Fusion: week of 3/8

FAMILY THEME: FAITHFULLY SHARE GOD'S MESSAGE

Jeremiah 7:1-34

Jeremiah was given a hard message in this chapter, and God

told him those who heard it would not heed it (verse 27). The

message rebuked God's people for their failure to obey God's

Word even while they continued to perform religious rituals.

1.  Outward Worship Does Not Make Up for Sinful Behavior

     (Jeremiah 7:1-15)

     We need to seek to develop the character of God and

     not outward religious conformity.

 
2.  True Worship Begins With Obedience

     (Jeremiah 7:16-23)

     A right relationship with God requires one's obedience.

     

3.  Ongoing Sin Leads to Judgment and Sorrow

     (Jeremiah 7:24-34)

     God has a remedy for sin, not an excuse to sin.
