Whiteboard: Jeremiah 31:31-34

This coming Sunday we will continue our Lenten journey through the great covenantal promises of God. In Jeremiah 31:31-34 we receive the promise from God of a covenant that we will not be able to break or turn away from. Rather, this promise will forever mark us as God's people, and the Lord will be our God.

Scripture gives us a strange turn of phrase this Sunday, and we are going to spend time in worship mulling it over.

"I will write the law on their hearts..."

What does it mean to have the law written on our hearts? What it would look like to be so marked by God's will and God's ways? What would it feel like to God's righteousness and God's love coursing through our veins with each and every beat of our hearts? 

Come and join us this Sunday at First Christian Church Scottsdale to celebrate the promises of God!

Jeremiah 31:31-34 -- A New Covenant

The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, ‘Know the Lord’, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.
