Midweek - Jeremiah - 08 - A Balm In Gilead - Chapter 8
A Sunday morning sermon from pastor James T. Egan titled "Is There No Balm in Gilead?"
Part two of two in our mini-series "Balm in Gilead." We will discover in this series how much God rejects sin. Even from people who claim to be His followers and worshipers.
This is the first in a mini-series out of the book of Jeremiah. Balm in Gilead exemplifies how relevant God's Word is to us today! Please join us.
A question asked of old has application today. Through God and Christ, we can be soothed and healed from the spiritual illness of sin. There IS a balm available today. Let’s look at this beautiful text.
The fearful havoc which sin has made is never seen nor felt until the soul is quickened into spiritual life. O what work does sin then make in the conscience, when it is opened up by the Spirit of God- Whatever superficial or shallow views we may have had of sin before, it is only as its desperate and malignant character is opened up by the Holy Spirit that it is really seen, felt, grieved under, and mourned over as indeed a most dreadful and fearful reality. It is this sword of the Spirit which cuts and wounds- it is this entrance of life and light that gashes the conscience- it is this divine work which lacerates the heart and inflicts those deep wounds which nothing but the -balm in Gilead- can heal.
