Lamentations 3: The Path Back to God Through Repentance

Have you ever done something so bad to someone else that you’ve thought, “there’s no way back from this”? Tragically, some relationships do end with people never speaking to one another again. But if that’s the case with human relationships, how much more so with a holy God? In this passage from Lamentations we’re going to think about the way back called repentance.

Whatever became of sin? – Lamentations 1 Sermon

It’s human nature to want to blame everybody else for our problems. This is doubly true in our society today, where everything is psychologised.

In the first of this sermon series on Lamentations, we take a look into the darkest moment in Israel’s history to see what we can learn.
