The Most Misunderstood Promise in The Bible

Today, Pastor Michael is drilling down on the lore of Jeremiah, specifically verse 29 and the promise the Lord gave in it. 

When life breaks down, God builds up, our central theme today.

We must continuously look past our current situations beyond the anxiety and hopelessness that can easily consume us and instead focus on the figurative light at the end of the tunnel. This light represents the hope found in God's Word. That hope, a firm assurance, will always help guide us through.

Real-life applications from today’s lesson:

1. Recognize consequences.
2. Accept reality.
3. Make a difference where you are.
4. Trust God’s timing.
5. Believe in God’s plans.
6. Seek God with all your heart.
7. Restoration is coming.

Today’s verses can be found in Jer 29: 11 (central verse) and Jeremiah 29: 4 - 14 (supporting verses)
