God's Purpose- God's Plan - Jeremiah 29:4-14

Sermons
Written By Cris Escher
Digital Bulletin Oct 20th

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON DURING THE WEEK -

  1. Describe something that didn’t go as planned in your life.

  2. Read Jeremiah 29:4-9.  This was written to God’s people when they were living in exile, separated from their homeland.  They longed to go back. Several false prophets had said they would go back soon. The temptation would have been to look towards the future to find their plan.  In contrast, what does Jeremiah tell them to do? What surprises you about this?

  3. Rather than looking towards what’s next for you, what is God’s purpose for you where you are in life right now?

  4. Read Jeremiah 29:10-14.  God speaks that the future is planned out for your good.  We see this in Jesus as He has been raised to life for you.  How does trusting that God has the future worked out allow you to let His blessings flow through you where you are now?

  5. How has this text helped you understand God’s plan for your life?

What Had happened at Grace this week.

[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer
[Sunday] Matthew 2 - Richer

Virtually every life transforming event recorded in Scripture includes a journey, a process the people involved go through that leads to insight, transformation and new life for all willing to engage that journey. The journey always includes elements of sacrifice, worship, trust and faith.  Christmas is about Jesus making the journey from heaven to earth, for the Magi it was the journey from wisdom to humility.  For us, it is a journey to wonder and new life.

[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer
[Sunday] Psalm 2 - Richer

Psalm 1 provides a blueprint for spiritual life, and helps us see how Jesus grew into His Messianic role.  Psalm 2 broadens from individual growth to God's MESSIANIC PLAN for the world and takes in the entire sweep of history.  This Sunday we are in an Advent state of mind.  Next Sunday we celebrate Christmas in July through the eyes of the Magi.
