Why is the World Upside Down? | Sermon on Lamentations 4

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart? In this powerful sermon on Lamentations 4, we explore the deep parallels between the moral and spiritual collapse of ancient Jerusalem and the confusion, injustice, and chaos we see in our world today.

Why are those who do good often punished, while those who do evil are celebrated or excused? Why does society seem to reward wickedness and ignore righteousness? This message reveals how turning away from God leads to societal breakdown—and how even the church is not exempt. Join us as we dig into Scripture to understand:

  • The spiritual decline described in Lamentations 4
  • How our modern world reflects similar patterns of sin and judgment
  • Why the rejection of God’s ways leads to confusion and injustice
  • The urgent need for repentance, especially within the church
  • How we can realign our lives with God’s truth and righteousness

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.
