Question to consider:

1 - How might laments to God be a positive force in your own spiritual development?

The Biblical Wild: Jeremiah 46-Lamentations 4, Psalms 63-68


While the first part of Jeremiah are a collection of prophesies roughly set out in a chronological sequence, most of the remainder of the book are a series of narratives describing the experiences and activities of Jeremiah.

Questions to consider:

1 - What conditions are necessary for you to respond positively to a message of hope?

2 - How might you re-imagine a difficult circumstance as one which offers hope rather than despair?

Week XXXVII: Jeremiah 31-45, Psalms 57-62


This week, we continue on in the book of Jeremiah and at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

The Book of Jeremiah, a collection that gave shape to an emerging self-understanding among the Jewish people begins by issuing a series of dire warnings that led to feelings of despair and feelings of disillusionment.

Question to consider:

1 - What is your own experience of the effectiveness of dire warnings?

2 - What makes warnings work to change behavior? Not work?
