Topic
Overcoming Life’s Sorrows: Learning From Jeremiah
Based upon Dr. Lessing’s most recent CPH book, this year’s fall pastors’ conference will not only discover how Jeremiah survived and overcame multiple Babylonian sieges and deportations, but also apply the book’s truths to our lives and the people we serve. Each session will be a mix of Old Testament history, exegesis, interpretation, Christology, and application.
