Perhaps Jeremiah's best-known prophecy was "...I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." What law?

Standing Up For What’s Right

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 3, 2017

Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 9, 2018

God's promises don’t rest on your faith. They rest on his faithfulness. But how can you not have faith in One so faithful?

TODAY I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU about faithfulness—not yours, but God’s God is a promise-making God, but he is also a promise-keeping God. He is faithful in keeping his Word.

Don't Skip The Tune-Ups Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Oct 9, 2016
