Midweek Bible Study

Midweek Bible Study | Pastor Joshua Reyes by Quest Church

Jacob Prasch continues his exposition of Jeremiah 19 into the opening of Jeremiah 20, emphasizing that God's announced judgment on Jerusalem was not something the Lord “wanted” but something forced by persistent refusal to repent, as the people made God's house “alien” through idolatry, immorality, and the shedding of innocent blood—paralleling this with modern church apostasies (interfaith worship, homosexuality, and abortion). He develops the Gehenna/Valley of Hinnom background (Molech, Topheth, “field of blood”), treats the horrific cannibalism foretold in siege conditions as both historical reality and divine retribution for child sacrifice, and contrasts the “hosts of heaven” with “the Lord of Hosts” to argue against angel-veneration and “angelic revelation” religions (citing Colossians 2 and Hebrews 1). The passage then shifts to persecution: the priest Pashhur publicly beats and humiliates Jeremiah, prompting Jeremiah to pronounce a name-change oracle (“terror on every side”) and to predict Babylonian exile and death for Pashhur and his circle—using this as a template for how false prophets tell people what they want to hear, persecute true warning voices, and yet inevitably reap the same outcome when judgment arrives.Peter 5:13 and Revelation 17–18 as the interpretive lens—before previewing continuation into Jeremiah 22.

Midweek Bible Study | Pastor Joshua Reyes by Quest Church

Jacob Prasch continues his Jeremiah study (Jeremiah 18:11 onward), using the “potter and clay” warning as a parallel to what he sees as modern apostasy in the Church of England: he warns us of the British monarchy and Anglican leadership for abandoning the Reformation heritage (e.g., the 39 Articles and the martyrs), highlights perceived doctrinal collapse around ecumenism and LGBTQ affirmation, and frames this as the same “we'll follow our own plans” stubbornness Jeremiah confronted. He then expounds Jeremiah's imagery of leaving the “ancient paths” (Scripture and apostolic doctrine, not mere worship styles), arguing that deviation leads to national desolation and external judgment—specifically portraying Islam's growth in Britain and the West as a consequence of the church losing its moral and spiritual witness. Finally, he follows the text into the religious establishment's plot to silence Jeremiah (a model, in his view, for how compromised religious systems target truth-tellers), and he turns to Jeremiah's anguished prayer that shifts from intercession to calling for judgment once repentance is refused—connecting this pattern to end-times themes (a transition from “tribulation” to “wrath”) while concluding that, despite institutional collapse, Christ will not forsake those who remain faithful to the biblical “highway.”

Jacob Prasch opens with prayer and then teaches from Jeremiah 18's “potter and clay” image to argue that God's sovereignty is never arbitrary: judgment comes in response to unrepentant sin after God calls people to turn back, and in Jeremiah the immediate context concerns nations (Judah/Israel) rather than individuals. From there he critiques Calvinism for, in his view, misreading Romans 9 by detaching it from the Old Testament context (Isaiah, Jeremiah) and from the “two nations in your womb” framing of Jacob/Esau, insisting election is corporate and tied to Israel's ongoing place in God's purposes (Romans 9–11) rather than a deterministic decree sending individuals to heaven or hell. He also polemicizes against replacement theology and modern church accommodation of homosexuality, and then reinforces the warning by moving to Jeremiah 19 and the Valley of Hinnom/Gehenna—linking Judah's idolatry and child sacrifice to impending Babylonian judgment and using the geography as an admonition that persistent rebellion leads to irrevocable destruction, while God's desire remains repentance and mercy.

Midweek Bible Study (Genesis 9:1-17) Richie Beeler

 Continuing in Jeremiah 17:19–27, this teaching addresses the meaning of the Sabbath—not as a legalistic observance, but as a prophetic sign pointing to Christ Himself. By examining Scripture from Jeremiah, the Gospels, Romans, Colossians, and Hebrews, the message explains why Sabbath-keeping was treated as a matter of life and death under the Old Covenant and how its true fulfillment is found in entering God's rest through Jesus. Contrasting religious rule-keeping with genuine faith, this study exposes the emptiness of man-made religion, false visions, and legalism, and calls believers to rest fully in the completed work of Christ, who alone is the substance behind every shadow. 

