Why Jeremiah?
The book of Jeremiah is the second longest book in the Old Testament, second only to the book of Psalms. The book is named after the prophet Jeremiah who prophesized in the years preceding God’s discipline of his people by allowing them to be taken captive by Babylonia. He warns of coming judgment and tells of a God who is not ignorant of the actions of His people.
The book is a book of books—a collection of collections. It is not written in chronological order but is instead grouped by themes or intended audience. It contains some of the most famous passages of Scripture and some of the most overlooked. We have chosen this for our spring series because it is vital to understand the life of Jeremiah if we seek to have a grasp on the full Biblical story.

The Study
Each weekday we will read one chapter of Jeremiah and its related devotional. It is highly recommended to read the chosen chapter three times. First, read to get an overview of the chapter. Secondly, read slowly and meditatively looking for one verse or phrase that truly speaks to you. Third, read responsively searching for identity and modern examples of the text.
Devotionals are present to assist in making an application of a given text. Taking one idea from the chapter, the devotional illustrates how that text speaks directly to our experience. Each Sunday we will gather to hear a sermon on one of the chapters that we read the previous week. We will then gather in Home Group to discuss that sermon along with any other questions we have from our readings.
Our hope is that during this series we will grow in our knowledge of the character of God as He speaks through His Word.
