    The Jews were taken into captivity for the second and final time in Babylonia in 586 BC. Just eleven years earlier, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, had taken the first captives from Jerusalem.

    Our Senior Pastor, Dr. Randy Cheek, preaches a Thanksgiving sermon entitled, "Thank You, Lord," from Luke 17:11-19 - the story of the ten lepers who came to Jesus and only one came back to say, "Thank you, Lord!" But, something happened to this "foreigner" - this Samaritan who came back to Jesus. Listen as Dr. Randy shares exactly what the Scriptures say. Before our Pastor preaches, listen to his niece, Miss Kristen Brantley, as she sings two songs: (1) "Let it Be Jesus" and (2) "At the Cross (Love Ran Red)." Your heart will be blessed by Kristen's heart. Have a wonderful THANKSGIVING!

    The people of Isaiah's 8th Century BC were about to face some of their greatest persecution - at the hands of the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Though over 100 years in the future, the only thing that would alter God's judgment would be the repentance of God's people. The folks had forsaken God and had turned to crafting their own idols. Matter of fact, some of these idols were so small that they were packing up in the "trunks" to take with them!! Isaiah, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wanted the people of God to understand that God in CHANGELESS! He is the same past, present and future! Unlike their idols that rot over time, God would never leave them or forsake them. Dr. Randy shares his continuing series about Isaiah with a sermon entitled, "Four Absolute Attributes of God," from Isaiah 46:4. Prior to the message, Keith Barnes, our Director of Music Ministries, sings the solo, "Letters from War," in honor of our veterans. There is a video presentation being shown as Keith sings. You can see this presentation at: http://www.olivesprings.org/files/veteran_s_day_2014_movie.mp4 As you listen, may your heart be renewed to hear, once again, of constancy of GOD! Thank you so much for listening.

    With the pen if the prophet Isaiah, God wrote such words of comfort to the people of God in captivity in Babylon through King Nebuchadnezzar. Yet, with Isaiah's words in Chapter 40, the reader must understand that the events he is talking about are as yet to happen! The prophet FORTHTOLD what was about to happen. He was giving God's message to God's people. Such action was not a possibility! IT WAS A FACT! Despite such horror of exile in Babylon, God would never forsake His people. Though Babylon was sent as judgement on their sin and disobedience, God's tender word was COMFORT. The word in Hebrew means just to take a deep breath as you relax in the fact that God is Sovereign - He is in complete control! Oh, how we need to hear that message in these days of the 21st Century! Listen as Dr. Randy shares the context of these words for the believers of Judah during those days as well as the believers at Olive Springs right now! Thank you so much for listening! And, should you believe this message by our Senior Pastor will be of help to others, please be sure to share it! GOD BLESS YOU!

Almost 800 years before the coming of Jesus Christ to this earth, Isaiah FORTHTOLD his coming and what He would do! The Messiah would, one day, wipe away all the tears from our eyes - the pain of exile from Babylon would one day be "wiped away" FOREVER! Listen as Dr. Randy preaches this message about how those tears wiped way are described in God's Word! Be blessed and encouraged today is our prayer as you listen to our Senior Pastor's message!
