Bad figs cannot be eaten and neither can a rejection of God be helpful. Cliff Sowa shares from Jeremiah’s letter to those taken captive to Babylon.

Cliff Sowa takes us through a revelation of Jesus as The Branch of David, the sign of two baskets of figs, and 70 years of desolation for an unrepentant people.

Jeremiah is taken to the potter’s house to remind us that the Lord is the Potter and we are the clay. In Him we find deliverance, in Him we find rest.

Much like Job, Jeremiah dares to ask the Lord some questions…. and the Lord answers! Cliff Sowa takes us through the conversation.

When Judah turns from the true God to idols carved from trees they set themselves up for captivity. Jeremiah calls out and the people threaten his life. Cliff Sowa continues his study of the weeping prophet.

Jeremiah, the mourning prophet mourns for his people, yet they continue in false teaching and disobedience to God. That brings God’s judgment and causes the people to mourn. Cliff Sowa takes us through two difficult chapters…

Impending destruction from the north and trusting in lying words. Can we learn from Judah failure in trust and turn back to the Lord? Cliff Sowa shares the warnings from the Lord through Jeremiah.

Cliff Sowa takes us through Jeremiah’s lament over Jerusalem and the justice of God’s judgment.

Jerusalem was playing the harlot, forsaking the Living Water and drinking from broken cisterns. Cliff Sowa shares the first message God gives Jeremiah to share.
