Tonight we continue in Jeremiah 1:4-19. Jeremiah is called and commission in these verses. Think of this as going from general to specific. He is called to be a prophet (general), but specifically he will be prophesying of Yahweh’s judgment coming from the north against the power brokers in Judah/Jerusalem. 

While in the narrative of his calling, we have one of the favorite verses of Scripture we attribute to God’s intentional and purposeful creation of every person, let’s first read this specially spoken to Jeremiah. It’s his story, which he delivers as a first hand account. Let’s let it be about him and the overwhelming task before him, before we begin to apply it personally, or communally, to our day. 

In our study tonight, once again we will see the theme of loyalty, as well as other major themes of Jeremiah, which are judgment and restoration.
