The Swelling of the Jordan

Michael Gowens' 9/19/21 sermon focuses on Jeremiah 12:5 and the Lord's surprising answer to the prophet's perplexity. From the contrast between the calm of training and the crisis of battle in this passage, Gowens highlights the Lord's ability to use pressure and tension to mature his servants for greater usefulness in ministry, insisting that the little struggles we are called to endure today may very well be preparations for greater service tomorrow.
