Damascus was a prosperous city devoted to Jerusalem’s destruction. It was a beautiful, wealthy and popular city yet both Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied of its destruction.

Esau and Israel shared the same father but became national enemies. God declared that Edom would be judged for it’s wickedness. Wickedness which could be traced back to a place of envy Esau harboured towards Israel.

The Ammonites came from unfortunate origins. Like his older brother Moab, Ammon was shown favour by God yet he mocked Israel and the God of Israel. God’s response was not to just punish Ammon but to reveal himself to them.

Sometimes the most broken people are the most successful. Moab enjoyed ease & prosperity and had grown proud and hard-hearted. Even though Moab had experienced God’s favour for centuries they never sought his approval, yet God continually reached out to Moab.

For Israel, God was in their foreground. But for Moab, God was in their background. Even though God showed Moab his favour, Moab never invited God into their foreground. Moab confused the reason for God's favour and convinced itself that God was not the cause. Moab's confidence was in the wrong things. Where is your confidence?

Paul's epistle to the Colossians addresses one of the earliest errors which attempted to infiltrate Christianity: Gnosticism. This error claimed that Christ was not divine and salvation was achieved by observing certain ascetic rules. As Paul corrects this erroneous teaching, he leaves us a legacy of profound insight into the identity of Christ and how we are to live well. This is Session 10 of 10...

Because Israel had turned their backs on God and the covenant they had made with Him, they would soon experience the consequences that Jeremiah had reminded them of from the Mosaic Law.

Jeremiah's warnings have been rejected and ignored by the people and leaders of Jerusalem around the turn of the 7th century. The abhorrent behaviour was exploiting the vulnerable, and for this, the prophet indicted them with guilt. Yet, Jeremiah could look forward to the time when God would establish a New Covenant through Christ.

Jeremiah's warnings were clear, validated, and credible - yet the leaders and people of Jerusalem ignored them - to their lamentable peril.

Jeremiah prophesied a warning to Israel that they had broken the conditions of the Old Covenant and as such were in peril of reaping its consequences. But if they would return to the Lord they could avert this disaster and enjoy quiet ease. Would they listen to him?

Jeremiah the Prophet is the second major prophet of the Old Testament. His book is an amazing declaration of God's ability to use a person to speak to people, and nations.

Life is a constant invitation to make decisions. To make good decisions is about gaining the necessary wisdom. There is guidance in the Book of Proverbs.

The prophecies of Jeremiah are among some of the most convincing proofs for the God of the Bible. His life and prophecies are undisputed. The fulfilment of prophecies within his life are beyond historical dispute. His prophecies about the coming Messiah were remarkably fulfilled in the person and life of Jesus of Nazareth. This is Part 148 in the Jeremiah Series.

Life is constant invitation to make decisions. To make good decisions, it's not so much about gaining more information as much as it's about gaining the necessary wisdom. Our pursuit of this is helped by the guidance given in the Book of Proverbs.

In order to make better decisions, you need wisdom. Here's what the Scriptures say about how to find it, obtain it, and use it.

If you want to improve your decision making ability - you need wisdom. Proverbial wisdom explores the truths contained in the Biblical Book of Proverbs.
