Sermon Notes from Nahum 1:1-8, "An Avenging God of Mercy (2)" by Tray Earnhart

[The following notes were taken at the 10:45AM service this morning at Kosmosdale Baptist Church. The audio should soon be available to hear on-line HERE. Last week, Tray focused on seeing God in His wrath from Nahum 1:1-6; this week, Tray focused on Nahum 1:7-8.]

I. Nahum 1:7
A. The LORD is good.
B. The LORD is a stronghold.
C. The LORD knows His people:
1. (Cross-reference: John 10.)
2. The LORD not only knows His people, but He takes pleasure in His people (Psa 147).
D. The statements about God in this passage are in direct contrast with what we know about Man; God alone is good and a stronghold.

II. Nahum 1:8
A. The tsunami: an analogy of what God's wrath.
B. Those who do not take refuge in God will face utter destruction.
C. (Cross-reference: Rev 21:8.)
