Introduction: This chapter occurs at the time when the Babylonians had been besieging Jerusalem but were called away for a time (Jeremiah 37:5). During this time of relief, Jeremiah was seen going out into the land and was falsely accused of falling out to the enemy (Jeremiah 37:11-15). Jeremiah was proclaiming the word of the Lord as he was called to do, but it seemed that all men were turning against him.

1. THE PLOT AGAINST JEREMIAH (Jeremiah 38:1-6)
2. THE RESCUE OF JEREMIAH (Jeremiah 38:7-13)
3. JEREMIAH’S AUDIENCE WITH ZEDEKIAH (Jeremiah 38:14-23)
4. THE ENFORCED SECRECY OF JEREMIAH (Jeremiah 38:24-28)

Conclusion: Notice how God protected His prophet even though so many were against him. It is true that Jeremiah went through many trials. We do not know the trials that we will have to face for the sake of the Lord. But we can be sure that God will be with us in those trials.
