Message by Pastor David Whitmore for April 22: You Have Been Called
This week I speak to you about what you need to be unstoppable. We look at the beginning of young Jeremiah and the prophecy God gave him for Israel. The scripture verses this week are in Jeremiah 1: 1-19. This is the whole 1st chapter. God comes to Jeremiah and tells him what is in store for Israel because of the way they have turned away from God. The message is tough and harsh and the people do not want to hear this and choose not to believe him. Jeremiah is belittled and criticized for his message even thrown into a pit but he never changes the message. He does get angry and frustrated at times but he did not stop doing what God had for him to do. I look at Jeremiah’s faith this week and see what was it that kept him going and how we can implement these same things in our lives. It is not going to be easy but doing the right thing is seldom easy.
