Bro. Rick Moore – Pastor – Fountain City Baptist Church
Zephaniah 3:1-7 KJV
1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
2 She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God.
3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.
5 The Lord within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.
6 “I have destroyed nations; their strongholds are demolished. I have left their streets deserted, with no one passing through. Their cities are laid waste; they are deserted and empty.
7 Of Jerusalem I thought, ‘Surely you will fear me and accept correction!’ Then her place of refuge[a] would not be destroyed, nor all my punishments come upon[b] her. But they were still eager
to act corruptly in all they did.
Message: ”Make A Change – Turn Around”
- Disobedience – “She obeyed not the voice”
- Disregard – “She received not correction”
- Disbelief – “She trusted not in the Lord”
- Distance – “She drew not near her God”
