2025 THEME: Burning Hearts

Title: Not From Concentrate

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 13 – 36

Not From Concentrate

“The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’ The judges ignored me, the rulers turned against me, and
the prophets spoke in the name of Baal, WASTING THEIR TIME ON NONSENSE.” (Jer 2:8 NLT)

FIVE TAKEAWAYS:

1. 1. 1. 1. As the (leaders go), so go the people.
         2. When we stray, it’s (time to repent).
         3. Learn to (delight) in the LORD [Sandwiched in the middle of the list because it should be CENTRAL!]
         4. Hope in the LORD, no matter (what the odds). Trust in Him, (not in yourself).
         5. Discerning the Lord’s will is not always easy because he often uses (unlikely and unusual)
            instruments to advance his eternal mission of grace. [PDT]

Where in your life are you concerning yourself with “lesser” things while the most important things suffer
from the lack of your attention? Where are you distracted from what matters most?

Which of these five takeaways was for you today?
