Jeremiah and the Promise of Renewal
Featuring, Pastor Joseph Fordyce
Bible Class | October 7, 2025
Jeremiah 1:6-10; 26:8-9, 12-15. Jeremiah’s Call and Arrest. God’s messengers might seem young and inexperienced.
Bible Class | October 14, 2025
Jeremiah 7:1-11, 21-23. Jeremiah‘s Message. God wants mercy even more than religious devotion.
Bible Class | October 21, 2025
Jeremiah 35:5-11. A Family’s Example. Be faithful to God’s ways, even more than human tradition.
Bible Class | October 28, 2025
Jeremiah 31:29-34; John 1:17. Changes Promised. We need God to make us faithful.
Summary: Jeremiah and the Promise of Renewal
In the midst of judgment and exile, the book of Jeremiah reveals God’s unwavering promise to restore His people. Though Jeremiah warned of destruction due to disobedience, he also delivered hope: a future of healing, return, and a new covenant written on the heart (Jeremiah 29:11, 31:31–34). It’s a powerful reminder that even after discipline, God’s desire is always redemption and renewal.
