THis sermon comes from Lamentaitons 3:22-27 and is taken from Jeremiah's wonderful statement that "the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases."

This sermon comes from Exodus 5:1-6:1 and it is about the conflict between Pharaoh (Thutmose III) and the people of Israel who were being held captive in Egypt. The sermon contrasts the demands of Pharaoh against the laws given by God to Israel in the Ten Commandments. The premise of the sermon is that the laws that God gives us to govern our lives as his people are far lighter and benevolent toward us than the onerous commands of Pharaoh.
