0:50
Speaker 3: Mister has happened Today? We're gonna continue Jeremiah's Temple sermon.
0:56
Speaker 3: The people believe the temple guarded God's protection, that they
1:02
Speaker 3: were guaranteed protection from God regardless of how they live. Wow,
1:08
Speaker 3: now does that sound familiar. God is about to expose
1:13
Speaker 3: a false confidence and remind Judah that a holy God
1:19
Speaker 3: cannot maintain or even be manipulated by religious activity. So
1:27
Speaker 3: today's message is called a den of thieves. So let's

2:14
Speaker 3: to start in verse eleven, chapter seven, and we're coming
2:23
Speaker 3: at you from the new king, James the first. Let's
2:28
Speaker 3: go before our father in prayer. Emily, Father, we thank
2:33
Speaker 3: you for another day. We ask you, Father God for
2:35
Speaker 3: the rainmo word. Father, Father God, help us Lord just
2:39
Speaker 3: to sit at your feet. Father, Help us Lord to
2:42
Speaker 3: live a life of obedience. Help us, O God, give
2:45
Speaker 3: us guidance and give us direction on God each and
2:51
Speaker 3: every day. Father God, we want to hear from you.
2:53
Speaker 3: Fill us with your spirits. Help us, o, God, not
2:57
Speaker 3: to just trust in going to church or religious activities,
3:02
Speaker 3: but help us Lord to truly lived a life submitted
3:06
Speaker 3: unto you. And we asked this in Jesus's mighty name. Amen,
3:16
Speaker 3: all right? Verse eleven, has this house which is called
3:22
Speaker 3: by my name become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold,
3:29
Speaker 3: I even I have seen it, says the Lord Man.
3:34
Speaker 3: Now this is straight rebuke, straight correction, but it's done
3:39
Speaker 3: out of love. If only they would have listened, it
3:43
Speaker 3: would have spared them judgment. Let's break it down now.
3:48
Speaker 3: God confronts the people directly. They had turned the temple
3:59
Speaker 3: into a hiding place. Instead of repenting, they committed sin,
4:09
Speaker 3: and they ran to the temple believing they were safe.
4:17
Speaker 3: Now the temple had become a refuge for hypocrisy rather
4:23
Speaker 3: than a place of true worship. Wow wy wow wow.
4:29
Speaker 3: We can see that in the church today. God sees
4:33
Speaker 3: beyond outward appearance. Now, family, this verse becomes so important
4:38
Speaker 3: that Jesus quoted it centuries later when he cleansed the temple.
4:47
Speaker 3: God never intended his house to be a place where
4:50
Speaker 3: people hid their sin. Intended to be a place where
4:57
Speaker 3: people surrendered their sin. There's a huge contrast to that.
5:02
Speaker 3: Remember when Jesus turned over the tables and he made
5:08
Speaker 3: a quart of whips, and he whipped the people and
5:11
Speaker 3: drove him out, and he said, do not make my
5:14
Speaker 3: father's house a den of thieves. Yeah, he meant that
5:21
Speaker 3: a man like you lost another one. Now twelve through fourteen.
5:31
Speaker 3: But go now to my place which is in Siel,
5:39
Speaker 3: I mean Shiloh, where I set my name at the
5:43
Speaker 3: first and see what I did to it because of
5:48
Speaker 3: the wickedness of my people Israel. And now because you
5:52
Speaker 3: have done all these works, says the Lord, and I
5:57
Speaker 3: spoke to you, rising up early in speaking, but you
6:02
Speaker 3: did not hear. And I called you, but you did
6:06
Speaker 3: not answer. Therefore, I will do the doe to the
6:10
Speaker 3: house which is called by my name, in which you trust,
6:16
Speaker 3: and to those this place which I gave to you
6:20
Speaker 3: and your father's, as I have done to Shiloh. Now
6:28
Speaker 3: God points them to Shiloh. Now Shiloh had once been
6:34
Speaker 3: Israel's major worship sinner where the Tabernacle stood, Yet God
6:42
Speaker 3: allowed it to be destroyed because of the persistent sin.
6:49
Speaker 3: Now remember that was the Northern Kingdom, and he points
6:54
Speaker 3: to them. God will always point to us an example,
6:58
Speaker 3: an object lesson. That's exactly what the Bible is for us.
7:03
Speaker 3: We are to learn from the mistakes of others. Now,
7:16
Speaker 3: the presence of religious history does not guarantee future blessing.
7:23
Speaker 3: Just because there's been a work of God. Just because
7:27
Speaker 3: you may have family members in the ministry does not
7:31
Speaker 3: guarantee that you will be blessed or that you even
7:35
Speaker 3: make it into the Kingdom. Every generation must choose obedience.
