Sermon Notes:
Context:
The prophecy of Jeremiah in today's reading was spoken to the people of Israel while they were in exile.
The people had not remained faithful to the covenant made at Sinai.
The old covenant will be written in the people's hearts.
This section of Jeremiah is often referred to as The Promises of Restoration.
The tone of Jeremiah 31: 31-34 is eschatological- drawing on understandings of judgment, fulfilment and end times. Example- "The days are surely coming" (vs. 31)
Step in the New-
A new Covenant
A new chapter in life
A new tomorrow
A new God-opportunity
