About the Lecture
Where is God's message found in our broken world of personal, ecclesial, and global need? This lecture explores the life of the prophet Jeremiah, finding in his embodied ministry a powerful word that anticipates the Word, Jesus Christ. In desperate times, Jeremiah reminds us of the Living Word who abides with and speaks hope to God's people.
