Purpose
Bad Religion
February 5, 2023 • Damon Horton • Jeremiah 7, Jeremiah 8:1–3
Application Questions • Am I quick to help fill a church building while living comfortably with other idols in my heart? • When I’m here at church, am I fully present? • Lord, is there anyone I have treated unjustly that I need to pursue and seek forgiveness from? • Regularly, what does my worship to God look like? It is filled with rituals but absent of repentance? • Do they rhythms in my home, school, and work show Jesus is truly part of everything I do?
Holy Ears
January 29, 2023 • Daniel Bishop • Jeremiah 5, Jeremiah 6, Jeremiah 4
Application Questions: - How have you wrestled with God’s judgment? Do you believe people deserve it? Do you believe you deserve it? Why or why not? - Do you have any wicked thoughts you need to kick out right now and repent of today? - Are you more wise in doing any evil or wise in fearing the Lord today? - In what way does God want you to have holy ears and hear Him today? - What is He saying to you that you need to hear and obey? - What evidence in your life shows you take pleasure in the Word of God?
A Broken Purpose
January 15, 2023 • Daniel Bishop • Jeremiah 2
Application Questions: - What current situation in your life do you need to seek, “Where is the Lord?” - What do you need to remember about God from His Word and not forget? - When you forget about God, how do you try to replace God? - Have you abandoned God in any area of your life (the fountain of living water), and are you digging your own broken cisterns you know can’t hold any water? - Are you blaming God for anything that is the result of your foolishness?
Defining the Purpose
January 8, 2023 • Daniel Bishop • Jeremiah 36, Jeremiah 1
Application Questions: How can you use the platform God has given you (whether that’s from your family, your job, or your skills) to make God’s Word known to people who are destined to be judged? How can your family preserve the Word of God? How can you personally preserve the Word of God for the next generation? Are there any areas in your life where you are not listening and receiving God’s Word? Are you cutting off any of God’s Words and not obeying Him? How can you fulfill the purpose God has for you in your life? What does it look like for you to fear Him and obey His commands today?
