This Week’s Bible Story
God can always be trusted (Jeremiah 31). God’s words brought hope to God’s people because His words were true. God can always be trusted. Jeremiah told about a day when God would forgive sin and change people’s hearts. Jesus’ death and resurrection provides forgiveness of sins. Through Jesus, we have new hearts and life with God forever.

Bible Story
Use the Story Cards provided to tell the Bible story to the kids in your group, pausing along the way to ask questions and get the kids engaged. (Optional: Use the storytelling tips below to make the story more engaging.)
Sit far away: Instruct the children sit on the other side of the room as you tell them the story. Use a loud and urgent voice as if you are very far away from them. As you finish the story, get closer to them and use a softer tone of voice. List God’s promises: As preschoolers listen to the story, prompt them to raise their hand each time God made a promise to His people through Jeremiah. Ask, “How did God’s promises meet their great need?” Big Idea
