Jeremiah Session Wrapup
Last night, our Transformation Journey class focused on the second “major” prophet, Jeremiah. We focused a fair amount of time at the beginning of our session to the key dates in the history of Judah that led up to the writing of Jeremiah and the eventual destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 BC.
We spend the remaining time looking at the “accusations” that Jeremiah brought against his culture, the connection we might find between those and our world today, and discussing how we might be the type of Christ-followers who could lead our culture towards repentance and healing.
Handouts and slides from last night’s session can be downloaded below.

A few weeks ago we were talking about truth and facts, and the differences between those words. This week I was reading my new edition of Sojourners, and came across a quote that I thought might help…
“History shows us that at some point, some way, somehow, the truth comes to light. And the truth is deeper than a list of facts. The truth is facts in context, facts in use, facts and consequence, facts and meaning. Truth is the heart and soul of existence.” – Valerie Elverton Dixon

This week we ended with a discussion of spiritual practices and disciplines. Sojourners has a great article on that as well, “Everything Old is New Again: Ancient Christian practices are finding a home in post-modern Christianity.” Here’s the full article: http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&issue=soj0907&article=everything-old-is-new-again.
Have fun reading!
