Good Morning “Faithful”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 39.  Wow!  Just wow!  That’s my reaction each time I read of Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Jerusalem.  Imagine the horror.  Check the dates… the battle waged for around a year and half.God keeps His promises both for redemption and for judgment.  Let’s not forget the dozens upon dozens of times God pled with Judah to repent and return.  God promised ...  Read More

Good Morning “Of Course You Are’s”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 38.  What if The Lord spoke to you through a burning bush… or, perhaps through a donkey… or with a thundering voice through the clouds?  What if He reminded you that you were created in Him for good works, a purpose He has just for you?  “What do you think…”, He might say, “You up for it”?  What’s the picture that comes to mind?  Blessi...  Read More

Good Morning Blessed.  Today we are in Jeremiah 37.The Truth, Jesus, is offensive to those living in their flesh.  The Truth of Gods Word shines a light in the vileness of our sin.  Hence sharing The Word can come with consequences.  Still, it is incumbent upon us to share the truth in love and with boldness.  We shouldn’t be surprised, Jesus told us we could expect such things in John 15:18-20.  ...  Read More

Good Morning “One”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 33.  Israel and Judah had both lost their minds, forgotten their God and their covenant with them.  God didn’t!  He is clear in this chapter through Jeremiah.  After Israel and Judah are broken down and humbled, they will return to Him and He will restore them.  Their sins will be wiped out through The Blood of “The Lord our Righteous Savior” (Jeremiah...  Read More

Good Morning “Make Him Known-ers.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 32.  Jeremiah was given The Word of The Lord for those God led him to.   He had a choice to make.  Be obedient, or not.  He obediently gave Judah and her then King Zedekiah - The Word of The Lord.  Zedekiah didn’t appreciate being told the Truth.  Due to Judahs rejection of God and His Word, Zedekiah’s kingdom was going to be thwarted - ...  Read More
