So there I was minding my own business one Sunday morning walking into the church building. Some old guy called me over and says, "hey would you be willing to preach a sermon, give a short talk, or teach a class?"
"Yeah...ok."
"Good, can you teach the Sunday morning class?"
"Yeah...ok."
"Great, thanks....it's Jeremiah"
That's about how it went down.
That old guy who called me over is Dave Kostos, a beloved brother in Christ. (And really, he's not that old). I do need to say that even though I have been a Christian for almost 37 years, I have never made a thorough study of Jeremiah! I have been a teacher for most of those years to our youth. We would touch on the prophets and how they fit into the Jesus story, but for the most part....Jeremiah was a brief cursory study for me.
I have to say, I'm excited about this journey!
Dave sent over the material today and it looks like this will be a long haul. My next entry will be a syllabus of sorts to plot out the next many months ahead.
LET'S DO THIS!
