Jeremiah 39:2-7

Every pastor faces the same trap that destroyed King Zedekiah: leading from fear instead of faith. This isn't about becoming a perfect leader—it's about avoiding the three specific mistakes that cost him his kingdom, his family, and his life. This is Biblical wisdom for leaders who refuse to repeat history.

This Forbidden Faith Bible plan looks at what the Bible teaches about harassment and persecution and calls us to consider our role in helping those who are targeted for their beliefs.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Eight of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled ‘A Destroyer Carries Judah into Exile: 629 BC–587 BC’.

How can the heroes of the Bible inspire us to greatness? Join us in this four-day reading plan as Kristi Krauss motivates us with Esther's risk-taking, Job's hidden treasure, Isaiah's hope for good, and Jeremiah's endurance of opposition. Don't be surprised if these testimonies transform your life.
