When we awake in the morning, sometimes the heartache we carry is already too much to bear. In his day, Jeremiah’s eyes were full of tears as he prophesied the righteous judgment of God against a rebellious Jerusalem. Through his sorrow, he declared the mercies of God.

Are you distressed by our nation’s destruction? Jesus looked upon Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, weeping over its coming destruction.

What makes us think that God can only bless, and not judge, our country? Those who lived in Jerusalem never thought God would bring them to account, since this was where His Temple stood. In this message, we explore lessons for our church and nation from Lamentations. When Jeremiah foresaw the terrible hand of God’s judgment, he rightly wept.

When the judgment of God falls, what we hold dear is often laid to waste. The city of Jerusalem with its temple was sacked by invading armies, acting under God’s ultimate plan.

We far too easily gloss over the terrifying nature of God. When Jeremiah proclaimed the coming judgment of God, his fellow Israelites paid him no heed. What will we do today? In this message, we explore further lessons of both warning and encouragement for the people of God in a nation under judgment. Let’s point people to a greater country, to another city, whose builder and maker is God.

Throughout history, all kinds of people have suffered for standing against the culture’s immorality. Jeremiah’s warnings to Judah were disregarded so the people paid a great price.

When nation-wide events seem out of control, we need clear perspective as the people of God. Israel couldn’t see God’s purposes in allowing their nation to be invaded. Just as they were taken into captivity, America may soon feel that same wrath. In this message, we’ll begin an examination of Jeremiah’s interviews with the king of Judah with three indictments against the people’s sin.

God is sovereign, not only in our lives but also over the nations. God’s call to ancient Judah is the same as His call to America: repent of your sins and return to the God of your fathers. Clay on the potter’s wheel cannot control its destiny. Yet we think we can tell the Potter what to do. In this message, we’ll consider life-transforming lessons for us as a nation and even as individuals.
