Messages That Matter By Dr. Andrew Corbett

So many people are looking for meaning and purpose in life, yet unable to find it. In the time of Jeremiah the Prophet, Southern Israel was under siege. They faced almost certain doom by the hands of Babylonians. Jeremiah had an extremely counter-intuitive message for his people at this time. This message of 'surrendering your life to God' in order to 'find yourself' is still true today. Here's why...

The story of an Ethiopian soldier caught in battle by his enemies, who is then castrated, becomes the hero and a model of manliness in the story of Jeremiah The Prophet. There were many men during this time who had all their masculine faculties (unlike the Ethiopian, Ebed-Melech), yet they did not possess the same level of manhood courage that this eunuch, Ebed-Melech had. Manliness is thus more than the sum of your testosterone levels! Listen to this presentation to discover the attributes of a real man.

Have you ever felt like you're in a dark pit with no way out? Jeremiah did. This is his story.

Would you want to hear from God? What if God offered to speak directly to you, would you really want to hear from Him? This actually happened to someone, and when it did, they no longer wanted to hear from God again! This episode is described in the Book of Jeremiah. "Is There Any Word From The Lord?" the King asked Jeremiah. This is Part 107 of our Jeremiah Series.

During the days of Jeremiah The Prophet, just as in our present day, there were false prophets who pretended to be in God's will, who told people what they wanted to hear. This is from the Jeremiah Series (Part 106) - Do Not Deceive Yourselves - REVIVAL MIGHT NOT BE COMING! The lessons from this section of Jeremiah are remarkably applicable for today.

After attempting to destroy the Word of God by throwing it in a fire, the King of Judah is confronted with a message and a prophet that could not be silenced! This episode within the story of the Book of Jeremiah reveals how powerfully God will preserve His Word. Listen to this and discover why the Bible is no ordinary book!

There is a story in the Book of Jeremiah where a king is so upset by the words of the Bible that he orders it to be burned. And when he did he lit a flame in the hearts of people to read God's Word that has never been extinguished! Isn't it strange that millions of people have been comforted by the Word of God yet so many have wanted to destroy it? In this, Episode 104 of the Jeremiah Series, we explore some of these issues.

Based on the friendship between the Old Testament Prophet Jeremiah and his scribal colleague, Baruch, this presentation looks at how God encourages those who dare to serve Him and uphold His Word. This is part 103 in the Jeremiah Series and is also available on DVD.

Australia is about to begin a national public debate about the nature of marriage. The conservative case for marriage is often stereo-typed and ridiculed in the mainstream media and rarely, if ever, receives a fair hearing. Far from being about hate or bigotry, the case for complementary-gender marriage is actually about civility and compassion. Here's five really good reasons for why marriage is something in particular not anything we want it to be.

Church is not meant to be a routine. Coming to Church SHOULD be an occasion when we meet with God, experience His presence, and be open to hearing His voice. But sometimes those who hear from God are the ones made to be unwelcome in Church. This was the case with Jeremiah the Prophet during his life. And there are some serious lessons for all pastors today!

Discover the secret to finding healing for your soul today in these ancient words of wisdom.

At a time when the people of Jerusalem were openly defying God and His Word, God tells Jeremiah to go to the Rechabites and note their obedience and honour to their founder. He is told to declare to Jerusalem the story of the Rechabites and challenge his fellow Jews to consider how they might learn from the Rechabites - especially if they wanted to live a blessed life!