7:43
Speaker 3: God does not have grandchildren. Many people will rely on
7:49
Speaker 3: past experiences. My grandparents were believers, or I grew up
7:57
Speaker 3: in church, or I was baptized years ago, or God
8:04
Speaker 3: isn't asking about yesterday. God is asking us about today.
8:09
Speaker 3: What is happening in your life today? How is your
8:16
Speaker 3: walk in relationship with God today? That is what God
8:22
Speaker 3: wants to know Verse fifteen. And I will cast you
8:27
Speaker 3: out of my sight, as I have cast out all
8:30
Speaker 3: your brethren, the whole prosterity of Ephraim. Now God reminds
8:40
Speaker 3: Judah of what happened to the northern Kingdom of Israel.
8:45
Speaker 3: Israel had already been taken into captivity because of rebellion.
8:51
Speaker 3: Judah ignored that warning. History becomes a teacher when people
9:00
Speaker 3: people are willing to learn from it. We can be
9:05
Speaker 3: taught by history, like I said, and by the example
9:08
Speaker 3: of others. Unfortunately, Judah refused to be taught. Family. One
9:18
Speaker 3: of the greatest mistakes we can make is ignoring lessons
9:22
Speaker 3: from the past. Right, like I said, That's why we
9:27
Speaker 3: got to get in the word. We cannot ignore the
9:31
Speaker 3: Old Testament or even the New Testament. Got it already
9:37
Speaker 3: shown Judah what rebellion produces. Right, Rebellion will always produce
9:43
Speaker 3: destruction and devastation. Yet they continue down the same path,
9:52
Speaker 3: They continue to do the same thing Verse sixteen. Therefore,
10:00
Speaker 3: do not pray for this people who would lift up
10:05
Speaker 3: a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to me,
10:10
Speaker 3: for I will now hear now you know it's bad.
10:14
Speaker 3: These are like some of the scariest words that you
10:17
Speaker 3: could read in the Bible, and God says, don't even
10:21
Speaker 3: pray for a particular individual. In this case and entire nation.
10:29
Speaker 2: It looks like you lost another one.
10:32
Speaker 3: The people had repeatedly rejected God's mercy and ignored his warning.
10:37
Speaker 3: Judgment had become unavoidable at this point. This is sobering.
10:49
Speaker 3: This was not because God lacked compassion. Rather, the people
10:53
Speaker 3: had continually hardened themselves against every opportunity to repent. Family.
11:00
Speaker 3: God's patience is incredible, but Scripture repeatedly teach us not
11:09
Speaker 3: to presume upon his patience. Every warning from God is
11:14
Speaker 3: an opportunity to respond to him a man. Let us
11:20
Speaker 3: have personal hearts and personal ears to hear what the
11:26
Speaker 3: voice is saying. Amen, do you not see what they
11:34
Speaker 3: do in the cities of Judah and in the streets
11:38
Speaker 3: of Jerusalem the children gather, would the fathers kindle the fire,
11:43
Speaker 3: and the women knel doe me the dough to make
11:48
Speaker 3: cakes for the Queen of heaven, and they pour out
11:52
Speaker 3: drink offerings to offer gods that they may provoke me
11:59
Speaker 3: to aim. Why dollarsty had become a family activity. Entire
12:06
Speaker 3: households participated in worshiping false gods. The queen of heaven
12:13
Speaker 3: it was a pagan fertility godlet goddess worshiped through the region.
12:25
Speaker 3: So you know what they did. Fertility. That means it
12:28
Speaker 3: was pornographic in nature. Idolatry is it merely bowing before statues.
12:38
Speaker 3: Anything that takes God's rifle place in our lives becomes
12:43
Speaker 3: an idol. Anything. It could be your family, It could
12:47
Speaker 3: be modern idols may look different, but it could be
12:54
Speaker 3: your family. It could be money, success, it could be popularity, entertainment, relationships.
13:02
Speaker 3: Anything we place above God becomes dangerous Verse nineteen and twenty.
13:14
Speaker 3: Do they provoke me to anger, says the Lord? Do
13:20
Speaker 3: they not provoke themselves to the shame of their own faces? Therefore,
13:27
Speaker 3: thus says the Lord, God beholds my anger, and my
13:32
Speaker 3: fury will be poured out on this place, on men,
13:37
Speaker 3: and on beasts, and on trees and fields, and on
13:42
Speaker 3: the fruit of the ground, and it will burn and
13:47
Speaker 3: not be quenched. Wow, that's serious. God reveals a profound
13:55
Speaker 3: truth right here. Their rebellion wasn't hurting God, it was
13:59
Speaker 3: hurting themselves. Else sin always damages the sinner that break
14:07
Speaker 3: God's heart, but ultimately the sinner will suffer. God's commands
14:16
Speaker 3: are given for our benefit. Never forget that God's commands
14:22
Speaker 3: are there to protect us when people reject God's ways
14:28
Speaker 3: and experience the destructive consequences of sin. Hey man, now, family,
14:35
Speaker 3: every command God gives comes from a heart of love.
