The Sermon, "Attributes of the Almighty: Lesson 6 God is Faithful," discusses the concept of God's unwavering faithfulness, contrasting it with the frequent broken promises in human experience (0:17). Pastor Ryan uses the book of Lamentations, written by Jeremiah, as a primary example to illustrate God's faithfulness even in the darkest of times (2:02).
Here's a breakdown of the key points:
• Context of Lamentations: The book of Lamentations was written by Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," during one of Israel's darkest periods, following the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC (2:52-3:12). Jeremiah witnessed immense suffering, including the city being burned, the temple destroyed, and people being killed or enslaved (3:04-3:12). Despite this devastation and his personal grief, Jeremiah recalled God's steadfastness, proclaiming, "Great is your faithfulness" (5:33-6:11). This highlights that God's faithfulness is true even when circumstances are dire (6:52-7:14).
• God's Faithfulness Never Changes: Unlike people, circumstances, or seasons of life, God remains constant (8:13-8:23). Pastor Ryan references Hebrews 13:8, stating that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (8:23-8:32). This unchanging nature of God means the hope Jeremiah had is available to everyone today (8:44-8:54). God's promises do not expire and are as reliable as the sunrise (9:10-9:41).
• God's Faithfulness Has Been Proven: God has kept every promise he made throughout the Bible, such as promising Abraham a son, delivering Israel, and sending a savior (10:01-10:21). The preacher encourages listeners to reflect on how God's faithfulness has sustained them in their own lives (10:21-10:34), even during times of doubt or perceived spiritual failure (12:25-13:39). God's record is described as "perfect" (13:49-14:00).
• God's Faithfulness Gives Hope for the Future: Even amidst overwhelming life challenges, God's faithfulness provides hope (14:13-14:39). Philippians 1:6 is cited, assuring that God will complete the good work he has started in believers (14:41-14:49). This means God doesn't give up on his children, and his faithfulness ensures continued hope for the future (15:01-15:42).
• Practical Applications of God's Faithfulness:
• When feeling alone: Remember God is faithful to be with you, as stated in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave you or forsake you" (15:57-16:26).
• When tempted: God is faithful to provide a way of escape from temptation (16:28-17:02), referencing 1 Corinthians 10:13.
• When doubting the future: God is faithful to guide you (17:14-17:22). Proverbs 3:5-6 advises trusting in the Lord with all your heart for direction (17:22-17:33).
The sermon concludes by reiterating that even when friends fail or life changes, God never breaks his promises, encouraging listeners to remember His great faithfulness in moments of doubt (18:47-19:35).
