God has called upon some notable messengers to speak throughout history and some of the most notable have come at the precipice of world-upending trauma. Far from being fortune-tellers who predict the future, prophets are God’s truth-tellers. They are often trying to persuade God’s people to reform or face the consequences. But, what separates a prophet from someone with a strongly-held opinion?

The first of a special Summer Sermon Series on the biblical prophet Jeremiah, who was a master of symbolism and imagery through the lens of one of the 20th Century’s greatest theologian and political philosophers, Reinhold Niebuhr, who is perhaps best known as the author of the “Serenity Prayer.” His masterwork, “Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics,” was published in 1932 as the world was about to experience the shock of WWII.

This week we’ll hear the call story of Jeremiah and an example of one of his early proclamations. We’ll quickly understand why he didn’t relish the job! We’ll explore the definition of a prophet, how and why God calls them, and how we can listen for God’s challenging truths in our challenging times.

Join us this Sunday, July 13th, at 9:30am in-person or live online. The recordings of any you miss live will be available on our Facebook page for later viewing.
