Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our new series on Jeremiah.

Jeremiah is hard and uncomfortable. It shows us a God who judges sin and allows sometimes brutal consequences.

And for many of us, that feels strange because we love the picture of Jesus as merciful, compassionate, and welcoming of children.

But Jeremiah forces us to wrestle with the questions: Is that the same God? Or are we seeing something different?

Spoiler: it's the same story and the same God, just a different moment in the story. Let's dive into how it all fits together.
