Jeremiah & Lamentations

Jeremiah & Lamentations
Instructor: Landon Rowell

Getting To Know The Teacher

My name is Landon Rowell; I’m married to Kristin, have two biological children who are 15 and we have one officially adopted child and two unofficially adopted children.
I am a 2005 graduate of the Brown Trail School of Preaching and started my first full-time work with the Hydro church of Christ in June of 2005.
I was the president of the BTSOP Alumni Association for over eleven years and director of the BTSOP Alumni Lectureship for seven years as well.
I have been the preacher here in Ramona, OK since December 2010. Therefore, as of today, I have been preaching for 18 years.

What To Expect From Your Teacher

Diligence: I will seek to always be on time, fully prepared, and ready to teach God’s word. I am a full-time preacher and there are times when situations cannot be avoided but I will make certain none of those are
of my own shortcomings.
A Strict Adherence To Logic & Reason: I married an artsy girl but I myself am not and I am very “black and white” in my teaching style. Now, biblically this is how it needs to be but I also know I’m not perfect, but I try and keep my opinions out of classes such as this unless my opinion is asked.
Class Participation: I enjoy class participation and encourage it because I’m not afraid to go after a rabbit or two depending on the time we might have. Due to time, we might have to cut it short or come back to it later on. We might set up a time for us to come and study just that at some other date if necessary.

What The Teacher Expects From You

I will expect you to exhibit Christian attitudes exemplified in Galatians 5:16-26.
I will expect you to take God’s word seriously in this study (2 Timothy 2:15).
I will expect you to ask me for help if you don’t understand something, I don’t usually bite (Galatians 6:2).
I will expect you to let me know if you think I have arrived in error in anything I have taught (Galatians 2:11). I am not perfect, and of all the times widows have quickly met me at the back door to tell me they didn’t agree with something I said, only once have I been right and them wrong.
