About this listen

In a powerful exploration of knowing and understanding God, guest preacher Josh Harris draws us into the compelling narrative of Jeremiah 9, where the stark contrast between living with and without divine knowledge unfolds. Through the lens of David's life—particularly his response to personal tragedy following the Bathsheba incident—Josh illuminates how true understanding of God's character transforms our response to life's challenges. He masterfully weaves together David's unwavering faith, even in the face of losing his child, with the profound truth that God practices "steadfast love, justice, and righteousness." The sermon's heart-stirring message reveals that genuine knowledge of God isn't merely intellectual, but deeply personal and transformative, demonstrated through David's remarkable declaration that God's love is "better than life." Josh concludes with an urgent appeal to move beyond surface-level spirituality, challenging listeners to fully invite God into every aspect of their lives and commit to regular Scripture reading—not just as a ritual, but as the pathway to experiencing the profound love that surpasses all earthly understanding.
