Bible Passage: Jeremiah 36
Memory Verse: Matthew 24:35 (NIV)
Bible Truth: God’s Word cannot be destroyed

Lesson Introduction:
Our journey through the book of Jeremiah has shown us it isn’t always easy to be faithful to the Lord. Sometimes God will ask us to do things that are not fun. We can trust that God has a reason for wanting us to do difficult things. Jeremiah was given a challenging task. He presented God’s message to people who didn’t want to hear it. In today’s lesson, we’ll see a king attempt to destroy God’s message. I guess he didn’t know God is more powerful than a king!
