In the first half of tonight“s study, we examine the historical and cultural setting of God“s promise to gather and prosper Israel in Jer 31:10-14. We chose this particular section of scripture because it is the second psalm in the Morning Office of the first Thursday of the four week Psalter. The first half concludes with a discussion of sections of scripture that can make us uncomfortable about God such as killing 185,000 Assyrians as they are getting ready to attack Jerusalem.

The second half continues this discussion and branches into questions about who are Christians and the necessity of the organized Church.
