Introduction:  God commands Jeremiah to get His words written in a book and read to the leaders of Judah. The roll declares the judgment of God on Judah because of her disobedience. The purpose of the words is to turn the people back to God. What will the people do with the words of God?

1. THE WRITING OF THE ROLL (Jeremiah 36:1-4)
2. THE READING OF THE ROLL (Jeremiah 36:5-19)
3. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROLL (Jeremiah 36:20-26)
4. THE REWRITING OF THE ROLL (Jeremiah 36:27-32)

Conclusion: The king destroyed the word of the Lord, but in reality he only destroyed one copy of it. God gave the word to Jeremiah again because He is the preserver of His own word. In fact, according to verse 32, God even added to His own words. How do you receive the words of God? Do you cut them out by not obeying them or do you obey the commands of the Lord?
