    Jeremiah 30:1-24 "Consider it in the Latter Days"

    In this message, Andy Falleur takes us through Jeremiah 30 and shows how God's promise, that Israel and Judah will be brought back from captivity and "in the latter days you will consider it," fits together with Daniel 12, Luke 21, and the New Testament writers who all believed they were in the last days. He lays out the sequence: the rapture, a 7 year tribulation split in half (3 1/2 years, time, times, half a time), the abomination of desolation, the return of Christ, a thousand-year reign from Jerusalem, and finally a new heaven and new earth. He points to Jerusalem's scattering in AD 70 and its recapture in 1967 as evidence that the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled and nothing is left on the prophetic calendar before Jesus could return. He ends by pressing the question of how we're living in the meantime. God's long-suffering is an invitation to turn, and today is the day to surrender to Jesus Christ.

    Jeremiah 17 "The Heart, The Root, and The Fruit" (ft. Guest Speaker Arlen Busenitz)

    Arlen Busenitz opens Jeremiah 17 by building a Biblical framework for the heart, the control center of a person where thoughts run, desires form, decisions are made, and trust is placed. What rules the heart rules the life. Jeremiah 17 draws the sharpest contrast: The person whose heart trusts in man becomes like a shrub in the desert, parched and unable to see the good even when it comes. The person whose hope is in the Lord becomes like a tree by the river — roots deep, unafraid of heat, never ceasing to bear fruit. Verse 9 adds the uncomfortable truth: The heart is deceitful above all things. Who is your heart following? The message closes with the CARE framework for heart transformation: Come clean before God and others, Ask God for healing and help, Return to the Lord as ruler, and Entrust yourself and the results to God, obeying faithfully and leaving the outcome to Him. Exact Scripture References: Jeremiah 17:1-14 (main text — the sin of Judah, the shrub, the tree, and the deceitful heart) Psalm 1:1-3 (referenced — like a tree planted by streams of living water) Psalm 51 (referenced — prayer of confession and healing after sin) Proverbs 4:23 (referenced — guard your heart above all else) James 1:14-15 (referenced — desires colliding and leading to sin) James 5:16 (referenced — confess your sins to one another) Revelation 2:4-5 (referenced — return to your first love) John 15:5 (referenced — apart from me you can do nothing) Matthew 7:24-27 (referenced — wise and foolish builders) Topics and Keywords: What is the heart from a biblical worldview — thoughts, desires, decisions, trust, worship What shapes the heart — Scripture, environment, conscience, Holy Spirit, flesh, unhealed past The sin of Judah — idolatry etched on the heart Idolatry leaving a mark on children and the next generation Cursed is the man who trusts in man — the desert shrub Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord — the tree by the water Biblical hope versus wishful thinking The heart is deceitful above all things — why following your heart is dangerous Three branches of government as a reflection of the deceitful heart The CARE framework for heart transformation C — Come clean before God and others A — Ask God for healing, salvation, and help R — Return to the Lord as ruler E — Entrust yourself and the results to God Leaving the results to God while being faithful with what He's given

    Jeremiah 1:4-5 “Born for This”

