The theme of my previous message was taken from Jeremiah 21:12, “Administer justice every morning.” That chapter talked about the kind of leadership God desires to see. God wants leaders to stop being self-centered and instead pursue the welfare of their people. Especially, to look after the needs of the poor. And to show kindness to foreigners in their land. If they do that, God will bless these leaders and their people. This idea is repeated in the next chapter. Jeremiah 22:

As you know, there are many Marys in the Bible. For example, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, and much more. But I am gonna talk about…. Guess who? Which Mary? Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus. Mary, Martha, and Lazarus lived in Bethany. Bethany was a small town. It was about two miles from Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that they had their own house. And they lived together in that house as

Islam had many more rules that were clearly defined—for example, telling you how many times to pray each day. Islam was the most appealing religion because he wanted order, rules, details, and clarity. These are not bad things necessarily. But as we’ll see in today’s passage, rules can also control our

In my previous message, the theme was taken from Jeremiah 20, “Cursed be the day I was born”. In chapter 20, Jeremiah was arrested and beaten by the temple authorities. It was in that kind of hostile environment that Jeremiah served as God’s prophet. “Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!” was Jeremiah’s lament in 20:14. Because Jerusalem, the city of God, was going to be destroyed. The people of Judah were

My previous message was about the theme “You are in my hand”. This was taken from Jeremiah 18:6, where God said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does? As the clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand.” God told Jeremiah that his plan was to break and remake Israel like a piece of clay. God can do the same in our lives. As God guides us, he can break the old and
