Every Last Word

What would the church be like if Christians understood that this post-Christian culture is about to be set aflame by the wrath of God? What would our witness be like if we saw the spiritual condition of unsaved family and friends as it actually is? What if we accepted personal responsibility and helped snatch them from the fire?

Jeremiah 39:1-18

When you suffer, it should not come as a surprise, especially if you suffer for the sake of Christ. However, alongside the pain, do you sense His compassion? Do you experience the sympathy of the Holy Spirit to comfort you in grief?

Jeremiah 38:14-28

News of divine judgment is never pleasing to hear. In the prophet Jeremiah’s day, speaking this message cost him some significant time in a cistern or what we know as a pit. This raises the question of, “How much are we willing to suffer for the sake of staying true to God’s message?”

Jeremiah 38:1-13

True followers of Christ are never half-hearted. His real disciples embrace God’s Word and all it teaches. You will not become the pure bride of Christ by flirting with the Gospel. You must listen, believe, and live out the Word of God.

Jeremiah 37:1-21

Do you think about why the word of God has power? The pages of scripture reflect the personality and experiences of each of the authors. And the endurance of the Bible attests to remarkable, at times miraculous, preservation. But while Satan works to prevent the production, translation, and proclamation of God’s Word, he completely and utterly fails. That’s because the ultimate author is the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 36:1-32

There is a stark contrast between promise-breaking and promise-keeping. Promise-keeping means keeping your word, no matter what. So with that in mind, when we do make a promise, it should be about something that matters.

Jeremiah 35:1-19

Breaking a covenant promise is a serious thing. Whether it’s between two friends, a business partner, or our spouse, we’re breaking a promise to God. When we do that, we bring on God’s rebuke. And when we repent, we gain forgiveness and mercy.

Jeremiah 34:1-22

If you were to ask the average person what they think about God – someone at your office, your classroom, or a friend in your neighborhood – most likely, the word on the street is that God has failed. A quick look around at the very real problems in the world – poverty, war, disease, corruption – all tell a story of decline. And if that were the whole story, we’d likely agree God has failed. But that’s not the whole story.

Jeremiah 33:17-26

The promise of the Old Testament is for a savior. We see it in Genesis, Exodus, and Isaiah. And through the reminder of weddings, thanksgivings, and even farming, it’s also shown to us in the book of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 33:10-16

Many people just want what they deserve – at least they think they do. Until they stop and examine their good deeds and see that even those acts do not measure up. And if truth be told, what they really deserve is punishment, not reward.
