August 10, 2026 Today's Reading: Jeremiah 8:4-12 or Jeremiah 7:1-11Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 25:23-44; 1 Corinthians 4:1-21“I have paid attention and listened…” (Jeremiah 8:6a)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.When I was little, I learned to hammer nails into boards. Part of that process, unfortunately, included smashing my thumb with the hammer. The wise counsel of adults was to: “Stop hitting your thumb with the hammer, and it won't hurt.” It was true! I hit my thumb less nowadays, but there's more to the story. Admitting that I needed help, taking direction, following direction, and being comforted WHEN I hit my thumb was the path of greatest comfort. It was the same in Jeremiah's day. God asks, “When men fall, do they not rise again?” (Jeremiah 8:4). We expect people to get up when they fall. Judah didn't. They fell into great sin. They tried to hide their sin and struggle until eventually, it was easier to pretend everything was fine. They convinced themselves that piety and positive feelings covered their sin. People around them kept saying, “Peace, peace,” when there was no peace (v. 11). They spoke lies until they believed them. Even worse, the prophets and priests — those who were supposed to speak God's truth — twisted His Word to excuse sin rather than lead people to repentance. They followed the wisdom of the world, believing it would heal the wounds their sin had caused. It didn't heal anything; it never does… it only kept them trapped in their deception and misery.Yahweh sent Jeremiah to assure the people that God wasn't angry because they were sinners: “I have paid attention and listened…”— Yahweh knew what they were up to, AND He was heartbroken because they believed their sin wasn't that bad, that “God doesn't really mean what He said.” Like Judah — we pretend we're healthy when we're actually dead. God pays attention and listens. His word, through Jeremiah, crushed them, roused them; the word was sent to wake the dead in sin from their sleep. We're all fallen; we cannot rise by our own strength. Jeremiah points them to the promise of Christ — Who, for our sake, willingly took our sin and death and rose again. Christ bore our shame, took our judgment, and still reaches out His nail-pierced hands to forgive and restore you. Being a Christian isn't about keeping the stiff upper lip or exercising stoicism; Adam and Eve tried this with fig leaves, and it didn't work. We rest assured that God knows everything about us, He pays attention and listens — and still wants you, seeks you, and loves you. He clothes you in Christ's righteousness that covers every sin in Baptism, He gives you what you've neither earned nor deserved, and He's overjoyed to do so.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Let us pray: Almighty God, we have sinned against You in what we know and what we do not know. For the sake of Your Son, forgive us all our sin and grant us to serve You and our neighbor. Amen. Rev. Adam DeGroot, pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, NM.

July 27, 2026Today's Reading: Jeremiah 23:16-29Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 12:1-25; Acts 22:30-23:11“I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.” (Jeremiah 23:21)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Years ago, a man began attending my home church. He was enthusiastic, appreciated the Word that was preached, and it seemed like he was a potential new member. However, after the third time coming when the pastor was going to ask if he wanted to take adult instruction, the man jumped the gun. “Preacher, again, I really appreciate what you've said. But next Sunday, I want to preach. The Holy Spirit has given me a word to say, too.” The pastor informed the man that in the Lutheran church, only the called and ordained preacher was to preach. The man left annoyed, and never came back. So be it. The pastor did the right thing.Just because someone thinks he should publicly proclaim a Word because of the Holy Spirit doesn't make it true. Man's feelings are not a reliable way to say whether the Holy Spirit wants him to publicly preach. What is needed is the training, the call of a congregation, certification, and ordination of a man. Otherwise, the man runs in the way of the false prophets of Jeremiah 23, who were not sent, yet went anyway, and who did not listen to the Word of God, yet spoke as if they had.The early Lutherans warned that any man who publicly proclaimed God's Word without being called to the Office of the Holy Ministry would soon fall into error. Such a man would soon lead people astray, even if he seemed faithful at first. For God only sends immediately and directly, like the apostles who were sent by Jesus (Matthew 28:16-20). Or God sends proclaimers mediately and indirectly, like He did for Timothy, Titus, and all pastors since. God calls these pastors through the Church as though through an instrument. And just because someone is called to be a parochial school teacher or a DCE does not give them any call to publicly preach and teach God's Word. Those who do are also in danger, according to Jeremiah 23:21.Now, certainly, some who are called and ordained men fall into false doctrine. But the problem is not that God didn't call such men to preach. The problem is that they themselves set out to proclaim a different word. The true Word, however, is centered on the crucified and risen Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, true God made man, whose word and sacraments work, who saves all who trust in Him, and who guides our feet in the way of righteousness. Give to Your Church more faithful, called preachers, O Lord!In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Lord, bless the preaching of all called and ordained pastors, that these men may proclaim Your Word purely. Amen.Rev. Robert Mayes, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church and Zion St. John Lutheran Church, Beemer and Wisner, NE.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series in the book of Jeremiah.Arguably, one of the most famous verses in the entire Bible is Jeremiah 29:11. We love it on coffee mugs, graduation cards, and tattoos, but the real story behind this verse is very sobering. It was written to a people whose whole world had just burned down, and the 'hope' God offered them came with a 70-year waiting period. Join us as we dive into what it actually looks like to find a 'future and a hope' when life is far from perfect, and how we are called to be a blessing to our city while still being exiles waiting to go back home.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on April 19, 2026, at 9:30am.

The prophetic books of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel mark a radical change in the life of God's people, Israel. Starting with Jeremiah, the Babylonian exile is predicted, and then experienced. Daniel is taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar during Jeremiah's ministry, and after the 586 BC fall of Jerusalem, Ezekiel is called by God to minister to Israel in exile. Indeed, these prophets were aware of each others' ministries, and God's voice in them. Twice Ezekiel refers to Daniel (14:14 and 28:3), and Daniel mentions Jeremiah's prophecies (Daniel 9) as a source of his own prophetic ministry. Reading Jeremiah should be a learning experience par excellence, as getting clear on all its details and references - seeking to understand the discoveries of biblical archaeology that relate to it, and all the history of Israel, including the two kingdoms, their kings and their successes and failures, their faithfulness and their apostasy - sets one up to understand both the whole progression of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and God's plan of salvation set in place "before the foundation of the world." Listen and read with a mind open to God's voice. Search the scriptures to answer the questions you encounter, search the archaeology to display the truth of God's word verified, search the language to understand better the nuances of God's meaning. Read/listen carefully, reverently and inquisitively, and God will show you amazing things! You have HIS promise on that! We suggest, as usual, starting here: https://youtu.be/RSK36cHbrk0?si=KaJSPPn7n6z7x_Pl
