"Preach The Word"

THE WAY TO ZION

Text: Jer.50:4,5

Introduction:

These words concern a people who were tired of sin. They had strayed from God and were interested in coming back to Him.

I.  THE CITY DESIRED "Zion"

    A.  Zion can be a type of heaven, rest and peace.
    B.  Zion can be a type of God's house, or the place of worship.
    C.  Zion is a place of protection and shelter.
    D.  Salvation is all these things to the lost sinner--heaven, rest,            peace, worship, and protection.

II. THE TIME SLATED "In that time"

    A. It was a time of trouble (Read the whole chapter).
    B. It was a time of drifting (lost sheep v.6).
    C. It was a time of sin ("they have sinned-v.7).

III. THE RESOLUTION OFFERED "Seek the Lord"

    A.  "Let us join ourselves to the Lord."
    B.  "Seek the Lord."
   

IV. THE METHOD SUGGESTED "Facing home"

    A.  It was an attitude of contrition (weeping).
    B.  It was an attitude of prayer (ask the way to Zion).

The only way to seek the Lord is in humility, contrition, determination and prayer.  It will get results
