The Bible tells us that God is close to the broken hearted, and the Holy

Spirit is called by Jesus ‘the comforter’. One of the great things we can

do as a prophetic people is mediate God’s comfort and hope to a broken

world. Jeremiah’s words of comfort have been applied and brought

re-assurance to millions of people since they were first recorded. How do

we unlock the power of comfort and hope in our world today

We challenge and confront people we love. Jeremiah’s love for his people

reflects the love of God for his chosen ‘bride’ as He calls the Jewish

nation. The confrontation is strong however! What gives us the authority to

confront and how do we do it appropriately?

Jeremiah lived through the final years of the nation of Judah from the era

of the decline of Assyrian power through to the Babylonian captivity of the

Jewish people. He was as a young man when called, and lived through the

reigns of four kings (from Josiah to Zedekiah) over a turbulent forty-year

period.  What can we learn about Jeremiah's calling to respond in a time of

crisis?

Whose is it anyway?

The Bible has a lot to say about good stewardship. Why is getting to grips with this topic fundamental to discipleship and a life of faith? What does God have to say about ownership, responsibility, accountability and reward?

God speaks to us in many ways 1. through creation (Rom 1v20), 2. through

scripture (2 Tim 3v14-17), 3. through Jesus - the word made flesh (John

1v1-2, 14, Hebrews 1v1-3), 4. through the Sprit (prophecy)

The Bible is God's written word to us. Do we feel confident in how to read

and apply it? Giving personal example, show how God's word revives the

soul, brings wisdom for living, gives joy to the heart and gives guidance,

lighting our path in life (Psalm 19v7-11). How do we apply the promises of

God from the Bible in our lives (2 Cor 1v20)?
