When Does Satan Win?
February 12, 2023 • Tom Lance • Jeremiah 8, Jeremiah 9, Jeremiah 10
Application Questions: - Has there ever been a time when we pushed God far enough, where He could be close to saying of us – enough is enough? - Have you ever drifted from God? What safeguards have you put in your life to make sure this doesn’t happen. (It happens slowly, until we like Judah, look just like the culture around us.) - Forgiven people can still come to church with wrong motives and bring God insincere worship. What kind of worship did you bring Jesus today? - How easy is it for us to drown out the voice of God? Have you ever asked, how in the world can a believer act like that and think it is ok? Or better yet ask that question of ourselves. How could I have ever gotten myself to this place, involved in behavior like this? - Has something gone haywire in our thinking here on earth where we have elevated ourselves and our worth, thinking that we could do or accomplish anything apart from God’s great mercy, love, and blessing on us? How can this happen to us today? - What is that thing, that one part of your life that you chase after most, that one item that occupies your thoughts and desires? Is it under control, could it become a god to you? - Is there something in my life I give myself to that keeps me from giving myself to Jesus completely. If I stood before God today, what would He say it was?
