In this sermon, Harry Pitts examines Jeremiah’s calling as described in Jeremiah 1:4‑5, emphasizing that Jeremiah was not born into a prophetic lineage but was set apart by God’s foreknowledge and purpose to speak truth to a collapsing nation. Pitts highlights that Jeremiah’s tears were acts of intercession and conviction rather than signs of weakness, and that his perseverance despite suffering serves as a model. He then applies this to contemporary “Jeremiahs”—counselors, prayer leaders, and truth‑tellers—who bear the weight of the world’s sin and often weep over what others ignore. The core warning is that such burden‑bearers face emotional fatigue and isolation, and the sermon urges listeners to carry others’ burdens without becoming the burden themselves.

Chapters

So let's start with the first prophet, Jeremiah. You find this in Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 4 through 5, and this is what the word states. It says, before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee. Hear me, Jeremiah wasn't born into prophecy by bloodline. He was set apart by purpose. God's foreknowledge carried his destiny, He spoke truth to a collapsing nation. He wept, he suffered, but he never quit. This man of God never quit. He had fight inside of him. His tears were intercession, not weakness. When culture compromised, he carried conviction. Today's Jeremiahs are burden bearers who feel the weight of the world's sin. They cry over what others scroll past. They may be counselors, prayer leaders, or truth-tellers in dark places. God shapes compassion under pressure. The danger— hear me, these Jeremiah types— the danger is emotional fatigue or isolation. Learn to carry the burden without becoming the burden.