14:41
Speaker 3: God isn't trying to limit our joy. He's protecting us
14:46
Speaker 3: from destruction. Now. The enemy says obedience takes freedom away.
14:53
Speaker 3: God says obedience leads to life. The question is will
15:04
Speaker 3: we obey? All right, let's take a break.
15:08

18:12
Speaker 3: that as our brother e gr with Big Brother right
18:17

18:30
Speaker 3: We need to support those who are being faithful to
18:33
Speaker 3: the call amen, faithful to the word. I'm your brother
18:37
Speaker 3: missing his hot This is his Hot radio podcast. A
18:41
Speaker 3: quick shout out to the Light Chat. And yesterday I
18:45
Speaker 3: was not able to make it into the light Chat
18:47
Speaker 3: because my wife, she was on her way to pick
18:51
Speaker 3: up our daughter from the airport. Shout out to our money.
18:55
Speaker 3: She is doing some great beings at her age. She
18:59
Speaker 3: was in a national program where she was able to
19:03
Speaker 3: take a trip all the way to Florida and received
19:08
Speaker 3: some awards and some training out there. And so as
19:12
Speaker 3: she was coming back to Vegas, my wife picked her
19:15
Speaker 3: up and then she got two flat tires, which is crazy.
19:18
Speaker 3: I don't know if she ran over something or what,
19:21
Speaker 3: and so I had to get off work early and
19:24
Speaker 3: everything and go and make sure they were good. It's
19:28
Speaker 3: blazing hot out here in Las Vegas, so I didn't
19:30
Speaker 3: want them to stand out in the heat. For some reason,
19:33
Speaker 3: the tow truck companies have a policy to where they
19:38
Speaker 3: can only allow one person to ride, you know, once
19:41
Speaker 3: they pick up your vehicle. So it was three of
19:44
Speaker 3: them total because she had my daughter and also the
19:47
Speaker 3: youngest son with her, so I didn't want them to
19:51
Speaker 3: be out left in the heat. So I had to
19:55
Speaker 3: go grab them, and so I was not able to
19:58
Speaker 3: make it into the life chat. Shout out to our
20:00
Speaker 3: brother Zone three for checking on me. He hit me
20:03
Speaker 3: up yesterday. Appreciate you brother, Appreciate your prayers. But yes, yes,
20:09
Speaker 3: meet us in a life chat every day Monday through
20:12
Speaker 3: Saturday at eleven am Pacific Standard time to get some encouragement,
20:17
Speaker 3: to pray with each other, just to stay connected. Sometimes
20:20
Speaker 3: we just need to be encouraged. Amen. That was time
20:27
Speaker 3: for the accountability Partner segment, talking about the live chat.
20:30
Speaker 3: We love to hold each other accountable because the Bible
20:34
Speaker 3: says the narrow path is a path that leads to life,
20:38
Speaker 3: and difficult it can be, and only a few will
20:40
Speaker 3: find it. And so for those who are on that
20:44
Speaker 3: narrow path, we want to encourage you in strengthening you
20:47
Speaker 3: on that path as we seek to make it into
20:53
Speaker 3: the kingdom together. Amen, we need to avoid all the pitfalls.
21:01
Speaker 3: And so the Accountability Partner segment this is where we
21:06
Speaker 3: give you daily challenges, daily questions you can call and
21:11
Speaker 3: talk about and ask your accountability partner. And also on
21:14
Speaker 3: the app, go to the top level menu, hit that
21:18
Speaker 3: drop down, click on podcasts and click on the his
21:21
Speaker 3: Hot radio podcast yours Truly. Just scroll down until you
21:25
Speaker 3: see the accountability partner link. Right there is where you
21:31
Speaker 3: can go over the questions. They're mainly for self check.
21:36
Speaker 3: It's always good to check on where you're at and
21:40
Speaker 3: you might be a little off and God's word is
21:43
Speaker 3: there to keep us on the right path. Amen. And
21:49
Speaker 3: you can request to follow up because there's power and
21:52
Speaker 3: agreement when we agree in prayer to sell hell. On
21:57
Speaker 3: over to the life Chats if you want to follow along,
22:00
Speaker 3: and it says, are there any modern idols competing for
22:07
Speaker 3: first place in your relationship with God, any modern idols.
