Lesson 53 - Jeremiah - Part 1
Synopsis
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog, such a good friend of mine." Â Are you old enough to rember those lyrics from Three Dog Night's song, "Joy to the World"? Â Did you know that the original lyrics were once intended to be, "Jeremiah was a PROPHET, such a good friend of mine." Â It is true that Jeremiah was indeed a prophet, however his message didn't lend itself to winning over many friends! Â Fortunately for us, today we can study Jeremiah and gleen a lot of wonderful truth and insight.
The book of Jeremiah has so much material, such a depth of character presentation; it is tied closely within its historical setting, yet it maintains a vision of the future. It is a collection of material, not a chronological presentation, so it is ripe for (and demands) thorough and careful study.
Join Mark Lanier as we study two different questions:
-
Who was Jeremiah the man?
2. What was Jeremiah’s core message?
This week, Jeremiah, the man.
