Our Sunday Morning Message for December 15, 2024

​

                                       "The Good Thing"

                                       Text: Jeremiah 33: 14-16

                                         

​Our Sunday morning messages are topical in nature. As pastor, I try to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in the messages I preach. They vary on many subjects from both the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. However, regardless of my text, my goal is to explain the text by comparing scripture with scripture. My method of preaching is expository in nature with the attempt to explain each verse according to the context. I am a slave to the text. Wherever the text leads me that will be my focus.      

 

It is my goal that my congregation in our Sunday morning service walk away understanding the Word of God as the Holy Spirit directs me as their pastor.

​

In this message, we see "The Good Thing That God Has Promised."  Jeremiah prophesied that a greater king is coming, one that is better than King David or King Solomon. These Jews are in bondage in Babylon, and they are cynical, faithless, and bitter. Jeremiah says, "Hang on! Do Not Give Up! Things are going to get better for the King of Kings is coming." Jeremiah is speaking of Jesus Christ when He comes the second time to set up his Kingdom here on earth. This "Good Thing" begins in a manager in Bethlehem on Christmas Day. In this text, we see three things God promises:(1.) Promise,

(2) Person, and (3) Peace. The Lord promises in those days, "Judah shall be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely."

 

I encourage you to listen to this message in it's entirety as I try to walk you through the meaning of this text. May this message encourage you as it did those who attended our morning service.
