Sermon Summary
Sermon Clips
"Jeremiah is one of our Old Testament prophets, and he's known as the weeping prophet. He has a lot of kind of depressive preaching. He is one that also wrote Lamentations and was just known as being the downer. If there's any prophet that was certainly like, oh, I don't want to hear from you, it was Jeremiah." [00:26:18] (24 seconds)
"But while jailed, God calls Jeremiah to buy land. Random as that is. He says, you know, the Babylonians are at our front door. They're going to conquer. They're going to take over the city and take over the land. But he says, Jeremiah, I want you, while you're in jail, contact your relative and go buy that plot of land that they have." [00:28:31] (22 seconds)
"Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem's wounds and give it prosperity and true peace. I'll restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their towns. I will cleanse them from their sins against me and forgive all their sins of rebellion." [00:30:46] (17 seconds)
"This empty city and other towns outside of Jerusalem will once again be filled with laughter and joy, singing and celebration. People will get married. People will have parties when everything comes back. The hillsides, though the flocks are gone, they've been taken or they've fled. Once again, shepherds will lead their sheep, their rams, their cattle through here. They'll count them. Things will be prosperous once more." [00:34:02] (30 seconds)
"Advent is a waiting, an anticipation for the Messiah. At strange points, we're in a time of waiting. We're in a time of waiting. We're in a time of waiting. We're in a time of waiting. We're in a time of waiting. We're in a time of waiting. And for us, this week marks the first Sunday of the church calendar." [00:34:39] (12 seconds)
"Jeremiah refers to this leader in the line of David to redeem and restore Jerusalem. This description, this description of a branch that springs forth. The tree's been cut down, but a branch springs forth. Branch of David also goes back to saying the branch of Jesse, David's father." [00:41:00] (21 seconds)
"I'd like to describe hope as an anchor when we are fighting rough seas. The anchor doesn't stop the storm, but it holds us firm during the turmoil so we don't get lost, so we don't get swept away." [00:42:49] (17 seconds)
"A child was born of the branch of David. A child who would grow in stature and righteousness, who would lead a revolution against the forces of darkness, not against the Roman Empire, but against the empire of sin." [00:43:30] (16 seconds)
"If we believe that Christ, that Jesus, is our righteousness, the prophets also say he would make his people righteous as well. So, as much as we're looking forward to the hope of Christ and him coming, we also need to reflect on, are we ready? Are we able?" [00:44:42] (27 seconds)
"When everything was dark around them and devastation, was taking them from their land, they had a small hope. Hope in the branch of David. Hope in a Messiah who would come. Would not pluck them out of that right away, but would be for the history of their" [00:45:50] (24 seconds)
