About this sermon

1/15/2023 In Jeremiah 29, the prophet Jeremiah communicated the Lord’s instructions for the Israelites during their exile from Israel and captivity in Babylon. At the heart of these instructions, God exhorted the Israelites to focus on their families. Even as the Israelites endured the consequences of their failure to follow God (resulting in their exile), God had a plan for them to thrive and ultimately be restored to their home country. Join Pastor Brian Shannon as he shares why the family was such an essential part of God’s plan for the Israelites, and how those principles directly apply to God’s plans for all of mankind today. 00:00 - Start 14:06 - God was specific in his instruction to Israel 14:13 - Build homes and live in them 14:53 - Plant gardens and eat their produce (Work with your hands, be productive, provide for your family) 16:12 - Take wives for yourselves (let marriage be the institution you operate in) 16:36 - Men be fathers to your sons and daughters 17:43 - Teach your sons to marry wives and give their daughters away in marriage to a husband so that they teach the same to future generations. 22:03 - 4 major restraints against evil in our world 22:13 - 1.
