Headlines Announce the Downfall of Nations (Ezekiel 25–32)
Headlines from the ancient Near East still sound uncomfortably current: neighbors gloat at a rival’s fall, markets cheer a competitor’s collapse, and leaders claim they built the very rivers that feed them. We walk through Ezekiel 25–32 as a li...

Bad News and More Bad News (Ezekiel 22–24)
A hard word can save a life, and Ezekiel’s voice carries that weight. We walk through Ezekiel 22–24 as the prophet lays out an unflinching indictment—bloodshed, idolatry, fraud, and the quiet collapse that follows when a people forget God. The ...

Playing the Blame Game (Ezekiel 18–21)
What if the excuse you trust most is the very thing keeping you stuck? We open Ezekiel 18–21 and confront the sour grapes proverb head-on, trading the comfort of blame for the power of personal responsibility. Through vivid images and piercing ...

Powerful Parables (Ezekiel 15–17)
A stalk of bananas hidden behind an old piano becomes a mirror for the human heart: we stash the evidence and hope it stays buried. From that vivid memory, we move into Ezekiel 15–17, where three parables strip away illusions about privilege, a...

The Truth Is Told (Ezekiel 12–14)
Hard truths have a way of finding us. We open Ezekiel 12–14 and step into a world where people cling to comforting slogans while reality closes in. Exiles in Babylon tell themselves the city will stand or that their return is just around the co...

Tragedy in the Temple (Ezekiel 8–11)
What if the presence you most need quietly walked out the door? We journey with Ezekiel through chapters 8–11, where God pulls back the curtain on a city that looks religious but runs on idols. Inside the temple, carved beasts crowd the walls, ...

The Doomsday Message (Ezekiel 4–7)
Headlines love doom, but Ezekiel cuts through the noise with something sharper and more honest. We walk through his “silent sermons”—a brick city under miniature siege and a razor-sharp sign act that divides hair into thirds—to see how judgment...

A Fresh Vision of God (Ezekiel 1–3)
Fear has a way of sounding timeless. A line from 1857 calls it a gloomy moment in history, and that mood could describe our feeds today—yet Ezekiel meets that same anxiety on the banks of the Kebar Canal with a vision that reframes everything. ...

The Path to Restoration (Lamentations 4–5)
Rock bottom doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Walking through Lamentations 4–5, we confront Judah’s collapse with clear eyes—gold turned dim, holy stones scattered, people once called precious treated like clay—and discover a roadmap tha...

An Invitation to Come Home (Lamentations 1–3)
Grief can be honest without being hopeless. We open Lamentations with clear eyes, tracing Jerusalem’s fall, the shock of judgment, and the surprising mercy that waits when the tears finally come. The poetry matters here—not as ornament, but as ...

The Final Prophecies of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 45–52)
A faithful prophet sits in the shadow of exile, the crowd long gone, yet the message still burning. We walk through Jeremiah’s closing chapters with Baruch’s weary confession in hand and hear God’s bracing reply: do not seek great things for yo...

On the Wrong Side of History (Jeremiah 40–44)
Fear makes bad history repeat. In the wreckage after Jerusalem’s fall, we follow Jeremiah as he chooses the hard path of staying with the remnant under Gedaliah, a governor whose call to submit to Babylon sounded like treason to bruised pride. ...
•
11:39
The Tragic Fall of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 37–39)
A single idea threads through Judah’s last days: the distance between what could have been and what finally happened. We walk through Jeremiah 37–39 to watch that distance grow as King Zedekiah asks for prayer while rejecting obedience, bets on...

Wrong Reactions to the Word of God (Jeremiah 34–36)

The Promise of a Future and a Hope (Jeremiah 26–29)
When truth collides with comfort, sparks fly. We walk with Jeremiah through a cascade of showdowns—temple preaching that triggers a death threat, a courtroom defense that leans on courage and precedent, and a prophetic symbol that turns foreign...
•
12:04
Four Prophecies of Judgment (Jeremiah 21–25)
What if the faithful move is the one that offends your pride? Walking through Jeremiah 21–25, we face a message Judah refused to hear: God would use Babylon to break a stubborn nation, and survival meant surrender. We map the final, faltering y...

In the Potter’s Faithful Hand (Jeremiah 16–20)
A prophet is told to cancel the wedding, skip the parties, and wear his loneliness like a signpost. That’s how our journey with Jeremiah opens—hard edges, harder choices, and a sobering forecast of exile. Yet woven through the warning is a thre...

Swimming Upstream … Standing Alone (Jeremiah 11–15)
A lonely prophet, a hostile crowd, and a message no one wanted to hear. We walk with Jeremiah through chapters 11–14 as he confronts surface-level reform, endures betrayal from his own hometown, and asks the question many of us whisper: why do ...
