Jeremiah: The Suffering God and His Prophet is an ONGROUND ONLY Term 1 Session 1 (7:00–8:15pm) course held at the Messianic Studies Institute (4950 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43230) starting on 9/9/2019.
Course Description:
Want to feel the very heart of God? No one got closer to it than the Prophets! Jeremiah was a person in pain who screamed, wept, and moaned because he was called to convey the very heart of God toward God's straying people. And sometimes he had to exhibit strange object lessons to capture their attention. Jeremiah is the Prophet who delivered these words of the LORD: "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart" (Jer 29:13). While there is no required textbook, besides the Book of Jeremiah itself Abraham Joshua Heschel's masterpiece on the prophets will be our guide.
