God and His Enemies

In our series of sermons taken from Jonah and Nahum we have finished Jonah and have also examined the period between the minsitry of Jonah and Nahum, and today we begin our exposition of the book of the prophecy of Nahum as God speaks against Nineveh. Our text this morning was Nahum 1:1-3, which reads:

The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. God is jealous, and the LORD avenges; the LORD avenges and is furious. The LORD will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies; the LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked. The LORD has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

From this text we have found answers to the following questions:

How does God relate to His adversaries and enemies?
Does He redeem His enemies?
What does the Bible mean when it tells us that God is a jealous God?
What is the wrath of God?

So to hear the answers to these questions and the application of this text to our daily task of preaching the gospel with out lips and our lives, listen for free (or download for later) the 9th message in this series titled God and His Enemies.
