  Speaker 1: You're listening to His Hop Radio, where faith, hope, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hip hop unite to glorify Jesus Christ. Broadcasting from Las
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Vegas to the world. This is verse by verse studying
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: God's Word, one verse at a time. Now, let's tap
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: in with your host, mister His.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hopes the headquarters. Hello, His Hop Los Vegas.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Looks like you lost another one? Yo, yo, yo ho.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: What's what's up? Manly?
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Once again, this is your brother. Listen to His Hop
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: and I want to welcome you to the His Hob
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Radio podcasts. We present our verse by verse Bible study.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: This is where we open the word at God, where
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: we look at it thoroughly, we comb over it with
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: the fine comb. Today we're gonna be in Jeremiah chapter
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: seventeen and we're gonna look at verses one through thirteen.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a powerful section of scripture today. Today,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah is gonna get right to the heart of the problem.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: This is where they put their trust, and this is
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: where we gotta be careful. We have to examine where
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: are we putting our trust as well. Their sin will
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: be exposed and God will always warn us before consequences
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: hit our lives man. Trusting in human flesh is always
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a bad plan. It's a bad idea because God has
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: everything that we need. We don't need to turn to
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: the left or to the right. And God is trying
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: to draw us in and draw us closer to Him. Amen.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: So we're going to talk about sin, trust, the human heart.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: We're going to talk about prosperity, spiritual roots, and ultimately
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: where our hope needs to be. So bucket you see,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Belts is going to be a nice little ride today.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: And also I want to invite you to join us
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: in a life chat. This is where we encourage each other.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: This is where we connect. This is actually where we
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: apply what we learn in the Word of God.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: God wants us to fellowship with one another. He wants
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: iron and sharp and iron. The Bible says that our
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: hearts are evil and desperately wicked. Who can know it?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And so our accountability Partner segment on this podcast is
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: designed to keep us on that narrow path that leads
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to life. He cannot trust the evil dictates of our
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: own hearts, and so it's good for us to have
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: people that can speak the word of God when we
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: have some crazy thoughts some crazy thing we want to
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: do right, crazy desire that's just overwhelming us. Some of
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: us are like inches away of doing something crazy, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. It's good to call that brother,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: that sister up and say hey, I want to go
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: do this. This is what I'm tempted with, and then
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: we can pray together get the victory. And also we
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: knew our minds. Amen. So go to the top level menu,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: hit that drop down and then.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Go over.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: To the life Chat. Type in your username, email address,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: and password. And once you log in, give us a
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: shout out and we will say welcome to the family.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: We appreciate y'all, and we will shout you out right back. Now,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: let's go before our father, heavenly Father, thank you for
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: your presence, Oh God, thank you for your presence on
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: this podcast. Father God. We ask Lord that you will
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: use this Father God, that you will use your word,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Father God, to penetrate the hearts, the minds, and the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: souls of your people. Father God, we are looking for
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the one. The word says you leave the ninety nine
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: to save the one. So we ask Father God, oh Lord,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Holla lujah, Father God, that you will use this podcast
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: to bring your children home. Oh God, Oh Lord, help
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: us everyone listening, Oh God, under the sound of my voice. God,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: let us be ready when you return. Yes, Lord, hallelujah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Let this podcast help your people to be ready because
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: we know that your return is coming soon. We thank
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you and we praise you in Jesus' name. Amen. All right,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: So we are starting chapter seventeen. I love it every
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: time we get to start a new chapter. It's a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: great accomplishment. We get to progress and go forward and
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the word of God together. And so let's read verse
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: one through four, and it says, the sin of Judah
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: is written with a pen of iron. Now that's the issue,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: but the point of a diamond. It is engraved on
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the tablet of their hearts, and on the horns of
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: your altars, while your children remember their altars in their
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: wooden images, by the green tree on the high heels,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my mountain in the field, I will give as
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: plunder your wealth, all your treasures, and your high places
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of sin, within all of your borders. And you even yourself,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: shall let go of your heritage which I gave you.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And I will cause you to serve your enemies in
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the land which you do not know for you have
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. Wow,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: that's hell, right there, a fire of his anger that
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: will burn forever. And it says that you will kindle it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: You have kindle it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Well, let's break it down now, Jeremiah here opens this
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: chapter with some powerful imagery right here, right, God says
