Jeremiah (Page 2)
A Word to the Kings
Jeremiah’s ministry overlapped the reign of the last 5 kings of Judah. The last four were wicked kings and in this study we see Jeremiah speaking to these 4 kings. It ultimately leads us to the final King that will come and establish a true reign of righteousness!
Bible Text: Jeremiah 21:1-23:8
The Potter, Prophet, & Policeman
Jeremiah is directed to go down to the Potters house and there he would find the potter at work. Through what Jeremiah saw the Lord would speak to him and give some practical insights to what God was doing with the nation. We also look at some practical application for us as clay in the Potters hand.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 18-20
You Want Me To Do What?
As if Jeremiah hasn’t already had it tough, now God tells him that he’s not to marry or have children. What’s the reason? How would you deal with that? Why does it seem the Lord withholds certain things from us? We look at some of the reasons and discuss living our lives to their fullest effectiveness for the Lord.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 16-17
Reaping What You Sow
For the third time Jeremiah is told not to pray for Judah. The people have reached a point in their sin where there is irreversable damage that is caused. A season is upon them where they must reap what they have sown. God will allow them to face captivity so as to have their hearts ultimately turn back to the Lord. But the Lord continues to give hope, “If you return, then I will bring you back.” (Jer. 15:19)
Jeremiah 14-15
Persevering & Preaching
Jeremiah asks the age old question, ‘Why does the way of the wicked prosper?’ God’s response is not what Jeremiah was hoping for I’m sure. But God’s concern was more for Jeremiah. All that Jeremiah was dealing with was meant to prepare him for greater challenges and build perseverance. It would enable him to continue preaching the word in all circumstances.

Refusing to Return
Throughout this passage we see Judah as those who are holding fast to deceit, rushing into sin, refusing to listen or return to the Lord. The option was there and judgment could be averted, but they remained in sin and disobedience. So the warning continues to sound of what they could expect if they do not come back to God.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 8:1-9:26
Reliance On The Wrong Things
Jeremiah is called to go stand at the gates of the temple and declare the coming judgment of the Lord. The people were thinking they were safe because they had the temple after all. They could worship other gods as long as they came to the temple too. God would never let anything happen to His dwelling place, they thought. But as we’ll see, God is much more interested in obedience that buildings. He wants a devoted heart not a divided heart.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 6:1-7:34
Return & Recover
It’s amazing that Israel had turned so far away from God and had brought so much difficulty into their lives. Yet through it all, and no matter how far they had gone, God continues to call out to return to Him. This is what repentance is – to turn from your sin, and turn to God. And if they would do it, they would find peace and restoration. These chapters deal with this message and the tragic outcome of not following this word.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 4-5
Broken & Backslidden
Jeremiah begins his prophetic ministry as he calls out to those in Jerusalem and Judah. Many vivid pictures and images are given as a comparison to their waywardness and rebellion. We see Judah as an unfaithful wife, a broken cistern, a wild animal to name a few. Yet in all of this we see God’s gracious mercy calling them to repent and return back to Him.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 2:1-3:25
