Throughout the book of Jeremiah, God repeatedly calls His people to listen, hear, repent, and obey. But what happens when God’s people persistently refuse to listen?
In this episode of Luke 21, Steve Wood examines Jeremiah’s powerful warnings about the grave consequences of persistent, intentional disobedience. Jeremiah repeatedly reminds Judah that God sent His prophets “persistently”—day after day and for generations—but the people refused to listen or turn from their evil ways.
Steve explores passages from Jeremiah 7, 11, 15, 21, 25, 35, 44, and 12, examining what happened to the Kingdom of Judah after centuries of refusing God’s warnings. The coming destruction of Jerusalem and Babylonian captivity demonstrate the serious consequences of continually rejecting God’s voice.
The episode also considers Jeremiah’s sobering warning that the consequences of persistent disobedience are not limited to individuals: “If any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it” (Jeremiah 12:17).
Listen now and discover why Jeremiah’s message about listening to God remains a powerful warning for us today.
