To Destroy and Build

Today we begin a new sermon series on the book of Jeremiah. We start with chapter one, the call of Jeremiah to prophetic ministry.

"Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me,
'Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.'"
(Jeremiah 1:9–10)