Welcome to Liberty Baptist Church's Midweek Bible Study and online broadcast! We're so glad you've joined us. We pray you are encouraged by the message. Praise flows naturally from a heart that rightly sees God's character, as exemplified in David's psalm, where worship is not duty-bound but a spontaneous overflow of gratitude rooted in God's majesty, greatness, goodness, grace, and mercy. The sermon emphasizes that genuine praise is persistent, passionate, and personal—refusing to be outsourced or diminished by hardship—because every day brings fresh evidence of God's faithfulness, from deliverance to daily mercies. It is not merely emotional but deeply theological, arising from a clear vision of God's glory and the transformative reality of His grace, which calls for continual, heartfelt worship. This praise must be passed on across generations through intentional teaching and living, ensuring that faith and gratitude are not confined to private moments but become a public, joyful testimony. Ultimately, the believer is called to live in constant awareness of God's presence and provision, offering praise as the natural fruit of a life redeemed and sustained by grace.

Midweek Bible Study (Genesis 8:15-22) Richie Beeler

 In this teaching from Jeremiah chapter 17, the focus turns to the spiritual anatomy of fallen humanity—particularly the deceitfulness of the human heart and the danger of trusting in man rather than in the Lord. Drawing connections between Jeremiah's warnings before the Babylonian captivity, the ministry of Jesus, and the realities of the last days, this message explores idolatry, false religion, emotional deception, and misplaced confidence in human systems, wealth, and power. Through biblical cross-references and historical examples, the teaching contrasts those who are cursed for trusting in flesh with those who are blessed for trusting in God alone, culminating in a call to recognize Christ as the fountain of living water and the only true refuge in a time of judgment.

Midweek Bible Study (Genesis 7:17-24) Richie Beeler

 In this extended exposition of Jeremiah 16, Jacob Prasch interprets the prophet's warnings as both an immediate judgment on Judah and a far-reaching foreshadowing of the last days, closely linking the chapter to Jesus' Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation. Prasch explains why God commands Jeremiah not to marry, mourn, or celebrate—signs that divine compassion has been withdrawn from a society that has crossed a moral point of no return. He traces recurring biblical patterns of famine, judgment, false prophecy, and idolatry from the Babylonian captivity to 70 AD, and ultimately to the rise of Babylon the Great, emphasizing that understanding prophecy requires understanding history. Addressing modern apostasy, false religion, moral collapse, and the abandonment of biblical truth, he contrasts counterfeit “words” from false prophets with the true Word of God. Yet amid judgment, Prasch highlights God's enduring covenant promises to Israel, the future regathering of the Jewish people, and the certainty that the nations will one day recognize the futility of their idols. The teaching closes with a sober reminder: when God makes Himself known in judgment, every false system will be exposed, and all will know that Yahweh alone is Lord.

 Continuing his exposition of Jeremiah 15, Jacob Prasch presents a sobering theology of judgment, repentance, and perseverance for believers living amid apostasy. He explains that when a nation—or a church—passes a moral point of no return, God may cease calling it to repentance and instead give it over to judgment, even while still calling individuals to faithfulness. Tracing the chapter's imagery of fourfold doom and its fulfillment across Scripture, Prasch connects Jeremiah's anguish to Christ's own suffering, showing how the prophet typifies the rejected Messiah and, by extension, the faithful remnant in every age. He emphasizes the necessity of “eating the Word”—allowing Scripture to be fully internalized—so that it becomes both a joy and a burden, sweet in the mouth yet bitter in the stomach. Addressing discouragement, isolation, and righteous indignation, Prasch underscores God's promise to preserve those who refuse compromise: believers must extract what is precious from what is worthless, resist conformity to apostasy, and trust that even in persecution God will ultimately redeem them from the hand of the violent and the wicked. 

 In this intense and confrontational teaching from Jeremiah 14:13 through 15, Jacob Prasch interprets contemporary political violence, cultural collapse, and ecclesiastical apostasy through the lens of biblical judgment. Beginning with the assassination of a prominent Christian voice and the moral chaos surrounding it, Prasch frames current events as evidence of a society—and a church—being “given over” by God, echoing the divine prohibition given to Jeremiah not to pray any longer for a people who have chosen deception over truth. He exposes false prophets and corrupt clergy as modern counterparts to Jeremiah's day, explaining how counterfeit visions, occult divination, and self-deceived minds continue to mislead nations and believers alike. Moving verse by verse, he traces God's fourfold judgment—the sword, the dogs, the predatory birds, and the beasts—as prophetic patterns culminating ultimately in Babylon the Great, warning that mainstream Christendom itself is destined for captivity because it has abandoned repentance, holiness, and biblical authority. While emphasizing that God will preserve faithful individuals for His purposes, Prasch delivers a sobering conclusion: judgment begins in the house of God, and what happened in Jeremiah's generation is now unfolding again, inexorably, in our own.
