Today is the 16th day of October. Welcome to the Daily Audio Vival.

I am Brian and it's wonderful to be here with you as we greet a brand new shiny sparkly week.

Step into it together and just stand here and look out over all that is to come.

We can't see, it's not all fleshed out, it's not all filled in.

We're going to fill it in. And how we fill it in will be the story of our week.

And so let's do it well with honor, with integrity, with reverence and in lockstab with the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

And it'll be a beautiful week. So let's aim in that direction.

We obviously are in a new week but we'll be picking up where we left off in the book of Jeremiah.

When we get to the New Testament we're moving into some new territory.

We're continuing with some letters. These are going to be personal letters known as the pastoral epistles.

And so we'll be moving into first Timothy today.

And we'll talk about that when we get there.

But first we'll read from the modern English version this week.

Jeremiah chapters 28 and 29.

In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, King of Judah,

in the fourth year and in the fifth month,

Hananniah, son of Azur, the prophet who was from Gibbian, spoke to me in the house of the Lord,

in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel.

I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Within two full years I will bring back into this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord,

that Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, took away from this place and carried the Babylon.
