Lamentations—Great Is Your Faithfulness
Imagine a funeral for an entire city. That's pretty close to what is described in the book of Lamentations—the next stop in Pastor LePage's overview of each book of the Bible called His Story—from Genesis to Revelation. This funeral is not only one of the most significant historical events in the entire Old Testament era, but it is also one of the most instructive. It's not a cheerful, light-hearted message, but potentially life-changing.
Jeremiah—To The Potter’s House
In our series of messages called His Story—from Genesis to Revelation, we have come to Jeremiah. Though Jeremiah ministered to specific people in a specific place at a specific time, his message has serious implications for the people of our place and time. Jeremiah focuses on the worst sin of all—from God's perspective—while giving hope by introducing a very important aspect of Jesus' ministry—the New Covenant. Jeremiah's message was designed to spark revival in the hearts of the listener, but the original listeners rejected, beat and tried to kill the messenger! How will we react to this provocative message? How will you react?
Isaiah—Here Am I, Send Me
Some have called him the "Shakespeare of the prophets" because of his impressive use of language. Others have called Isaiah's 66 chapters the "Mount Everest of Hebrew prophecy," because it gives the reader such a lofty view of God. Isaiah is one of the most loved books of the Old Testament—and no wonder: His prophecies about the Christ are numerous and clear and explicit. Christians should know this book well because Isaiah is quoted in the New Testament more than any other prophet. Chapter 53 alone is quoted or alluded to at least 85 times! In this message, Pastor LePage continues his series
entitled His Story—From Genesis to Revelation with a look at this first book among the Major Prophets.
The Prophets—How Will We Know?
"How will we know...?" A long time ago, when God announced that He would send His people prophets from time to time, He guessed that they would ask that question: "How will we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?" In other words, how will we know if the prophet is truly from God or not? How can we know today? So many people claim to speak for God—for the God of the Bible! How can we know whether they are true or false prophets? Let's explore these questions together.
The Prophets—Men of Understanding
Did you know that at least 25% of your Bible was prophetic when it was written? In other words, prophecy makes up a huge part of the Bible and it can't be ignored. We must be as careful studying these sections of the Bible as we are about any other. This message is designed to help you understand these important sections of your Bible.
The Prophets—Thus says the Lord!
How do you picture the prophets of the Old Testament? Crazy men? Do you know their message? Do you know why they preached what they preached? Listen to this overview of one of the most unread parts of the Bible: "The Prophets". These seventeen books contain some of the most beautiful and yet challenging passages in all the Bible. And, the principles for living are still highly relevant for us today. This message is part of a series of messages entitled His Story—from Genesis to Revelation.
