Jeremiah 7–9

Common Theme

Questions

• How do we discern whether our repentance is genuine or superficial?

God Shot
God is a God who desires truth in the inward being and not just outward conformity. He is deeply grieved by sin and deception, weeping over the people He loves even as He declares judgment.
