What does it look like to trust God when we feel captive, afraid, or like we’re not enough? As we wrap up our summer series in Jeremiah, we look at Jeremiah 33:14–16 and the powerful promise of a coming Savior. Because of Jesus, we can be saved from the things that hold us captive, experience the safety of God’s presence, and receive the righteousness of Christ rather than trying to prove ourselves. Discover the hope found in the name Yahweh Tsidkenu—The LORD Is Our Righteousness.
Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most famous Bible verses — a passage the promises good things, a wonderful future, and a powerful hope. But without the context, we can sometimes miss the deeper meaning. The surrounding verses remind us that we are called to be ‘resident missionary’s,’ to plant and establish our lives where God calls us, and to build a foundational faith that gets passed on for generations to come. Then, from this place of being resident missionary’s, we can point people to the wonderful vision and hope of Jesus Christ — the One who has come to make all things new.
Ever hear the phrase: “Follow Your Heart”? Ever follow your heart with no abandon? Jeff continues our series by opening to Jeremiah 17 and contrasting what happens when humans follow their own heart versus following the Lord. Thankfully, God has not left us to ourselves but promised to transform all things — including our minds, hearts, and lives.
Has God ever seemed unreliable when you need him most? That’s how the prophet Jeremiah felt. Yet God answered by putting His own name behind a promise to protect, rescue, and redeem him. And God is still faithfully keeping that promise to us.
When life goes off the rails and you’re filled with confusion, guilt, or anger, how do you actually pray? In this message from Jeremiah 10:23–25, Matt teaches how honest prayer turns us back to God instead of sideways at people or down into bitterness.
What are you most proud of? Jeremiah 9:23–24 challenges us to stop boasting in the things of this world and instead boast in one thing alone: knowing God. Discover what it means to truly know Him—not just in your head, but through a life-changing relationship that transforms what you celebrate and what you're remembered for.
In this ‘Age of Anxiety’, how do we find peace and rest in our daily lives? The prophet Jeremiah gives us an easy 1-2-3 lesson in how to get rid of our anxiety and find that peace and rest we desperately need. Jeremiah points us to Jesus who calls us to come to him to find true rest and peace.
What is an idol and do you have any? Contrary to popular belief, an idol isn’t just a wooden or metal image we bow down to in worship but it can be anything that takes the central place of Jesus Christ in our hearts and lives. As Jeff continues our series in Jeremiah, he looks at a famous passage where God calls us to turn from idolatry, plow up the hardened ‘soil of our hearts,’ and trust in Him again.
How does our relationship with God actually work? What’s our job and what is God’s job? If/when our faith starts to slip, how can we turn back and work on our relationship with God again? As Jeff continues our series in Jeremiah, we discover how God views our relationship, the division of labor between humans and God, and how the ‘power of confession’ can move the heart of God and offer healing to us today.