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Judas sin is engraved with a pen of iron and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: written with the point of a diamond. Those are some
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: of the hardest substance on the earth. Now, think about that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: This isn't something temporary that he is saying. Their rebellion
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: has become deeply embedded in their lives. Their sin wasn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: just something they occasionally did. It wasn't something that they
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: just struggled with from time to time. It became a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: part of their lifestyle. Their hearts have become attached to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: their idols. Idol worship, right, we talked about it. We
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: talked about how they would build statues and they would
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: worship ball bowl worship. And so these false guys were
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: embedded deep into their hearts. And God says that their
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: children were following the same pattern.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: It looks like you lost another one.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So we have to be careful. I've heard it said
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that the things that we do in moderation, our children
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: will do with excess excessively. Right now, sin had become
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: deeply rooted in the people. Their ideology wasn't just like
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: an outward practice that they did it. It became something
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: written in their hearts. And when something comes into your heart,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that's where we really need to be concerned. We need
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to fight the battle and win our hearts, keep our
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: hearts clean for the Lord, our God. And what they
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: worshiped shows you what they value. What do you value
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: in life? Well, then you got to ask yourself, what
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: do you worship? What do you give most of your
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: time to? What is the reason or what motivates you
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: to wake up in the morning. That's a good indicator
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: of what your heart may be worshiping. But let's bring
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: this home, right, what is written on your heart? Because
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: what controls your heart eventually will control your life. You
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: can say that you love God, you can wear a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: cross on your neck, you can listen to Christian music. Right,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: you can go to church, But what do your choices reveal?
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: What gets your time, what gets all of your attention?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: What do you give your money to? And what are
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: you loyal to? Are you loyal to the block? You
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: want to represent your city? You willing to lay down
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: your life for that, but you don't want to lay
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: down your life of Christ. These are some strong questions
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: we need to ask ourselves, because what you worship will
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: eventually show up in your life. You will live it out.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: You will live it out. And this is why the
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Lord was upset with Judah. God is the only one
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: who's worthy to have that place in our hearts. Man,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: all right? Five and six, Thus says the Lord. Curse
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: is a man who trusts in man and makes flesh
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. For he
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: shall be like a shrub in the desert. He shall
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the partch
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: not inhabited. Wow, all right, this is a very strong description.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Now the danger of trusting in men. Now we get
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: one of the major themes of this passage. Right here,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: God says, cursed be the man that trusts in man
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: and make it flesh his arm, and whose heart departs
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: from the Lord. Right. God isn't saying we should never
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: trust another person he's warning against making human beings our
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: ultimate source of security. Amen, we should never make another
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: human being an ultimate source of security. Husband or wife,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: especially a wife who does not work. She may be
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: a stay at home mom and she looks to her
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: husband to provide everything. Your husband is ultimately not your provider.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: You can't ultimately put your trust in him. You need
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: to learn or develop a prayer life and know that
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: God is the provider, that God will take care of
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: you and the rest of the family.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just saying there's a healthy balance. There's
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: nothing wrong with a husband taking care of his wife
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: and children. But I'm just saying, don't make that an idol.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: He is not your ultimate source. He's a source, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: not the ultimate source.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Even on our jobs we go to work, we think
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: our boss, we think our job is the ultimate source.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: They are a source, but not the ultimate source. God
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: is the one who gave us those jobs. God is
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the one who opened those doors. Hey man, Now there's
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: a difference between appreciating people and depending on people more
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: than we depend on God. Like I said, your spouse
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: cannot be your God. Your pastor cannot be your God.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Your employer cannot be your God. That government cannot be
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: your God. Money cannot be your God. Amen, And even
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: your own abilities cannot be your God. Now, there's a
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: contrast between trusting in human resources and trusting in God.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Human strength is limited and it is temporary. When our
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: confidence rests entirely on people, our circumstances, we're vulnerable when
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: things start to fall apart. Now, I've been on this
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: earth long enough to know that people will disappoint, sometimes
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: intentionally or unintentionally, but God never stops being God. People
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: will change, jobs will change, economies will change. I believe
