    Jeremiah 20:7-18 When Emotions Collide. Chris Lizotte sings "Open the Skies"

    In this passage Jeremiah is enthusiastically praising God, then cursing the day he was born, then speaking as a warrior, then speaking fearfully. Chad understands and ruminates on this subject, then points us yet again to our certain hope, hope that is always present, even when we don't even know ourselves. Chris Lizotte sings a beautiful song entitled "Open the Skies".

    Jeremiah 18:18-23 Colin Heinrich sings "Hear Me, Lord"

    This episode deals with the all too familiar situation known as "No good deed goes unpunished". The prophet Jeremiah was faithful in delivering God's message of truth to His people, yet his earthly reward was hearing of his countrymen plotting to take his life! Jeremiah turned to God in despair and complained bitterly, to the point of asking for harsh judgement to come upon his enemies. Chad ruminates on this deeply emotional passage and offers compassionate words of hope for us all, based entirely upon the loving character of our God. Colin Heinrich sings a beautiful and peaceful lament entitled "Hear me, Lord".

    Jeremiah 17:14-17 Mikaela Adams sings "Christ Have Mercy"

    We've all been wronged, sometimes by those closest to us, or those who we trust the most. So, how do we respond, especially when we know that we can't truthfully claim our own righteousness and demand God's wrath against those who have hurt us. Oftentimes we hold our feelings inside, keeping our thoughts to ourselves, which only makes things worse. In God's mercy, He has given us words to express in prayer, words found in Holy Scripture, that encapsulate our deepest pains and struggles. This passage from Jeremiah is another gem for the wounded. Chad meditates on this passage and points us to the great healing and redemption found in Christ alone. Mikaela Adams sings a beautiful lament entitled "Christ have mercy".

    Jeremiah 15: verses 10-21 Markita Knight sings "Always For Me"

    For the next few weeks we will be exploring the rich laments of the prophet Jeremiah. Rich, because we can relate to the prophet's complaints, and also be encouraged that God gives us a script in His holy Word to speak to Him about the things that vex us. Chad shines a bright light on these words of Jeremiah, and meditates on God's responses. The talented Markita Knight sings "Always For Me".    Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What’s New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Chad Bird Song Lyrics: Jeremiah 15:10-21 Always For Me   I never asked for this, Never asked to be born In a world full  of sin   Of struggle and scorn I never asked for this…. Oh Lord, You know   I never asked to borrow A dollar from anyone Yet I’m cursed like a debtor Like I owe them the sun I never asked for this…. Oh Lord, You know   Chorus: I’m not alone When I cannot see In the valley of despair You are guiding me To hold onto You In You I am free Your divine love, O Jesus Is always for me is always for me   Lord, You called me forth Before I was born You called me to be A wall in the storm In disaster and pain O Lord, you know   Bridge: You put your name in me For your purpose You put your name in me By your grace I am not worthy To shine your light But my heart sings out You have given me sight
