Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Sam Wirgau, pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ossian, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Jeremiah 48:11-47. The oracle against Moab continues on account of his great pride. The worship of the idol, Chemosh, is condemned and punished as calamity comes upon Moab. Yet the LORD does not delight in the death of the sinner; He works for repentance and faith. The entire land of Moab will be laid waste by the Babylonians, and the Moabites will mourn in their pagan ways. The LORD’s Word through His prophet Jeremiah calls the Moabites to recognize that this destruction is not a chance of history, but that it is the LORD’s doing. As the people of Chemosh, Moab has no hope for anything but death or captivity. Yet the LORD would call them to be His people through repentance and faith and promises them restoration through the coming Savior, Jesus, whose family tree includes the Moabitess, Ruth. “A Time to Destroy and a Time to Build” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Jeremi
