We can dare to ______________________ because our God is _____________________.

Jeremiah 17:5-8 – Stunted shrub in the desert vs. tree planted along the riverbank

Trust – Hebrew batach

It means ____________________________ ____________________________.

instead of God . . . we will be _________________________________.

we’ll get __________________________________________________.

When we get hopeless and down and negative,

we become ________________________________________________.

When we’re planted by the riverbank, God is our hope and our confidence.

God says if we’ll plant ourselves next to Him,

He’s going to make us __________________________________.

__________________________________ is the woman or man who makes the Lord

their hope and their confidence.

God says that we can be _______________________________ when He is the water

flowing up through us.

“Fruit trees of all kinds will grow along both sides of the river. The leaves of these trees will

never turn brown and fall, and there will always be fruit on their branches. There will be a new crop

every month, for they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple. The fruit will be for food

and the leaves for _____________________________________.” Ezekiel 47:12 NLT

Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones,

Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God

The heavens are shocked at such a thing

says the LORD.

Jeremiah is called the most _________________-_________________ of the prophets.

• Both wept over the city of Jerusalem.

• Both were taken to Egypt against their will.

• Both were rejected in their own hometowns.

• Both had an authenticity when speaking to God.

• The big difference: Jeremiah was a sinner; Jesus was sinless.

Jeremiah referred to the Messiah as “The Lord Is Our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:5-6; Jeremiah 33:15-16).

What are we saved from?

1. Justification – Saved from the _________________ of our sin.

2. Sanctification – Saved from the _________________ of sin in our lives.

God is more concerned about our _________________ than our _________________.

To all who mourn in Israel,

he will give a crown of _________________ for ashes,

a joyous _________________ instead of mourning,

festive _________________ instead of despair.

In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks

that the LORD has planted for his own glory.

Isaiah 61:3 NLT

3. Glorification – Saved from the very ___________________________ of sin.

The thought of my _________________ and homelessness

is bitter beyond words.

I will never forget this awful time,

Yet I still dare to _________________

when I remember this:

The faithful love of the LORD never ends!

His mercies never cease.

Great is his ___________________________;

his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Lamentations 3:18-23 NLT

“ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and

not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
