		    <h4>Jeremiah Week 12 </h4>
			<h1><a href="https://spu.edu/lectio/the-end/">The End</a></h1>

			<p>If things are constantly destabilized, it is very hard to live faithfully. Nevertheless, in particular times and places, God needs to shake things up.  Sending prophets is one of the ways God does this. <a href="https://wp.me/p2btce-1K6">Full reading and audio &raquo;</a></p>

		    <h4>Jeremiah Week 11 </h4>
			<h1><a href="https://spu.edu/lectio/the-blind-leading-the-blind/">The Blind Leading the Blind</a></h1>

			<p>The thing about idolatry, however, is that it often induces a case of spiritual blindness so that you can’t properly diagnose your own illness. This is exactly where the people of Judah find themselves. <a href="https://wp.me/p2btce-1JS">Full reading and audio &raquo;</a></p>

		    <h4>Jeremiah Week 10 </h4>
			<h1><a href="https://spu.edu/lectio/solidarity-in-suffering/">Solidarity in Suffering</a></h1>

			<p>The word of the LORD finally comes to pass. Jerusalem falls and the Babylonians take over. The destruction is terrifying and the suffering is immense. After months of mistreatment at the hands of Jerusalem’s political powers, Jeremiah turns out to have been right. <a href="https://wp.me/p2btce-1JF">Full reading and audio &raquo;</a></p>

		    <h4>Jeremiah Week 9 </h4>
			<h1><a href="https://spu.edu/lectio/restoration-and-a-new-covenant/">Restoration and a New Covenant</a></h1>

			<p>Without question, the book of Jeremiah is unrelenting in its account of the LORD’s judgment of Judah. There is much more in this text about plucking up, pulling down, destroying, and overthrowing than there is about building and planting (Jeremiah 1:10). This week’s chapters, however, focus on restoration and renewal using a variety of styles and images. <a href="https://wp.me/p2btce-1Jv">Full reading and audio &raquo;</a></p>
