Wednesday Bible Study: Jeremiah - Overcoming Life's Sorrows
Holy Cross’ Wednesday Bible Study meets each week at 6:00 p.m., after a fellowship dinner at 5:00 p.m.
Our series this first half of 2025, running from January through May, continues our focus on the book of Jeremiah. We’re tackling this fascinating and challenging book using Dr. R. Reed Lessing’s book, Overcoming Life's Sorrows: Learning from Jeremiah. He is the author of our previous Exodus study, Deliver Us. Like Deliver Us does with Exodus, this book helps us both to understand Jeremiah’s words and to see how God still speaks to our lives through them today. It is a joy to read, replete with anecdotes, alliteration, puns, mnemonics, and sound biblical wisdom. Click the image to download a preview from CPH. Click here for the study guide.
