Jeremiah 2911 and many Christians assume that this rules out the

possibility of suffering in their lives.

However, we need to consider this promise in its wider biblical context.

In today's message from Jeremiah chapter 29 David Platt helps us think through God's promise to

eternal hope. So here's David with a sermon titled The Plan of God in the Suffering We Experience, from Jeremiah Chapter 29.
