What God Expects After You Say “I’m Sorry” | Jeremiah 34

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus Ministries!Our mission is to help believers live boldly for Christ and walk in surrendered obedience, not just in moments of pressure, but for a lifetime. Led by Lee and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach God’s Word with clarity and conviction, calling people to authentic faith that lasts beyond the crisis.Today’s message:“When Repentance Doesn’t Last”(Jeremiah 34:1–22)In Jeremiah 34, the people of Judah make promises to God during a national crisis. Under pressure, they do the right thing. But when the pressure eases, they reverse their obedience. God makes it clear that He is not impressed by temporary repentance or public promises that are later taken back.This message confronts performative repentance and challenges us to examine whether our obedience is situational or surrendered. God sees beyond words and religious moments. He calls for lasting faithfulness.Key truths from today’s message:• God is not impressed by temporary obedience• Pressure often produces promises, but true repentance lasts• You cannot bargain for God’s blessing while resisting His authority• Public vows made before God are serious• Delayed obedience is still disobedience• Fear of people leads to compromise• Jesus kept the covenant we broke• Real freedom is found in surrendered obedienceToday’s reminder:True repentance is not a moment, it is a direction. God is not mocked, but He is merciful. Because Jesus bore the curse of our broken promises, we are free to walk in lasting obedience and real forgiveness.“Choose faithfulness that lasts.”Stay connected and grow with us:• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive and in-depth• Daily Dose of Boldness – Encouragement from God’s WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026📅 October 2–3, 2026🎟️ Tickets and info at BB4J.comSupport the mission:Help us continue sharing the Gospel and teaching God’s Word.💛 Give at bebold4jesus.orgScripture: Jeremiah 34:1–22Tags:Be Bold for Jesus, When Repentance Doesn’t Last, Jeremiah 34, Biblical Repentance, Lasting Faith, Obedience to God, Christian Living, Sunday Sermon
