    Our text today is found in that part of the book of Jeremiah that many people refer to as the Book of Consolation or the Book or Comfort. Chapters 30 and 31 stand out in the book of Jeremiah because they offer something completely different from what he normally preaches.

When a prophet speaks the word of God into the life of a person or persons who have fallen into apostasy through the worship of false gods and have been following the words of false prophets, as ...read more
