Jeremiah 33:14-18; 33:31-34

As our journey through Jeremiah concludes, we arrive at the prophet’s vision of God’s unbreakable promise—a covenant not chiseled in stone, but etched upon the human heart.

This is a promise of release: from shame, from bitterness, from the illusion that salvation lies in power, politics, or our own perfection. Jeremiah speaks of a day when a righteous Branch will spring up—not a ruler of fear or self-interest, but one who brings justice and renewal to the land. In that future, no one will need to be taught how to find God—because grace will already live within them. It is a quiet but defiant hope: that God, not any human leader, is the one who saves—and that no act of injustice or abuse of power gets the final word. Join us this week as we finish this series with hearts open to mystery—trusting in the God who releases us from the ruins of what was and calls us toward the justice, mercy, and belonging of what could yet be.
