1) Jeremiah 3:1-5
How did God describe his relationship with Israel/Judah? Jeremiah’s language here is very descriptive, yet difficult to experience. What is the key issue described in verse 3? How is following other gods like adultery? Is there any adultery in your relationship with God?
2) Jeremiah 3:6-11
How did the Lord compare the attitudes and actions of Israel versus Judah? Which was punished first? What was each one punished for? According to verse 11, who was more unrighteous? Why? In what way is a Christian more accountable for their actions and attitudes than an nonbeliever?
3) Jeremiah 3:12-17
Which direction was Jeremiah supposed to direct his words? Why? How did God describe His anger? What was the condition (the thing they were required to do) to receive God’s grace? God made a promise about how things would be after they repented. What was it? (See verse 15) In what way would the people’s view of the Ark of the Covenant be different? (This is a challenging question we will cover in class.) What will the difference be in the way people live? Do you think this time has already come, or is yet to come?
4) Jeremiah 4:1-4
Where is the hope in this passage? Where is the responsibility? What did the Lord require of them in order for them to return to relationship with Him? What would happen if they didn’t do this? What did the Lord mean when He said to “circumcise yourselves…your heart” in verse 4? Is there any other words to describe this? Are there any areas of your life that are like hard, fallow ground before God?
