God Has Spoken

In this episode we continue discussing God’s people in the days of Jeremiah. We learn about a people who have grown so callous to sin that they are worse than their pagan neighbors. How does God view His people when they act this way? We have a tendency to repeat history. So what signs should we be looking for in ourselves that make it clear we have become just like these in the days of Jeremiah? What do we do when we see that we have been using cracked cisterns rather than trusting in God as our river of life? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today’s episode we are in Jeremiah 1. We are looking at God’s initial call to the prophet Jeremiah and learning what it would take to be a mouthpiece for God. Jeremiah displays for us some much needed lessons on being humble servants that just want to speak the way God speaks. However, far too often we allow our own pride and thinking to get in the way of the Lord’s message. What can we learn from Jeremiah so we can be better mouthpieces for God? Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we are in Jeremiah 29. We examine one verse in particular that is often taken out of context and used to make a point that the text simply isn’t making. Then we look at the words of 2 false prophets in Jeremiah’s day by the name of Ahab and Zedekiah. These 2 men teach us that false teaching usually accompanies false living. From here we ask ourselves some important questions: Am I listening to false teaching that will lead me to false living? Or am I paying careful attention to what God says? Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we are looking at contrasting reactions to the word of God. We do this by looking at a story about Jehoiakim and then another story about Josiah. What do I do when the Bible tells me hard things? Do I ignore, close it, and act like I never read it? Or do I have the kind of heart that wants to change, and is willing to take extreme measures to make sure the word of the Lord is being followed in my life? Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we are in Mark 10 and we look at a few encounters that people have with Jesus. From children, to a rich man, to his disciples, and finally to a blind man, we see Jesus always have something to say. But who do we identify with the most out of these interactions? Are we humble in the way we receive Jesus? Do we have too much to let go and so we don’t follow Jesus? Or are we willing to admit our need for help and ready to let go of the things we are attached to? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
