Title: A Life That Sees
Scripture: Jeremiah 1:11-19
Speaker: Bill Gorman, BillG@ChristCommunityKC.org


>> Do you see a God who keeps his promises?
>> Do you see a God who will right all wrongs?

“The war would interrupt their inane and distracted, their soiled and silly lives and force them to attend to what is essential and eternal: life and death, God and humanity, faith and faithlessness, covenant and obedience. —Eugene Peterson, Run with the Horses

And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.
—J. R. R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

Title: A Life That Sees

TAKEAWAY: If you were to condense this sermon down to one or two takeaway sentences, what would it be?

LOOKING INWARD: Just like the “almond branch,” what are the things you look to that remind you of God’s presence and faithfulness?
LOOKING OUTWARD: We learn from the boiling pot that God will one day right our wrongs. That God will pour out his justice in our world. The fact is, there are many events in this world that cause us to be afraid. How does fear change the way in which we see the World? How might fear cause you to look outside God for solutions to fix our broken world?
LOOKING AT HABITS: How might we become a community who sees and understands who God is and the things he has for us?
PRAYER: Pray for one another that we would have ears to hear and eyes to see the way God is working in and around us.