    Pastor Andy begins in Jeremiah 1:4-5, where God tells Jeremiah that before he was conceived He knew him, before he was born He set him apart, and before he could speak He ordained him a prophet to the nations. Starting with Jeremiah's reframed definition of success — faithfulness to God, not visible results — Pastor Andy points out those in the Bible whose purpose was established before birth through Jacob and Esau, David, Isaiah, John the Baptist, and Paul. Then, he asks the question every person is quietly asking: Did God do that for me? We know that every child is a heritage from the Lord, placed in a specific time and place and family by design. He then addresses the hard question: What about birth defects, tragedies, and the things that seem impossible to redeem? Pastor Andy looks to Nick Vujicic and Joni Eareckson Tada as examples where God, the great Chess Master, turned these situations into something beautiful. The message closes with a gospel call: Your purpose and meaning can only be found in relationship with the One who designed you. Surrender. Give your life to Jesus Christ. Exact Scripture References Jeremiah 1:4-6 Jeremiah 25:11-12 Jeremiah 31:31 Genesis 25:23 Genesis 50:20 Psalm 127:3 Psalm 139:13 Isaiah 49:1-2, 5 Luke 1:13-17 Acts 17:26 Galatians 1:15 John 9:1-3 Romans 5:20 Topics and Keywords Jeremiah as the largest prophetic book and the weeping prophet Success redefined: faithfulness, not results Before I formed you in the womb – what it means that God knew Jeremiah before conception Objections as qualifications Purpose before birth (Jacob, Esau, David, Isaiah, John the Baptist, Paul) Every child as a heritage and gift from God Unchangeable facts — race, personality, genetic makeup, time in history The hard question: birth defects, tragedies, genetic disorders Nick Vujicic — born with no arms and no legs Joni Eareckson Tada — paralyzed at 17 God as the great chess Master who can redeem anything John 9 — born blind that the works of God might be displayed Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more Surrendering to Jesus and falling into the tracks of God's design Give your life to Jesus Christ

    Isaiah 58:1-14 “Hope for the Future…”

    Pastor Andy guides us through Isaiah 58, a call to repentance addressed to a people performing religious rituals while mistreating everyone around them. Three things were missing: They were fasting to win God's favor (transactional religion), they were mistreating people in their homes and in their society, and they were desecrating the Sabbath. Pastor Andy is direct about what mistreatment looks like today — yelling, anger, control, guilt trips, and indifference — and names real examples in the community: trafficking, exploitative payday loans, and immigrant workers being taken advantage of. The Sabbath, he explains, was a gift to be received and for Christians, Jesus is our Sabbath. He is the fulfillment of everything Isaiah 58 demands. The blessings God promises to a repentant people are staggering: Light, healing, answered prayer, continual guidance, and a soul satisfied even in drought. The challenge for each person is to find their specific gift or calling that they're rejecting and surrender it to the Lord. Exact Scripture References Isaiah 58:1-14 Psalm 1:1-3 1 Kings 18 Jeremiah 31:33 Topics and Keywords Isaiah 58 as a call to repentance for a society in decay Performative religion versus true worship The prophets of Baal as a picture of transactional religion Three things the people were getting wrong: false fasting, mistreating people, desecrating the Sabbath Mistreatment of people: yelling, anger, control, indifference, exploitation Societal mistreatment: Trafficking, payday loans, student loans, modern-day slavery The Sabbath is a gift to be received, not a duty to perform Jesus as our Sabbath, resting in His finished work The blessings of repentance — light, healing, answered prayer, continual guidance Your soul satisfied even in drought, drawing strength from outside your circumstances The repairer of the breach and the restorer of streets The specific gift or calling you're rejecting Feeding the hungry, getting involved, being the hands and feet of Jesus We don't have to be religious people, we get to be Jesus people

    Isaiah 51:1-8 “Listen to Me”

    Pastor Andy reads Isaiah 51:1-8, a three-stanza poem written for a people in exile surrounded by ruins, stripped of hope, in a strange place with no way back to normal. Three times the Lord opens each stanza the same way: Listen to Me. He points to Abraham and Sarah, two people dead in their reproductive ability, as proof that God specializes in making something out of nothing. Pastor Andy then draws four applications: God's faithfulness to Israel guarantees His faithfulness to us; if the consequences of your own bad decisions have come home to roost, this is for you; if you're suffering because of somebody else's sin, vengeance belongs to God, let Him do it; and for all of us, God is calling us back to the simplest thing, a relationship where we listen when He talks. The message closes in Isaiah 55 with one final invitation, "Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance." Exact Scripture References Isaiah 51:1-8 Isaiah 55:1-3 Jeremiah 31:33 1 Peter 2:9 Romans 9-11 Acts 9:4 Topics and Keywords Isaiah 51-57 as the Book of the Servant The three-stanza structure of Isaiah 51:1-8 — Listen, Look, For The moment when the vision is dead — Joseph, David, Esther, the disciples The rock and the quarry — Abraham and Sarah God making dead things alive Christians grafted into Abraham's promise by faith God's faithfulness to Israel as a guarantee of His faithfulness to us When the consequences of your own bad decisions have come home Suffering because of somebody else's sin Vengeance belongs to God — let Him do it The nature of the relationship God wants — where He talks and we listen Isaiah 55 — come to the waters, listen and your soul shall live Forgiveness as the only way out of bitterness and resentment Surrender and submit your life to Jesus Christ

