I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 215 a note from God: Jeremiah 14-17
Then the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people. Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague.”
Jeremiah 14:11-12 NIV
Kansas, sang a song years ago, The Point of No Return. Jeremiah must have been shocked at these words from God.
God was done.
God expects those who enter into covenant with Him to take it seriously and be faithful to His demands.
The time for repentance had passes. Judgement was coming.
The good news is that God is not done. He still loves His creation.
A New Covenant is being heralded . . .
A new plan is coming . . .
a new call to faith is coming . . .
Stay tuned . . .
