(Un)successful
4 episodes
What is success? How do we define it today? Wealth? Power? Influence? Money? Having ‘the good life’? If this is the definition, the prophet Jeremiah was quite unsuccessful. God gave him a message and it seemed like no one listened, he was poor, and by all accounts treated quite poorly but in the eyes of God he was successful, he declared God’s message with faith and conviction despite personal cost. May we learn from Jeremiah on how to be successful.

Is there a silver lining? Does Jeremiah finish his ministry with a hope of a better tomorrow? What about us today? Do we have a hope of something better? Hope for today? Tomorrow? Where do we place our hope while living in the hurting broken world?

1. Adrian Peterson 7 May 2022 (Un)successful - The Call
Adrian PetersonThe first message God gave Jeremiah was not for the people but it was for him, it was his calling. A call to take the words of God to ‘the nations’. Like Jeremiah you and I have been called to take the words and message of Jesus to our world. We weren’t called to be successful but to GO!