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: we are experiencing that in the United States right now.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Relationships will change, your health, your circumstances, your opportunities, everything
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: around you can change. But God doesn't change. That's why
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: your foundation can't be what is constantly moving. We need
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: to place our feet up on the rock. Amen. All right,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: let's do verse seven through eight. Bless it is a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: man who trusted the Lord, and whose hope is in
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the Lord, For he shall be like a tree planted
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: by the waters. Does that sound familiar. There's a song.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Hey man, if you've been in church for a while,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: you've heard this song or tree playing it by the water,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: and also in the book of Psalms. This is a
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: great picture.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: A treat planet by the water, which spreads out its
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: roots by the river, and will not fear when he comes.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: But its leaves will be green and will not be
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: yielding fruit. Amen. Now, remember God always wants us to
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: bear fruit. He's always looking at our lives, and he's
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: always looking for fruit. Amen. Now here's a contrast from
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: trusting in people. Blessed are those who trust in God. Now,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: so Jeremiah is going to give the other side of
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the picture. Blessed is a man that trust in the Lord,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: in whose hope is the Lord's This he gives us
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a beautiful picture right here. A person who trusts God
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: is like a tree planted by the waters. How refreshing
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: that is. Amen, trust me. I live in Las Vegas.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: I live in a desert.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: We love water.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Every time I go to California, man, I'm trying to
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: jump in the beach, or every time we travel, I'm
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: looking for water, right because we really don't have We
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: don't have an ocean out here where we can go surf,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: So this is refreshing right here, a tree planted by
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: the water. When the heat comes, the tree doesn't panic
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: when drought comes. It does not die. And why is that?
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Because it's roots have access to a source deeper than
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the circumstance around it. Let me say that again. This
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: tree has roots that go down so far it access
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: to a source deeper than the circumstance around it. Now
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: that's powerful. Now, notice something. God doesn't promise that the
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: heat won't come, right It says that the tree doesn't
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: fear the heat, so the heat came. He didn't even
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: promise that there wouldn't be a drought. He promised that
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: the person who trust him can remain fruitful during their drought.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question. Have you examined your
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: fruit lately? Are you remaining fruitful? I'm asking myself this question.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Am I remaining fruitful in the midst of this circumstance,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: in the midst.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Of this drought?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Now that is a completely different kind of blessing right here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Being blessed doesn't mean everything goes your way. Being blessed
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: means you have a that circumstances cannot destroy.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Say that again, blessing means you have a source that
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: your circumstances cannot destroy. We got a secrets stash, belove it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: The world don't understand it. To the world, they're confused,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: but they don't know why. We don't trip out, We
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: don't fear, We don't get all worried. Right, even if
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: you lose your job, God still is God. And if
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: you have God, you have all that you need. You
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: can go through a difficult season and still have God.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: You can be in, You can be criticized by people
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: close to you and still have God. You can be
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: rejected and still have God. Your roots can still grow deep,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: you can still connect to the source. Think about this.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: A tree doesn't survive a drought because it complains about
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: the drought.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: You don't see a tree complaining and get upset because
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: there's a drought and they're lacking water. It survives because
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: it's roots are connected to water, deep down in the ground.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: And that's the question for us right here. What are
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: your roots connected to? Hey man, are you connected to
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: something deeper than your situation, deeper than your circumstance? Verse nine.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: who can know it? Now, this scripture is a scripture
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: that I mean, I quoted a lot, and now we
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: know where it comes from a man. Now we know
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: it's Jeremiah, chapter seventeen, verse nine. The heart is deceitful
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: This is the reason why we have the accountability partner
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: segment right here. You read it for yourself, and I
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: pray that you don't just skip over this really quick. Now, come,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: let's come to this most quoted scripture right here and
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: break it down. The heart is deceitful above all things,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: and desperately wicked. Who can know it? This is a
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: warning we desperately need to look at today. We desperately
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: need to pay close attention to this. The world will
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: tell us to follow your heart, bad advice. God's word
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: tells us to be careful. Your heart can trip you up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Your feelings are real, but your feelings aren't always reliable.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: You can feel justified and still be wrong. You can
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: feel like something is right and still be walking outside
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: of God's will. And you can even convince yourself that
