Lesson for July 16, 2017: Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1)

This lesson treatment is published in the July 9, 2017, issue of The Lookout magazine, and is also available online at www.lookoutmag.com. ______ By Mark Scott It would seem that when God wants to make a prophet, he first takes him to the desert and crushes him.
