1. Today is the first week in our Advent sermon series entitled, “The Long-Awaited Savior.” Today’s reading is two passages from the Prophet Jeremiah, take time to read them for yourself. What stands out to you as you read these passages? (Jeremiah 23:5-6 & 31:31-34)

2. Jeremiah lived during a time of spiritual failure and corrupt leadership, how does his promise of a coming “Righteous Branch” speak hope into his context? What similar longings for righteousness do you see in our world today?

3. In Jeremiah 31, God promises a new covenant written on the heart rather than on tablets of stone. What does it look like in practical terms for God’s law to be “written on our hearts” today?

4. Jeremiah connects the “Righteous Branch” with salvation, justice, and a new identity for God’s people. In what ways does Jesus fulfill these promises, and how does embracing this identity reshape how we live?
