In the choking half-light of Zedekiah’s secret chamber, Jeremiah steps out of the prison stink still smelling of rusted chains, yet his eyes blaze like lamp-wicks trimmed for judgment. The frightened king, all velvet robes and hollow bravado, whispers the question every backslidden soul finally asks: “Any word from the Lord?” Without flinch or flourish, the prophet hurls a two-word thunderclap—“There is”—and the echo splits the palace, laying bare the peril of stale religion and the promise of piercing truth.
Austin Gatherings uses the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, and Pastor Mark Jones will be preaching today from Jeremiah 37:17.
