Woe October 26, 2025 Woe Sermon Series: Nahum Download PDF Nahum 3:1-19 1 Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and plunder—no end to the prey! 2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot! 3 Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, hosts of slain, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end—they stumble over the bodies! 4 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her whorings, and peoples with her charms. 5 Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and will lift up your skirts over your face; and I will make nations look at your nakedness and kingdoms at your shame. 6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. 7 And all who look at you will shrink from you and say, “Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her? ”Where shall I seek comforters for you? 8 Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, and water her wall? 9 Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity; her infants were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains. 11 You also will be drunken; you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy. 12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with first-ripe figs—if shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater. 13 Behold, your troops are women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has devoured your bars. 14 Draw water for the siege; strengthen your forts; go into the clay; tread the mortar; take hold of the brick mold! 15 There will the fire devour you; the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper! 16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away. 17 Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold—when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are. 18 Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with none to gather them. 19 There is no easing your hurt; your wound is grievous. All who hear the news about you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil? Main Idea God’s “woe” reminds us that his judgement comes after patience, but with punishment. Outline 1. God’s woe punishes evil through displaying disgrace (Nahum 3:1-7) 2. God’s woe punishes evil by exposing foolishness (Nahum 3:8-17) 3. God’s woe punishes evil with final sentencing (Nahum 3:18-19) Discussion Questions Opening Questions What has been challenging as we studied Nahum together? What has been encouraging as we studied Nahum together? God’s woe punishes evil through displaying disgrace (1-7) When was a time where God took something you kept in the darkness and brought it into the light? This section talks about Ninevah’s legacy. What are one or two things you hope to leave as a part of your legacy? God’s woe punishes evil by exposing foolishness (8-17) This section is full of specific references to historical places and imagery that only makes sense in a specific geographical context. When you encounter passages like this, how do you make sense of them? Pastor Ryan shared that verse 13 is challenging to our modern times because of the gender disctinction it makes. Why is the push to see no distinction between men and women so destructive for societies? God’s woe punishes evil with final sentencing (18-19) In what ways do you see similarities between our country and Assyria? In what ways do you see differences? Why can we have hope today even when we read a book of judgment like Nahum? Looking Forward In the upcoming days and weeks, what is something you can commit to in light of everything you have learned from studying the Book of Nahum? Prayer Focus Pray for… The people of Peace Church to always study and apply the fullness of Scriptures, even the hard and ignored parts. The members of your community group to be able to walk together through life as it brings all its joys and challenges. The lost to be open to learning more about the reality of God’s judgment and the offer of grace through faith. All Christians to live more for Jesus so that He does not need to bring hidden sin to light. Yourself to better understand and live in light of the truth that God’s “woe” reminds us that his judgement comes after patience, but with punishment.

Sponsors Sponsors 2024 Conference Messages Maundy Thursday April 17 at 6:30 PM "Maundy" comes from the Latin word meaning "mandate. "At the Last Supper, Jesus gave His disciples a simple, yet powerful mandate: to love one another. In this special communion service, we will see how, during the Last Supper, Jesus brings about the great reversal, turning the law into love. We’ll reflect on how Christ fulfills His own commandment through His sacrificial death. We will have programming available for kids birth through 5th grade. Easter Sunday April 20 at 7:00 (Sunrise Service), 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM Easter is the great reversal—when Jesus went from death to life! The Gospel is our promise, and the Resurrection of Jesus is our guarantee that we can have not only salvation but eternal life. As we celebrate Jesus' victory over Satan, sin, and death, you are invited to join us this Easter to hear about and celebrate the Risen King, as we see how the Gospel bring us back to everything good. We will have programming available for kids birth through 5th grade. Good Friday April 18 at 5:30 and 7:00 PM Many would consider it horribly ironic that the day Jesus Christ was crucified is called Good Friday, but it is truly good because Christ's sacrifice makes our salvation not just possible, but secure. On Good Friday, we witness an incredible reversal: When many would see Jesus willingly dying on the cross as a surrender, it was actually an eternal victory over sin when He cries out, “It is finished.” We will have programming available for kids birth through 5th grade.
