Sunday Connect Lesson for November 20, 2022

Jeremiah likely wrote these prophetic words sometime around 600 BC as the Babylonians attacked Judah and deported many Jews back to Babylon. This chapter spoke of how God would restore joy and peace to his people, promising a new covenant with them.


Though Jeremiah ministered in a time of tumult and grief, and though his prophecies of destruction were difficult, he brought a message of hope to God's people.

Study the Word: Key Truth:   God restores joy and peace when His people repent of sin (Jeremiah 31:1-22). His promise reached broadly to all people to once again know His blessings.

Key Truth: God desires to bless His people as they walk with Him in the new covenant He promised (Jeremiah 31:23-40).  A new covenant bridges the way for us to walk closely with God. This new covenant was a heart covenant, not relying on rules and obligations, but secured by a perfect sacrifice and rooted in a personal relationship with God.
