This Week’s Theme: Christians Are Called to Brag on the LORD
This Week’s Word is Boast (glory): Negatively, it means self-confidence.
Positively, it means to trust or put one’s confidence in God.
Memory Verse: 2 Corinthians 10:17 “17 But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.””
Essence of the Text in a Sentence: Jeremiah instructs the people to never boast about their intellect, wealth, or strength, but to boast in knowing and understanding the LORD.
Sermon Proposition: God instructs His people to boast in knowing and understanding that He operates with mercy, justice, and righteousness.
Sermon Objective: I want all Christians in attendance to boast about their relationship with God through Christ and for all non-believers in attendance to know God through Christ so they can boast in Him.
Sermon Text: Jeremiah 9:23-24
INTRODUCTION:
TRANSITION: Sermon Proposition: God instructs His people to boast in knowing and understanding that He operates with mercy, justice, and righteousness.
I. NOT BECAUSE OF MY MENTAL ABILITY
Jeremiah 9:23; 8:8-9; 9:11-12; 1 Corinthians 3:19; 1:19
GOD ADDRESSED THE SMART, THE INTELLIGENT, THE WISE MEN LIVING IN JUDAH AT THE END OF THE REIGN OF JOSIAH.
HE LAMENTED IN Jeremiah 4:22 SAYING
GOD’S PEOPLE USED THEIR MIND TO PERFORM EVIL RATHER THAN GOOD.
HE ALSO QUESTIONED THEIR INTELLIGENT.
LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID TO THEM IN Jeremiah 8:8-9
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BUT THEY REJECTED GOD’S WORD.
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT DESTRUCTION WAS ON THE WAY
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
HERE GOD’S QUESTION IN Jeremiah 9:12
THEY HAD NO REASON TO GLORY IN THEIR WISDOM
THEY HAD NO REASON TO BRAG ABOUT THEIR WISDOM
THEY HAD NO REASON TO BOAST ABOUT THEIR WISDOM
THEIR WISDOM DID NOT BRING REAL PEACE, REAL JOY, REAL HAPPINESS
PAUL TOLD THE SAINT’S IN CORINTH 1 Corinthians 3:19
THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD NEVER LEADS TO GOD.
APPLY: CAN YOU HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO YOU, TODAY?
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PLACED ALL YOUR STOCK IN SECULAR EDUCATION
CAN YOU HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO YOU, TODAY?
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PLACED ALL YOUR STOCK IN STREET SMARTS
CAN YOU HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO YOU, TODAY?
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PLACED ALL YOUR HOPE IN YOUR WISDOM
GOD SAID IN 1 Corinthians 1:19 [HE] will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
DON’T DO IT ASTUTE PEOPLE
DON’T DO IT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE
DON’T DO IT SMART PEOPLE
DON’T BRAG ABOUT THE SMART MOVES YOU MADE
DON’T BRAG ABOUT THE SMART DECISIONS YOU MADE
DON’T BRAG ABOUT THE SMART CHOICES YOU MADE
DON’T BRAG ABOUT YOUR WISDOM, BUT RATHER SAY
I WILL NOT THINK MORE HIGHLY OF MYSELF THAN I OUGHT TO.
TELL THIS WORLD, YOUR PRIDE, AND THE DEVIL, “YES I AM GOING TO BOAST, BUT NOT IN MY WISDOM.
GOD INSTRUCTED THE PEOPLE TO ALSO
Through His Word, what sin(s) did the Holy Spirit convict you of today, even in a small way?
