Getting God's help but denying his authority | Jeremiah 37:1-21

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with surrendered, lasting obedience — not a faith that bends when it’s challenged. Led by Lee Arnold and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach God’s Word with clarity and conviction, calling people to an authentic faith that endures in every season.Today’s Message“Prayer Without Obedience” – Live with Lee ArnoldScripture: Book of Jeremiah 37:1–21In Jeremiah 37, King Zedekiah asks the prophet Jeremiah to pray for the nation — but he has no intention of obeying God’s Word. He wants God’s help without God’s authority, protection without correction.This passage reminds us of a sobering truth:Crisis often makes people spiritual, but desperation does not equal repentance.Key Takeaways• Prayer without obedience becomes self-centered• Temporary relief is not the same as true deliverance• God’s goal is not only to change our circumstances — but to change our hearts• Faithfulness to God’s truth may bring opposition, but it also brings eternal impactToday’s ReminderMany people want God’s blessing, protection, and provision — but resist His instruction, correction, and discipline.The question Jeremiah 37 asks each of us is simple:Do we want God’s help… or do we want God’s authority?Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God’s WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026📅 October 2–3, 2026🎟️ Tickets & info at BB4J.comSupport the MissionHelp us continue sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to live boldly for Christ.💛 Give at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah37 #PrayerAndObedience #FaithInAction #SundaySermon #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith #LiveBoldly
