This act of remembering serves as a strong deterrent to apostasy and a powerful encouragement to faith. The command to anamimnesko is a call to continually recall the advantages, actions, and accounting of their faith journey, truth by truth and event by event.

Preaching With Passion
0PSA 41:1MAT 5:7MAT 18:33LUK 10:37HEB 2:17J. Hamilton preaches on the beatitude 'Blessed are the merciful,' emphasizing that true mercy is not just about being kind or soft-hearted, but about actively seeking to alleviate the suffering and wrongs of others. Mercy is a divine quality brought by Christ from heaven, not natural to the human heart, and is an essential aspect of Christian character. The merciful are those who show forgiveness, pity, and compassion to those in need, reflecting the love and mercy of God. Hamilton highlights the importance of personal contact with sorrow and suffering to nurture and express mercy, and how mercy is a response to sin, suffering, ignorance, and infirmities, seeking to mend brokenness and alleviate pain.
Cross: Pardon by the Cross
0MAT 7:15ACT 20:321TH 2:32TI 2:142PE 2:6Greek Word Studies preaches on the concept of 'ruin' (katastrophe), which signifies total destruction and turning things upside down. This state of ruin can be seen in the downfall of cities like Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as in the spiritual corruption and perversion of individuals. Engaging in word battles and controversies can lead to catastrophic outcomes, turning people away from the truth and causing harm to believers. The antidote to such ruinous behavior is found in focusing on the word of God's grace, which builds up and edifies the hearers.

Believers are urged to worship God in spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and not place confidence in outward privileges or physical appearances.
True Love Waits on God
0DAN 9:27MAT 13:39MAT 24:3MAT 28:20HEB 9:26The preacher delves into the concept of 'sunteleia,' meaning completion or consummation, as a term rich in eschatological significance used in both the Old and New Testaments to describe the end of the age.

The sermon explores how 'sunteleia' is intricately tied to the final events of history and the ultimate fulfillment of God's purposes.

Morgan illustrates that worship is initiated by God's self-revelation, prompting man to lay bare his soul and offer praise.

Jeremiah's persistent call for repentance amidst persecution reflects God's deep sorrow for His people's rebellion, while also proclaiming hope for restoration.
