This Week’s Theme: Christians Are Called to Be Honest with the LORD
This Week’s Word is Hypocrisy: An outward pretence, masking an inner reality.
Memory Verse: Titus 1:16 “They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.”
Essence of the Text in a Sentence: When faced with two choices, the remnant of Judah ask Jeremiah to pray to the LORD for them, only to reject the answer they received.
Sermon Proposition: When faced with choices, every Christian should honestly seek the LORD through prayer and submit to His way.
Sermon Objective: I want those in attendance to acknowledge and turn from their need for God to give them what they want.
INTRODUCTION: WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE!
DECISION DAY! WHAT TO EAT.
WHERE TO GO! WHAT TO DO? DAVID AND HIS MIGHTY MEN FOUND THEMSELVES IN THIS PLACE.
TRANSITION:
Sermon Text: Jeremiah 42
I.
DO YOU SEEK DIRECTION?
Jeremiah 42:2; Proverbs 3:5-6;
Explain: DON’T YOU SEE IT THAT THESE LEFT OVER HEBREWS, THEY DID THEY RIGHT THING THE SOUGHT DIRECTION FROM GOD.
LIKE DAVID AND HIS MIGHTY MEN WHO FOUND THEMSELVES IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS.
THESE PEOPLE RESPONDED BY ASKING THE LORD FOR DIRECTION.
THEY TOOK PROVERBS 3:5-6 AND LIVED IT OUT
R
LEAN ON THE LORD
LOOK TO THE LORD
THE WANTED TO KNOW SHOULD THE RUN TO EGYPT OR REMAIN IN JUDAH
TODAY YOU MAY BE FACING THE DECISION
TO SAY YES OR NO
TO GO LEFT OR RIGHT
TO STOP OR GO
TO TRUST OR DOUBT
What has been your approach to making decisions?
Prove your approach with scripture.
Because Christ has provided Christians with an approach to decision making, how will you use the Word of God to change your mindset, feelings, and actions toward making decisions?
II.
DO YOU SHOW DETERMINATION ?
Jeremiah 42:5-6; Proverbs 4:27; James 1:5-6; 1 Corinthians 15:58;
Explain: [know this about God / know this about man]
Apply: [embrace this about God / embrace this about man]
Illustrate: [show an example of one who knows and loves God’s Word, Will, and Ways]
Name the times and the ways you are not steadfast in following God?
III.
DO YOU SHOW DISTRUST?
Jeremiah 42:10-22; 43:2-4; 17:9-10; 6:13-14; Titus 1:16: Jeremiah 41:17-18; 22:21; Proverbs 30:12; 14:12;
Explain: THE DAY CAME.
THE ANSWER FROM THE LORD CAME 10 DAYS LATER.
JEREMIAH GATHER EVERYONE TOGETHER.
HERE IS THE ANSWER, STAY HERE.
REMAIN AND LIVE
RUN AND DIE
SEEMS SIMPLE, FOLLOW GOD, RIGHT.
CHRISTIAN HUSBANDS, JUST FOLLOW GOD.
WIVES JUST FOLLOW GOD.
JUST DO WHAT HE SAYS, RIGHT.
CHILDREN, WORKERS, FRIENDS
LOOK AT THEIR ANSWER Jer 43:2-3
BUT THE LORD DIAGNOSIS BEFORE Jer 42:20
Track record of not hearing
They think that they are right.
Look at Prov 30:12
Illustrate: [show an example of one who knows and loves God’s Word, Will, and Ways]
This passage communicates God attribute of ALL-KNOWING, how have you shown people around you that you believe that God is ALL-KNOWING and you are not?
How do you show this at home, on the job, in the community?
Because Christ has provided Christians with the tools to please God, how will you use the Word of God, His Spirit, and His people to change your mindset toward wanting Him to do your will?
Conclusion: A concluding statement to recapture interest (a reason to remember).
Restatement of main idea and summary of main points so that the listeners will respond (specific action or attitude change) to God’s will.
Respond to God’s Message by
Committing Your Way to the LORD
Resting in the Lord
Waiting on/for the LORD
Delighting in God
Trusting God
Road map to biblical transformation:
Renew your mind concerning misleading, deceitful, or hypocritical speech.
Jeremiah 9:5 “5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.”
Jeremiah 17:9 “9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
Jeremiah 17:10 “10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”
