Kevin Bentley teaches from Jeremiah 3:6-25. In today's passage, we will see how seriously God takes reconciliation because He values relationships deeply. Believers can sometimes avoid true reconciliation with others and, at times, even with God regarding their sins against Him. However, His desire is for genuine confession and forgiveness, most importantly toward Him and toward one another.

Dean Elliott teaches from Jeremiah 2:1-3:5. This particular section of Jeremiah is the formal legal indictment letter of idolatry to the people of Israel. Most all believers struggle with idolatry in one way or another. And to God, Idolatry is a matter of one's heart.

David denHartog begins a new series in Jeremiah called "A Call to Spiritual Renewal." The book of Jeremiah illustrates both spiritually and metaphorically how the walls of Jerusalem were weak due to the sin of its people, and how eventually they would fall. Believers today may feel the same way, but God has placed a calling in each one of their lives, much like he did Jeremiah, to fulfill His plans and purpose.

Dean Elliott teaches from Psalm 116 as the last message of the year.

Dean Elliott teaches from Matthew 1:22-23 and Isaiah 7. Today's passages will help believers focus in on what Christmas is truly about. Although one's circumstances may change, God and His promises never change. Believers can rest in this assurance in Him, which is all He asks, for one to believe and trust in Him alone.

Additional Scripture References: Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 2:11-12

Kevin Bentley wraps up the "What to Look for in a Church" series based on the book of 1 Timothy. He teaches from 1 Timothy 6:11-21. According to today's passage, a follower of Jesus should be a man (or woman) of action. Paul is calling Timothy to be a man of God and a man of action. This is an example of how believers are called to live a godly life set apart from the rest of the world.
