Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord? | Jeremiah 32:27 Sermon on Faith, Obedience, and Restoration

God calls us to trust Him and obey His word even when circumstances look hopeless, reminding us that no siege, failure, or delay is too hard for the Lord.

Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord? (Jeremiah 32:27)

God Speaks in Hopeless Places

Jeremiah 32 opens in a place of confinement, fear, and national collapse. Jerusalem is under siege, the people are suffering, and Jeremiah himself is imprisoned. Yet it is in this dark place that the Word of the Lord comes. God’s voice is not limited by our circumstances. Even when we feel trapped by pressure, failure, or uncertainty, God still speaks with clarity and authority.

Faith That Obeys When It Makes No Sense

God commands Jeremiah to buy a piece of land in a city that is about to be destroyed. This act makes no natural sense. Yet obedience to God is not about logic—it is about trust. By purchasing the land, Jeremiah makes an investment in a future he cannot yet see. Faith often requires obedience before understanding.

Hope Anchored in God’s Promise

God declares that houses, fields, and vineyards will one day return to the land. Restoration is promised even after judgment. Jeremiah momentarily wrestles with the reality around him, but God responds by reminding him of who He is: the Lord, the God of all flesh. The problem is never God’s ability—it is our tendency to qualify His promises by what we see.

A Question That Demands Faith

God ends the conversation with a question that still confronts us today: “Is there anything too hard for Me?” The answer calls us to stop looking at Babylon at the gate and start trusting the God who already stands in tomorrow.

‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You…
You show lovingkindness to thousands… the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Great in counsel and mighty in work…
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
