Planted in the Wreckage- The Gospel According to Jeremiah | Wk 7: A Settling Hope (Jeremiah 30-31)

Preacher: Kathy Maskell Scripture: Jeremiah 30:12-22 | 31:31-34 Jeremiah 30:12-15 NIV This is what the Lord says: "Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing. There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you. All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your guilt is so great and your sins so many. Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure? Because of your great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you." Jeremiah 30:16-17, 22 "But all who devour you will be devoured; all your enemies will go into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered; all who make spoil of you I will despoil.  But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the Lord, "because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares." "So you will be my people, and I will be your God." Jeremiah 31:33-34  "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to teach other, 'Know the Lord;, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more."
