Sitting under the preaching ministry and leadership of Joshua Harris is one of the great benefits to now living in Gaithersburg. Sunday, my family and I were treated to the first in a several part sermon series titled “Old Paths,” pastor Harris’ new sermon series through the prophetic book of Jeremiah.
If you’ve been reading TSS you know I want to better understand and apply the Old Testament (see our books of the year 2007). And so Sunday as I learned about Jeremiah, it occurred that pastor Harris was actually modeling something of Old Testament hermeneutics. If you struggle to understand the connections between the Old Testament and our contemporary lives and culture I would recommend this opening message. I believe this sermon models how we interpret and understand the ancient prophets in our world today. Listen for Jeremiah, listen for wisdom, but listen hermeneutically, too.
thanks for the post about the new Jeremiah series, man that was a great message, i love his description of theology, “studying God the way an ant studies the Pacific ocean”, thats great stuff!
Christ is all,
Bill
thanks for the direction to great sermons! btw, what are you using to embed the audio in the “now on my ipod” section? blessings! john
looks like WordPress’ Podpress plugin, that my guess, I use Podpress on my church’s website and it looks similar, very easy to use too!
i’m not seeing that in the widgets box. do i need to go somewhere else to get it?
