as mentioned earlier – 3:3 – “you have played the harlot with many lovers” – see 1st commandment.
) 2:13: “broken cisterns” – that can’t hold water / God being the fountain of living water. As Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well – “drink my water, and you will never be thirsty again.”
) 2:24 – “wild donkeys” – “a wild donkey used to the wilderness – sniffs at the wind of her desire.
) 2:14 – “homeborn slave” – a total slave to original sin.
) 2:26 – “ashamed as a thief”
) 3:11 – “backsliding children” – a misnomer for Christians, as if it fits, then that person was probably never really saved in the first place.)
) 4:3 – “the foreskin of your hearts” – where is your heart?
) 4:22 – “silly children” – very likely goes along of self proclaimed wisdom.
) 4:31 – “Voice of a woman in labor” – in times of dire crises, otherwise, never ever heard from.
) 5:14 – “Behold, I will make words in your mouth fire, And this people wood.” (speaking to prophets)
) 5:26 – “For among My people are found wicked men; They lie in wait as one who sets snares; They set a trap; They catch men. ” i.e. Pagan cultural marxists – Antifa and BLM.
) 6:30 – “rejected silver”

Looking forward to the eleven weeks in Jeremiah. I hope we will have some good discussion and pointing out what we see in these verses. I can’t read or think about Jeremiah without one of my favorite verses that God knew us in the womb. What a powerful reminder of God’s great love for us.

On of my favorite preachers is Skip Heitzig – Calvary Chapel Albuquerque. He is a wonderful expositional preacher. In addition, he wrote a book called the Bible at 30,000 feet and just finished a two year sermon series by the same name to provide a high level overview of the scripture. Within this series there are two sermons to summarize the book of Jeremiah. The first can be watched on YouTube at https://youtu.be/fHN7poD_cMI

He also preached in 2004 a 23 part series on Jeremiah basically covering two chapters per sermon. You can listen free here: http://skipheitzig.com/teachings_search.asp?series=160&AcceptsCookies=yes#series358

Or for two bucks you can buy the series on Audible which provides a good player to listen on your device. See https://www.audible.com/pd/24-Jeremiah-2004-Audiobook/B01B6UGCOK?qid=1598891973&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=0XCJE87XEQ53KHRX2QQD

I hope these resources will be helpful. I plan to listen to Skip’s sermons on the relevant chapters of Jeremiah each week.
