S10E09: I Knew You (Prophet Margins pt. 8)

Sermon #512

Jeremiah was the prophet who prophesied to the southern kingdom of Judah in the years leading up to the Babylonian exile.  His words were often unheeded and so he was known as the weeping prophet, because he would weep over the sins of the people of Judah.  When God called him as a prophet, he was young and inexperienced; yet what we see in Jeremiah's calling is that it is not about our abilities, but our willingness to be obedient to God.  God takes the most unlikely of people, ill-equipped for the job at hand, and He goes before them in order to give them the ability to do what God is calling them to.  He does the same for us today, and so if God is calling you to a higher purpose than simply sitting in the pews, then he will strengthen you for that purpose.
