Study in Jeremiah
Jeremiah 42
I want to continue our study through the book of Jeremiah. And today we’re going to be looking at Jeremiah chapter 42. So if you have your Bibles, turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 42. Jeremiah had been in Jerusalem when Jerusalem fell to Nebuchadnezzar. And the captain of Nebuchadnezzar had been told by Nebuchadnezzar to talk to Jeremiah and tell him that he was to be set free. And that he had the opportunity to go where he wanted…
Jeremiah 39
We want to continue our study through the book of Jeremiah. If you have your Bibles, turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 39. I want to help you picture what Jeremiah is experiencing. As he began the study in Jeremiah, when Jeremiah was called by the Lord, way back in chapters 1 and 2, Jeremiah came to be called by God to be a prophet of Israel, just about the same time that Josiah was king in Israel. And Josiah…
Jeremiah 38:1-28
This afternoon we want to continue our study in the book of Jeremiah. And so if you have your Bibles and will turn with me to Jeremiah. And we are looking at chapters 37 and 38 as Jeremiah has been in prison. And you know, sometimes we just don’t understand why God allows certain things to happen. And I’m sure Jeremiah was wondering about this as well. Jeremiah had been doing everything God had told him to do. And yet…
Jeremiah 37:1-21, Obedience in difficult circumstances
I want to continue our study through the book of Jeremiah and if you have your Bibles with you, if you would turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 37. As we mentioned, some of the books of Jeremiah aren’t in chronological order. We were studying that Zedekiah was the king. Well, Zedekiah was the last king of Israel or the last king of Judah before the Babylonian captivity and was taken into captivity. But he had a brother that was…
Jeremiah 34
I want to continue our study on Jeremiah. And today we’re going to be looking at chapter 34 of Jeremiah. I’ve been looking at the last few weeks and God has been doing some, having Jeremiah do things to reveal to the nation of Israel promises that he has made and prophecies that he has revealed about coming events. Prophecies dealing with the fact that even though he’s going to allow them to be taken into captivity because of their…
Jeremiah 33
Restoration Jeremiah has been imprisoned by Zedekiah, the king of Israel. Zedekiah is going to be the last king of Israel. From the time of Zedekiah until when the Lord returns, there will be no one sitting on the throne of David. There will be others that will claim to be king, but they won’t be of the line of David. Zedekiah is the last one of the line of David. Zedekiah had done that which was evil in the…
Jeremiah 32
Jeremiah’s message rejected Turn to chapter 32. I’ve passed over it three times. Chapter 32 in the book of Jeremiah. Let’s come to chapter 32. Jeremiah has been speaking and telling the people of Judah the judgment’s coming. He’s been telling that message for a long time. They haven’t liked to hear it. They’ve got false prophets and false teachers that are going around telling the judgment isn’t coming. Well, it’s there. Scenario of what’s happening in Jeremiah 32 As…
Jeremiah 31, Forgiveness and Restoration
Turn with me to Jeremiah and I wanted to take a look at Jeremiah chapter 31 this evening. We’re going to jump ahead a few chapters. The last few weeks we’ve been looking at Jeremiah and it’s kind of been repeats of the same message because that’s what much of the book of Jeremiah is, Jeremiah’s burden that he’s given from the Lord about what is to happen to the nation of Judah and that they are not seeing the…
Jeremiah 25:1-11
So if you would turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 25. Last week we looked at the fact that God was preparing to take the nation of Israel into captivity. There were three invasions from Babylon, the first two, the first invasion from Nebuchadnezzar was one in which they took away some of the young nobility and some of the leaders of Israel but they didn’t do a lot of damage to Jerusalem or the nation itself. The second invasion,…
Jeremiah 2:1-13
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 3 Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord. 4 Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of…