22:12
Speaker 3: We've spoke about it before on this podcast. It could
22:15
Speaker 3: be family, friends, it could be money, anything. It could
22:19
Speaker 3: even be ministry, anything that you're a place more important
22:24
Speaker 3: than your relationship with God. And sometimes my schedule gets busy,
22:30
Speaker 3: and if like on Wednesday Night Bible study, First of all,
22:39
Speaker 3: I go to church kind of far from where I
22:42
Speaker 3: live because I love the presence and the word that
22:45
Speaker 3: is preached, and so it takes me a little while
22:49
Speaker 3: to make it home after Wednesday Night Bible studies, and
22:54
Speaker 3: so on Wednesday nights are tough for me. Sometimes I
22:58
Speaker 3: don't get to bed until after a and so if
23:03
Speaker 3: I wake up late, I have a choice. I'm like, Okay,
23:07
Speaker 3: do I record the podcast and everything or do I
23:12
Speaker 3: just spend time in prayer with God. And I haven't
23:16
Speaker 3: been perfect always. Sometimes I try to record and then
23:19
Speaker 3: I try to make up prayer throughout the day, which
23:22
Speaker 3: you know that never really happens. And so lately I've
23:25
Speaker 3: been saying, you know what, I got to spend time
23:28
Speaker 3: in prayer with God because I don't want this platform
23:31
Speaker 3: to become an idol. I don't want to place it
23:35
Speaker 3: above God. And so sometimes you'll see me in the
23:37
Speaker 3: Life Chat and say, Hey, we're gonna play a replay
23:41
Speaker 3: today because I had to spend more time in prayer.
23:44
Speaker 3: I'm saying, look, I don't want to miss my time
23:46
Speaker 3: with God, and so I'll have to put the podcast
23:51
Speaker 3: on the back burner. And so for you, it might
23:55
Speaker 3: be something else. It could be watching the news instead
23:59
Speaker 3: of prayer, could be watching Netflix instead of worshiping. It
24:02
Speaker 3: could be spending time with your wife and children and
24:07
Speaker 3: not spending time in the Word or prayer. Whatever you
24:11
Speaker 3: place a love God could be potentially become an idol.
24:16
Speaker 3: So pray together and ask God to reveal anything that
24:21
Speaker 3: has taken his rightful place, anything that's holy spirit, What
24:27
Speaker 3: has taken your rightful place in my life? Amen. Also,
24:36
Speaker 3: we're gonna let you know that His Hot Radio is
24:38

Speaker 3: my time. Thank you for kicking it with us here
28:43
Speaker 3: on his Hot Radio podcast. That was time for some
28:49
Speaker 3: final comments, some application, and we're gonna close it out
28:54
Speaker 3: in prayer. As we look back at Jeremiah seven, verses
29:00
Speaker 3: eleven through twenty, we can observe and see that God
29:05
Speaker 3: sees through religious hypocrisies. He sees it all right. There's
29:10
Speaker 3: no point, there's no future in your front right. Religious
29:15
Speaker 3: buildings cannot replace obedience. So just because there's a nice
29:20
Speaker 3: religious place to worship does not guarantee that we're right
29:26
Speaker 3: with God. Every generation must choose faithfulness. We might have
29:34
Speaker 3: had a move of God in our parents' generation, but
29:38
Speaker 3: we got to choose faithfulness in our generation as well
29:42
Speaker 3: for the removing to for the movement of God to continue.
29:50
Speaker 3: Ignoring history often leads to repeating it. We can repeat
29:56
Speaker 3: the same mistakes if we do not learn from history.
30:03
Speaker 3: And Judah had the example of the Northern Kingdom, but
30:10
Speaker 3: Judah failed to take heed to that. Idolatry damages families
30:18
Speaker 3: and communities. Sin will always hurt you in an end.
30:24
Speaker 3: The very sin that you are rebelling against God for
30:28
Speaker 3: will turn and punish you, and sin ultimately harms the
30:36
Speaker 3: sinner and man. That's what I'm saying is that ultimately
30:45
Speaker 3: is not gonna hurt God. It breaks his heart, but
30:49
Speaker 3: it's not gonna damage his kingdom. It's not gonna damage Heaven,
30:53
Speaker 3: is not gonna take away anything from him except for
30:59
Speaker 3: a broken heart. But as far as the damaged people
31:02
Speaker 3: are in eternity being punished forever because of this sin
31:07
Speaker 3: that they've allowed to dominate their lives. Are we using
31:14
Speaker 3: religion to hide from God or are we allowing God
31:17
Speaker 3: to transform our hearts? That is the question of today. Amen.
31:27
Speaker 3: Now let's pray, Heavenly Father, help us pursue genuine relationship
31:34
Speaker 3: with You rather than empty religion. Lord, reveal any idol
31:41
Speaker 3: in our lives. Lord, teach us to walk in obedience
31:44
Speaker 3: and in truth. Help us learn from the mistakes of
31:49
Speaker 3: those who came before us. May our worship be sincere
31:54
Speaker 3: and pleasing in your sight. And we ask this and
31:59
Speaker 3: ge' this mighty name. Amen, and please remember it's not
32:06
Speaker 3: about us, It's about the Christ in us. God. Bless y'all.
