“For I resolved to know

nothing while I was with you

except

Jesus Christ and

him crucified.”

“THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS:

Jeremiah 17:5-8

Intr.:

A. ‘ CURSED IS THE ONE

1. who trusts in man,

2. who depends on flesh for his strength and

3. whose heart turns away from the Lord.

4. He will be like a bush in the wastelands;

5. he will not see prosperity when it comes.

6. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,

7. in a salt land where no one lives.

B. BUT BLESSED IS THE MAN

1. who trusts in the Lord,

2. whose confidence is in him.

3. He will be like a tree planted by the water

4. that sends out its roots by the stream.

5. It does not fear when heat comes;

6. its leaves are always green.

7. It has no worries in a year of drought

8. and never fails to bear fruit.’ “

End:
