In this episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Book of Isaiah to a triumphant and sobering close and step into the Book of Jeremiah — one of the most emotionally raw and prophetically-urgent books in all of Scripture. They open with God's call of Jeremiah before he was even formed in the womb and then move through the devastating indictment of a people who have exchanged the living God for broken cisterns. The hosts also draw a powerful and strikingly relevant connection between Jeremiah's temple sermon in chapter 7 and Jesus' cleansing of the temple — reminding listeners that God is not your rabbit's foot, and that trusting in a building, a tradition, or a religious system rather than in the living God is the very thing that brought Jerusalem to ruin. A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at Jeremiah 6:16 — "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your soul" — a passage Rev. Spence identifies as one of the most positive and practically powerful verses in all of Jeremiah. This episode is a timely and urgent word for the church today: reform your ways, return to the ancient paths, and never mistake the building for the presence of the God who dwells within it.