    Isaiah 44:24-28 “Cyrus, My Shepherd…”

    Pastor Andy opens in Isaiah 42, where God draws a clear line between Himself and every other "god", idol, or carved image, saying: I am the Lord and there is no other. The proof is simple. He alone declares the end from the beginning. No idol can do that. No social media influencer, no AI, nothing we hold in our right hand can tell you what's going to happen in advance and then be right. God can. The crescendo arrives when He names Cyrus, a king of Persia, over two hundred years before he was born. History, archaeology, and the Dead Sea Scrolls all confirm it. Pastor Andy confronts the two-Isaiah theory and dismisses it. The message closes with a challenge and an invitation: You have an opportunity today to look at what's in your right hand and ask — is this not a lie? Then, look to the one true God. "Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other." Exact Scripture References Isaiah 42-48 Daniel 5 Ezra 1 Luke 1:13, 31 Topics and Keywords Isaiah 40-48 known as The Book of Cyrus God's repeated theme: He alone declares the future in advance Israel as God's witnesses to prophecy The distinction between the true God and carved images Modern idolatry — social media and AI The Cyrus prophecy, 220 years in advance Cyrus named before he was born Historical corroboration: Herodotus, Xenophon, Josephus, Cyrus Cylinder The Dead Sea Scrolls and the complete Isaiah scroll German higher criticism and the two-Isaiah theory Daniel 5 — the writing on the wall, Babylon falls overnight Truman recognizing Israel, "I am Cyrus" The Jewish people as witnesses throughout history A coming King like Cyrus, Jesus the anointed one "Look to me and be saved" — Isaiah 45:22

    Isaiah 38:17 "You Have Cast All My Sins Behind Your Back..."

    Pastor Andy focuses on the last line of Isaiah 38:17, "For you have cast all my sins behind your back," and digs into what sin is, what it does, and what God has done about it. Sin is defined two ways: The Greek archery term for missing the target entirely (Romans 3:23), and the force that crouches at the door wanting to control and destroy (Genesis 4:6-7). God's forbearance in the Old Testament — overlooking sin like a dirty diaper you're about to change — is not the same as forgiving it. Forgiveness, as seen in Colossians 2, means actually dealing with the problem. Only God can truly forgive because only He can restore what was lost. The message closes in Revelation 5 and the question for every person listening is simply: What do you want? Do you want to know Him? Exact Scripture References Isaiah 38:9-20 (main text — Hezekiah's writing after his healing) Isaiah 38:17 (focus verse — "you have cast all my sins behind your back") Isaiah 59:1-2 (referenced — your iniquities have separated you from God) Genesis 4:6-7 (referenced — first use of the word "sin" in the Bible — crouching at the door) Romans 3:23-25 (referenced — all have sinned, God passed over sins in forbearance) Acts 17:30 (referenced — times of ignorance God overlooked) Colossians 2:13-14 (referenced — wiped out the handwriting of requirements, nailed to the cross) Revelation 5:1-10 (referenced — the scroll sealed with seven seals, the Lamb who is worthy) Jeremiah 29:13 (referenced — seek the Lord and you will find Him) Romans 5:20-21 (referenced — grace reigns over your life) Topics and Keywords Hezekiah's song after healing, the full range of human emotion Sins cast behind God's back What is sin? Two definitions: missing the mark and the force that controls God's forbearance The difference between overlooking and forgiving sin God as the only One who can truly forgive Colossians 2 — wiping out the handwriting of requirements Revelation 5 — the title deed to all creation The seven seals as claims of justice against the earth The Lamb as the only one worthy to open the scroll The church removed, justice satisfied, new creation Romans 5 — Sin reigning versus grace reigning Two applications: the person who doesn't know God and the wandering Christian