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: something is okay simply because you want it to be okay.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: That is dangerous. Apart from God. The human heart is
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: desperately wicked. It is not a reliable guide when we
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: are apart from God, it's not a reliable guide for righteousness.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: What we need, Beloved, is to e graph God's word.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: We need God's word. We need God's spirit to examine
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: our hearts because we are capable of deceiving even ourselves.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: That's why we don't build our faith on feelings, because
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: feelings change, but God's word doesn't change. God's word will
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: never change. So when you're feelings and God's word disagree,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: don't rewrite the Bible to protect your feelings. No, let
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: God's word correct your feelings. That's maturity when we're able
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: to lay down what we want and what we desire
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: and allow our hearts to submit to the guidance of
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: the word of God. Amen. That's where God is trying
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: to bring us, and Beloved, God is still working on me. Versace.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I the Lord search the heart, I test the mind,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: even to give every man according to his ways, according
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: to the fruit of his doings. And man, now, that's
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: something we need to memorize that we need to understand this.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: The Bible will always tell us the heart is the issue.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Who can know it? But this verse answers the question.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Our heart Let me back up. Our heart is desperately wicked.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Who can know it? This scripture answers that question, says
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: that he knows it. He can search it, he can
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: test it. I the Lord search the heart and test
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: the reins. Now that is pretty thorough. God knows what's
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: underneath the source. He knows the motive behind the action.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: He knows what nobody else can see.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: See.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: We can fool people, but we cannot fool God. God
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: sees right through us. But actually that's good news, beloved,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: because the same God who sees our failures also sees
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: our pain, our struggles, our intentions, and our desire to change.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: We do not have to hide from our heavenly Father.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: We can come to him and be honest. Amen. Vers
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: last verse eleven.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: As a.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Partridge that broods but does not hatch, so is he
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: who gets riches, but not by right. It will leave
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: him in the midst of his days and it and
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: at his end he will be a fool. Now, this
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: is a principle that we need to understand. Trying to
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: get rich the wrong way right see Jeremiah gives us
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: an illustration of someone who gains wealth dishonestly, and that's
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: the whole issue. Right there, a person is compared to
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: a bird sitting on eggs that they didn't lay. Eventually
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: those riches will disappear. Now, this is a warning against
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: believing that getting something means God approve the way that
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: you got it. So you can gain money and lose
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: your integrity. You can gain influence and lose your soul.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: We see this happening every day. Almost You can gain
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: followers and lose your relationship with God, who wants that
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: has not worth it at all. Success isn't automatically evidence
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: of God's approval. Sometimes the question isn't did I get rich?
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: The question is how did I get rich? And what
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: did it cost me? That's good. I think that's some
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: people need to hear that. Amen. Verse twelve, A glorious
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: high throne. From the beginning is the place of our sanctuary,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Oh Lord, the Hope of Israel. All who forsake you
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: shall be ashamed. Those who depart from me shall be
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: written in the earth because they have forsaken the Lord.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: The fountain of living water. I love how the Lord
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: will always refer to himself as the fountain of living water.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: He's repeated that through the Book of Jeremiah. Amen, Now
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: the Lord is our hope. This passage closes by pointing
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: us back to God. Right, Jeremiah declares that God's glorious
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: throne is the place of our sanctuary. Then he says, Oh, Lord,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: the hope of Israel. And that's where this whole passage
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: comes together, right here, right. Don't put your ultimate hope
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: in people. Don't put your hope in money, don't put
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: your hope in success. Don't put your hope even in
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: your own heart. Put your hope in the Lord, because
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: everything else can fail. And guess what God cannot fail. Amen,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: God will never fail. Now let me ask you this.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: If you had to sum up this entire passage in
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: one sentence, it would be what you trust determines how
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: you live. And you say that again, what you trust
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: determines how you live. If you trust yourself completely, you
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: will follow yourself. If you trust money, you will chase
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: after money. If you trust people's approval, you will compromise
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: to keep their approval. But if you trust God, you
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: will stand when the pressure comes. You remain fruitful even
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: when circumstances are not favorable, You'll have hope when everyone
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: else is losing theirs in That's what Jeremiah is teaching
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: us today. Get your roots in the right place. You
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: need to dig deeper then your circumstance. You need to
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: dig deeper than your situation. You need to dig a
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: little deep. Hey man, all right, let's take a break.

