passage looks at the heart of a revival that began under a king named Josiah. From him we learn that it’s the impact of God’s Word, and in particular the attitude with which we respond to it, that brings the grace that we need to see God’s revival in our lives.
Is there a connection between the faith of the people and the condition of the church building where they worship? What value should the church place on its buildings? Should we just worry about the people and forget about the bricks? This message looks at the place of buildings in the plan of God and the revival of His people and corrects the misconceptions people have both sides of this topic.
Worship is the first and primary area where God expects to see our response to His love. And yet we often bring Him worship leftovers. We give our devotion to the world and assume that God will be happy with a better-than-nothing offering of our lives. This message examines the anatomy of worship leftovers and God’s antidote to it.
