<\/a><\/figure>\nFor the shepherds are stupid \u2013 Jeremiah 10:21 (ESV)<\/p>\n God spends a great deal of time putting the people of God on blast in Jeremiah chapter 10. It\u2019s like He just thrust verbal body slam upon verbal body slam, one right after another. He takes down their wandering into idolatry, then their refusal to repent. And, He pushes back on the shepherds that they have in place.<\/p>\n Check out this past week\u2019s Bible study discussion on the topic. We hit some key areas throughout the Bible study and made our best effort to continually embark on making matters move swiftly while on live. Once the live stream is over, we can look at it from a different perspective and toss out some other ideas along with our questions.<\/p>\n On this Jeremiah Journey, we take an inductive Bible study approach to the Word of God and dive into the Book of Jeremiah chapter by chapter week by week. We tend to focus heavily on drawing out ideas and concepts from the text. Similar to an expository preaching style, our focus falls into the category of observation and conclusion with a lot of inquiry centered upon our life application. Stick with us throughout this study and keep the faith.<\/p>\n This past week\u2019s study was on chapter 10 and it did not disappoint us. Week by week, we get into discussion about the topic and theme based on the prophecy laid out in the Book of Jeremiah. Yep, I know, it isn\u2019t the usual type of study that you tend to hear many groups dialoguing on YouTube or TikTok. However, this recent chapter had me in stitches because its references to stupid shepherds and scattered sheep<\/a>. I think that\u2019s why we had so many first-time viewers because of that tantalizing title.<\/p>\n
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
and all their flock is scattered.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n