• 32:19

• 33:01
  Speaker 5: the homie gift he believe that he is a skeptic.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: He said, his only need for Jesus pieces of fresh fit.

  Speaker 5: A woman approaches and she feeds for her necks head,

• 33:18
  Speaker 5: But through this one exchange the regions affected, a champig
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: action happens, but they don't see it's connected. For instance,
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: the woman has a kitchener leave it neglected, and the
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: money defeated goes into the need of detective.

  Speaker 4: your questions, your prayer request. We invite that and we
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: appreciate y'all. So now it's time for the Accountability Partner segment.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: As I was talking about, this week's challenge is simple
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: but a little bit uncomfortable, right, Ask your accountability partner,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: what do you think I rely on too much instead
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: of God? And do not argue with the answer. Listen
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: and pray about it. Ask God to show you whether
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: there's truth and what they say.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: And that's what accountability is supposed to do. And that
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: just make you feel good. It should help us grow
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: and I will be transparent myself. God just showed me
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: that I've been struggling with money. I've been making money
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: and idle in my life because there's a situation that
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: I'm dealing with financially and I shared it on the
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: last podcast. And sometimes I will try to pay this
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: bill or try to work this out, or try to
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: get this loan. And there's been time I'm a tithe payer.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: But there's been times when I've missed. Is what I'm
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: trying to say. And at that point I'm making money.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: It's like who do I trust in? Am I trusting
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: in the money or do I trust in God? Like
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I had to repent, I had to come to the
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: altar and renew my commitment to trusting God even when
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: it gets tough. Even when it seems like I can't
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: pay this bill or that bill. I believe that the
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: ten percent belongs to God. It is not my money,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: and it hurts me every time I failed to do so. So,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: as my accountability partner people out there, I'm asking for
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: your prayers. Please pray for me so that I can
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: grow past this. I don't care if it's only two dollars.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give my ten percent. Amen, hallelujah. Say we
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: all need that accountability. But yeah, ask that question, and
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: no matter what the answer is, pray about it and
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: allow God to show you. Amen. All right. And also
• 38:12

• 39:24
  Speaker 4: knows his Bible. But do we have any other challengers

• 39:47
  Speaker 4: still thinks we need to come up so all right,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: so we're calling this the Bible Scholarly Challenge. Now the
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: question is the person who truy us in the Lord
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: is compared to a tree planted by waters. Right, But
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: here's a challenge. What specific tree? I mean, what pacific?
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Three things? Does the passage say this tree will not fear?
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: You have to remember the actual passage. There's three things
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: that this tree will not fear if it's planted by
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the waters. So I only might have to read this
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: scriptures again. One through thirteen. We went over today, but
• 40:41

• 40:45

  Speaker 4: house and order. So we want to thank God for that.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: All right, belove it. Well, let's go ahead and close
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: it out with some closing remarks. Jeremiah seventeen month through
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: thirteen gives us a choice. We can trust ourselves or
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: we can trust God. We have the option to either
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: follow our hearts or follow God's word and allow the
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: word of God to lead our hearts. We can chase
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: temporary success or pursue eternal fruit, whether you think is
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: better something temporary or something eternal. We can build our
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: lives around things that can disappear, or we can plant
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: ourselves besides the living water. The tree in Jeremiah doesn't
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: avoid the heat, doesn't avoid the drought. It survised because
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: its roots are deep connected to the right source. If
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: that's the word for somebody, right, somebody listening today needs
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: to hear that your circumstances does not determine whether you
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: can be fruitful. Your route to do so get your
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: roots deeper into God's Word, deeper in prayer, deeper in fellowship,
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: and deeper in your relationship with Christ. And when the
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: heat comes, and it will come, you will not have
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: to panic. You'll know where your strength comes from. Amen.
• 46:55
