Chapter 46 begins a lengthy section of the book in which we see Jeremiah living out his original calling to be a prophet “over nations and kingdoms” (1:10). While the primary recipients of his prophetic messages were the kings, leaders,…
Prayer Update March 29, 2019
Last Friday I asked you to pray for our Heritage Leadership Team as we met for prayer and planning. I also requested prayer for several speaking opportunities (marriage conference, Sunday sermon). Throughout the weekend, we sensed God's grace, guidance, and…
