Jeremiah 7 Introduction In Jeremiah 7, the idolatrous people of Judah fooled themselves into believing they were safe because God’s Temple was in Jerusalem. Similarly, many American believe that as long as there are Christians in America, they are safe from invasion, defeat, and judgment. Key Word / Phrase: “Amend your ways,” v 3. Key…
God’s Provision: Christ’s sacrifice was exactly what God desired and we required. Far greater than man’s first trip to the moon is Christ’s second coming to earth.
