Cowardice and Courage - Jeremiah 38-39 

Great, great teachings.

Reading God's words just blows my mind. He will never let down those who put their trust in Him. Thank you pastor for these teachings. God has blessed you with a beautiful talent. Praise God.

God give us courage to obey Him all times...chapter 39 is an eye-opener for us on God's judgement!

God rid us of wishbone and evasions 🤔.. Thank you Pastor 👍

Thankyou for your teachings

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (May 16), Jeremiah 38:14-23 was the basis for our Sunday School Lesson of the Day. It was entitled Jeremiah: The Suffering Preacher of Doom or Preacher of Doom and Life. The beloved hymn, "Oh, That the Lord Would Guide My Ways," written by Isaac Watts (1674-1748), is a good hymn to compliment this Scripture, regardless of denomination.

"There's safety in Surrender."

"But it belongs to a man who could have had it all different if he had the courage to obey God at that critical moment."

Hello! Powerful message. Jeremi was a faithful prophet. Sovereign Tsiḏqiyahu was truly a man who lacked backbone as you said. Many lessons were extracted from this account. Evil seems to triumph, but Yehovah will bring true justice to this wicked riddled world. I made an association with what is currently taking place in Israel. There are some wicked protagonists whom the world lends support. I pray that many within Judah turn to Him. There are difficult times yet to come.

Obey the Lord and leave all the consequences to Him... As Charles Stanley Says.

Well put,thank you🙏🏾

This is soo Good. God is truly good❤

"Just as was prophesied, the city fell."

We have Documented proof in artifacts that the princes named In Jeremiah 38:1 actual existed: In the city of Lachish, found within pottery (as this was a customary technic to store things), there were small round seals (called Bullaes) with the names of Gadaliah & Jucal inscribed on them (see photo), and also found inside was a letter written on a cuneiform tablet written from Shelemiah wishing the King reports of peace and good news. Three of the princes names we have verifiable proof of. Documented proof of Jeremiah 38:4-6. Also in Lachish, within pottery like the others, written on a clay tablet we have an actual letter written to Joash, confirming the princes saying Jeremiah is "weakening the hands of the soldiers and the people".

I never knew that the fate of Jerusalem being burned/destroyed was because of one man’s disobedience

I must be a weak man, by that description. I’m easily swayed by opinions I deem correct. On another note, I would like scripture that talks about standing strong against those that would lead us astray.
