A new heart and a new covenant - Jeremiah 31:31-34

Donald Miller writes in Blue Like Jazz, '...I honestly don't believe we will be solving the greater human problem with our efforts. The problem is not a certain type of legislation or even a certain politician; the problem is the same that it has always been. I am the problem...This is the hardest principle in Christian spirituality for me to deal with. The problem is not out there; the problem is the needy beast of a thing that lives in my chest...' God deals with the problem of the human heart through forgiveness - through a new covenant in which he promises that people will know him personally, and he will implant his law in their minds and hearts. This sermon outline from Jeremiah 31:31-34 shows how God deals with the problem of the human heart and how Jesus inaugurates that new covenant. It can be used with the bible study found at this link.
