TODAY'S EPISODE:
Hello, everyone, it's Hunter here. Today, we took a deep dive into the book of Jeremiah, exploring chapters 21, 24, and 27, followed by Psalm 118 and 1 John chapter 2. We discussed the consequences of ignoring God's guidance and the emptiness that comes from worldly cravings. Remember, true fulfillment comes from living Christ-focused lives filled with kindness, humility, and serving others. Reflect on this message and let it guide your steps as we move forward in God's love. Thanks for joining me on Daily Radio Bible. You are loved. See you next time.
STUDY QUESTIONS:
Certainly! Here are 10 discussion questions based on the August 21st, 2024 episode of "Daily Radio Bible": 1. **Jeremiah's Prophecies:** - How do Jeremiah's warnings to King Zedekiah about surrendering to Nebuchadnezzar challenge our understanding of God's will and justice? 2. **Vision of Figs:** - What might the vision of the two baskets of figs in Jeremiah 24 symbolize about God's judgment and mercy? 3. **False Prophets:** - How can we discern true spiritual guidance from false prophecies in our own lives, as highlighted in Jeremiah's warnings to the people and their leaders? 4. **Psalm 118's Assurance:** - How does Psalm 118's affirmation of God's enduring love and protection speak to our modern struggles and fears? 5. **John's Messages:** - In 1 John chapter 2, John emphasizes obedience to God's commandments. How do we balance this obedience with understanding and practicing grace? 6. **Loving One Another:** - According to 1 John, loving one another is a core commandment. How do acts of love and kindness affect both the giver and the receiver? 7. **Cravings of the World:** - Hunter discusses the cravings of the world versus a Christ-focused life.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.
Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen
And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
