Responding to God's Word: Hear, Repent, Obey

Have you ever experienced that? Friends, that's why I believe we need to predetermine that we are going to obey God's word. Here's some predestination for you. Predetermine what that you're gonna obey God's word. That you are going to listen to what God's word has to say. That even when you don't agree with it, you're gonna trust that God's word is best, and you're gonna obey what it says. [00:45:03] (33 seconds)  #ChooseObedience

Verse 13, he says, now therefore, So Jeremiah is making a point here. He said, yes. I'm preaching judgment, but look at this. Therefore, amend your ways and your your ways. Change what you're doing and obey the voice of the Lord and turn back to God. Obey the voice of the Lord your God, then the Lord will relent concerning the doom that he has pronounced against you.

Friends, that is how we need to respond to the word of God. Amen? Yes. Read it. Amen? Amen. Hear it. Listen to it. Pay attention to it. Love it. Obey it, friends. But even more than that, seek to know it. To to be able to defend it, friends, to stand up for it and to proclaim it. [01:33:57] (27 seconds)  #ReadKnowDefend

Friends, Jeremiah responded to the word of God with obedience. He didn't want to at first go all the back to the first chapter. Oh, God, not me. You know, very similar to Moses. God, I I I I'm not your guy. I can't speak. I'm whatever. But what we see here is Jeremiah continually learned obedience. Jeremiah became a man when God spoke, he was God's man. God called him to say some pretty difficult things to some pretty difficult people who became increasingly hostile to him the more he had to say to them from God.

My question for you this morning is, how about you? Friends, will you obey God's word even when it's hard? Will you obey the word of God Even when you don't want to, even in the simple things of life, forgiving somebody, being nice and kind to somebody who's mean and ugly to you. Friends, those are the everyday things of life that we need to obey God in. Amen? Will you obey the word of God even when it goes against every fiber of your being? How dare they treat me that way? I can't be nice to them. [01:35:52] (48 seconds)  #ObeyWhenItsHard

tell them what I tell you to say and don't sugarcoat it. Don't back off of it. Don't think, well, I'm gonna kinda give them a little bit. Then no, don't don't diminish a word. Give it all to them. Let them hear the strength of what I have to say to them. Verse three. Perhaps, everyone will listen and turn from his evil way that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purposed to bring on them because of the evil of their doings.

And he keeps saying, perhaps they will hear this judgment and will repent. Now, we know friends, God knows already what the people were gonna do and how they're gonna respond, but he's giving them every chance, every opportunity in the book to do what? Repent. To repent. To repent. And Jeremiah continues to proclaim to them just like, and we're gonna see this in just a second, all the prophets before him and some some even at that same time were telling them also to repent.

Number one, he's trying to keep us from going to hell and help us become part of his family. He sent Jesus as we've talked to pastor Brandon so wonderfully explained to us this morning to die for us so that we can be a part of his family. Amen? Amen. So understand that God's trying to help you. Understand that God has your best interest at heart, friends, and learn to listen to correction without getting mad and without getting upset.
