Jeremiah: His Word Was in My Heart

This 1993 series, Jeremiah: His Word Was in My Heart, explores the life and message of one of Israel’s most courageous prophets. Jeremiah lived through a time of national collapse, yet his heart burned with the word of God, compelling him to speak when silence might have been easier. These classes trace Jeremiah’s struggles, his faith, and his hope, showing how his experiences remain a powerful lesson for believers today. Through his story we see that God’s word is both fire and comfort—breaking down falsehoods and building up hope for the future.

I Am a Man That Hath Seen Affliction

The opening class presents Jeremiah as a man deeply acquainted with suffering, yet sustained by the hand of God. His personal trials illustrate the cost of faithfulness when the word of God is rejected by a stubborn people, and they remind us that weakness can be turned into strength when God’s Spirit compels a servant to speak.

The Sin of Judah

This class exposes the deep corruption of Judah, whose people had broken covenant with their God. Jeremiah’s words of judgment reveal how idolatry, oppression, and hypocrisy had hardened the nation, and how God’s justice could no longer be delayed.

As Clay in the Potter’s Hand

Here Jeremiah is shown in God’s workshop, watching the potter shape and reshape clay. The image illustrates God’s sovereignty and mercy: He is free to break down and rebuild, yet His desire is always to mold His people into vessels of honor if they will yield to His touch.

Is My Word Not Like a Fire?

This study focuses on the irresistible power of God’s word. Jeremiah describes it as a burning fire within him—one that could not be contained. Listeners are reminded that the word of God has the power to purify, to consume deceit, and to ignite faith in those who receive it.

An Everlasting Covenant

Despite the judgment proclaimed, Jeremiah also delivers a message of restoration. God promises to make a new and everlasting covenant with His people, one written not only on tablets but on hearts, offering forgiveness, renewal, and enduring hope.

The Lord Our Righteousness

The series closes with one of Jeremiah’s greatest prophecies—the promise of a righteous Branch who would reign as king. This vision of the coming Messiah assures God’s people that even in times of despair, His righteousness will prevail and His kingdom will be established in glory.
