The Wild And Fearsome Call Of God

Tim Gabrielson returns as our Guest Speaker today, bringing us a message from the life and calling of Jeremiah. We've all been seduced at one time or another by the image of God as Cosmic Vending Machine -- deposit one prayer, receive one blessing. But the calling of Jeremiah reminds us that sometimes God calls us into a plan that will never bear fruit for us, or within our lifetime. Even then, in the midst of sorrow and suffering, Jeremiah reminds us to praise, and even delight in, God, Jeremiah 1: 4-10, 7:5-11
