Jeremiah 12:2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. These people were so blessed by God. They were seeing God’s blessings and enjoying them. They talked about loving God but it wasn’t from their heart, […]

Against themselves
Jeremiah 11:17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. God has pronounced evil against them but it is really […]
Brutish pastors
Jeremiah 10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, And have not sought the LORD: Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered. God’s men, the shepherds that were supposed to serve Him are not even seeking after Him. They are off doing their own thing. They somehow have forgotten that they […]
God never thought of it
Jeremiah 7:31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. The people were sacrificing their sons and daughters to their false gods. This […]
Everybody is doing wrong
Jeremiah 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. All of God’s people were doing wrong from the least to the men of God. No one was seeking after God. Money and […]
First Service in the New Building Brings New Member
Bethany Staley This past Sunday we were excited to have our first service in our new location! During this service we were blessed to have Bethany Staley join our church. Bethany has been working extremely hard the past couple of years in the church while training for missions at the Our Generation Training Center. She […]
Sin is holding you back
Jeremiah 5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. God has great things for His people but if we choose sin over Him then we suffer the consequences. I think that we see sin as small while God is telling us that much of the junk […]
God’s foolish people
Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; They are sottish children, and they have none understanding: They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. They are foolish because they have not known God. The fool says in his heart that there is no God. […]
Pastors that feed their people
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. God is promising His people, Israel, that one day He will give them pastors that feed them. A pastor that will feed God’s people is a pastor that God loves. God will give Israel that […]
God’s people forget Him
Jeremiah 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. A young lady that is going to get married would have a hard time forgetting something like that. The bride is constantly thinking of her bridal dress and all the trimmings. God understands […]
You choose and He will choose
Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, And will bring their fears upon them; Because when I called, none did answer; When I spake, they did not hear: But they did evil before mine eyes, And chose that in which I delighted not. God is going to choose their delusions. He will cause them […]
You chose
Isaiah 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, And ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: Because when I called, ye did not answer; When I spake, ye did not hear; But did evil before mine eyes, And did choose that wherein I delighted not. God is going to send discipline, punishment, […]
God has so much more for us
Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, Neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, What he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Men never understand how good and great God is. We have never even considered or thought about it. […]

Praising God for all His goodness
Isaiah 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, According to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, And according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. Isaiah wants […]
Israel blessed again
Isaiah 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; Neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: But thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, And thy land Beulah: For the LORD delighteth in thee, And thy land shall be married. Israel had sinned against God. This sin had caused them to suffer greatly. They had […]
Transformed
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. We were dressed […]
Jesus, the Lord, will be the light forever
Isaiah 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; Neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: But the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, And thy God thy glory. Amazingly, we see this same truth taught in the New Testament. There will be no need of the […]
Sin separates
Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, And your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. God’s people were living in sin and rebellion. For this reason God was not answering their prayers. Their sin had caused them to walk away from and lose the […]
No peace
Isaiah 57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. The wicked are all those that are still in their sins. You are still in your sins if you have not repented and turned to Christ. Wicked describes those that have not trusted Christ as their Savior. Wicked is one that thinks that […]
Sinners who do not deserve forgiveness
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; And the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. All of us, all men, have sinned. We have all done what we wanted, what we thought was right. We have made ourselves our own […]
He suffered horribly for us
Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; His visage was so marred more than any man, And his form more than the sons of men: Jesus was God in human flesh. He submitted Himself to be made a man. He was 100% man while being 100% God. He really did feel the pain. He […]
Listen to God and not man
Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law; Fear ye not the reproach of men, Neither be ye afraid of their revilings. We that know Him and His righteousness are to listen to Him. He has saved us. He has made us righteous. He has changed […]
God helped Jesus
Isaiah 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, And my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 7 For the Lord GOD will help me; Therefore shall I not be confounded: Therefore have I set my face like a flint, And I know that […]
He told them to prove a point
Isaiah 48:5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; Before it came to pass I shewed it thee: Lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. I love this. God told them what was going to happen before it happened […]
You are not alone.
Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; And thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. This verse talks about how wicked people think that they are alone. They can do what they […]
A God that is truly alive
Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times the things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah is showing the difference in the God of heaven and these gods made with hands. The gods made with hands know nothing. God […]
Idol makers are so foolish
Isaiah 44:19 And none considereth in his heart, Neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; Yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: And shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? Shall I fall down […]
He is everything
Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, And spirit to them that walk therein: When God speaks just remember who He is. He is […]
He is beyond understanding
Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, That the everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. God is everlasting. That is impossible for us to understand. When did He begin, never. When will He end, […]
Selfish and indulgent
Isaiah 39:8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days. God sends word to Hezekiah that he has made a horrible mistake because he showed all he had to an enemy. Then Isaiah tells […]
Set your house in order
Isaiah 38:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. What a warning. Set your house in order because you are about to die. […]
Persuading men to trust God
Isaiah 36:18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? I love the warning. The enemy, who hated God, warned them to be careful of Hezekiah, God’s man. He just might persuade […]
