In our 9:30 Adult Sunday School class we examined Jesus' trial before Pilate and Herod. Download mp3.
At 11:00 we began a new series on the book of Jeremiah. What is a prophet? Download the mp3.
At the 9:30 Sunday School class we examined Matthew's account of Judas' response to Jesus trial. The text very clearly compares Peter and Judas. Here is the mp3 link.
At 11:00 we finished up the American Idols series with a message on sexual idolatry. I had forgotten to take out the video camera (we're a small church and many of us wear many hats) so I don't have a video of the sermon. Also the mike was giving us trouble so the audio is from my small mp3 player. The audio quality isn't that good and you can hear the hard disk rev up in the recorder. Sorry. MP3 of the sermon.
Jeremiah is noticed and read from an exilic perspective. It is the record of the ministry of the prophet Jeremiah. It is not written as some perfunctory log. It is not written simply to satisfy our curiosity as to what was happening on Jerusalem before the great calamity of the exile. It was written as a way of processing a disaster which had already taken place. It is important to read the book from that perspective.
For both those who were taken away to Babylon as well as those who remained in the ruins of Judah, there was much though and discussion given to the question "How could this have happened?" The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and absorption of Judah into the Babylonian empire shook the children of Israel far deeper than 9/11 has done for Americans today simply because the impact was far more profound, extensive and long lasting. Israel’s very identity seemed shattered by the Babylonian conquest and exile.
