00:00:36.960 - 00:00:51.200

00:00:51.200 - 00:01:06.660

to rise this morning and assemble at the house of worship to render praises to your name. We know, oh God, that there are many who would like to be here and cannot because of health.

00:01:06.660 - 00:01:19.960

We know that we are blessed and that you have given us a reasonable portion of our health and strength. We thank thee for being able to come to the house of worship in order that we may praise thy name,

00:01:19.960 - 00:01:32.760

00:01:32.760 - 00:01:45.540

00:05:01.500 - 00:05:45.740

verse. "The sin of Judah is ridden with the pin of iron and with the point of a diamond. It is graven upon the table of their heart and upon the horns of your altar. Wilt thy children remember the altars and the groves by the green trees upon the high hills. O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil

00:05:45.740 - 00:06:13.840

and thy high places for sin throughout all their borders. And though even thyself shall discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee, and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thine knowest not. For ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever.

00:06:13.840 - 00:06:45.040

Thus saith the Lord, "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness in a salt land and not

00:06:45.040 - 00:07:16.840

inhabit it. Blessed is a man that trusts in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters and that spread it out her roots by the river, and shall not see when he cometh, but her leaf shall be green, and shall be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

00:07:16.840 - 00:07:49.480

I have read first through the eight verses of the 17th chapter of Jeremiah. May the Lord add a blessings to the reading and the hearing of his word. This is our time of prayer together. We invite you to come forward to the altar, and our altar call for prayer. As a family of God, we unite our hearts in the

00:07:49.480 - 00:08:50.400

blessed fellowship of prayer. I must tell Jesus, I cannot bear these burdens alone. So in the sweet hour of prayer we come to pour out our souls to our Heavenly Father. More things are wrought through prayer than this world dreams of.

00:08:50.400 - 00:09:40.680

Let us bow our heads and close our eyes as we talk with the Heavenly Father. O gracious God, our eternal Heavenly Father, we give you humble thanks for the gift of this day for bringing us together again in this the house of prayer. Whereas your children we have the blessed privilege of singing your praises and listening to your word, we thank

00:09:40.680 - 00:10:10.560

you that you have given us life, you've left us in the land of the living. For we would have fainted unless we had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. As we bow together, we confess our sins.

00:10:10.560 - 00:10:38.020

We're not what we ought to be. We've done things that you've told us not to do. We have sinned and we have fallen short of your glory. Lack of faith, lack of uttermost surrender to you have kept us back.

00:10:38.020 - 00:11:16.920

But we pray right now that you would renew the right spirit within us and help us, O God, to be the kind of people that you want us to be. We are often disturbed by the circumstances around us. We find ourselves uptight by the news that we hear and the circumstances that we experience.

00:11:16.920 - 00:11:45.000

And so we ask for your spirit of strength and comfort and the light of your word to give us direction along the way. Oh bless us now as we stand in your presence. Fill us anew with your meaning and purpose.

00:11:45.000 - 00:12:29.100

And then we pray, oh God, that you would especially bless those who are sick and who are afflicted, who are depressed in spirit and who are suffering from the ailments of the body. We pray, O God, for our world today, for the tensions that are existing among the nations. We pray for our national government and for the circumstances that we face.

00:12:29.100 - 00:12:48.260

Bless us here as a church that we might recognize the opportunities that you have given us to worship for you, to witness for you. Oh Lord have mercy upon us and bless us. Bless each one of us.

00:12:48.260 - 00:13:03.180

You know us one by one and you know what each one of us needs. You know the challenges that we face. You know the difficulties that we experience. Lord have mercy upon us.

00:13:03.180 - 00:13:23.580

Bless us one by one and then bless us collectively as your family, and use us to your glory this day and every day. We ask it in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The subject of the message is "The Bramble Bush and the Fruitful Tree." bramble bush and the fruitful tree. Our text is found in the book of the prophet Jeremiah the 17th chapter and the fifth through the eighth verses. 17th chapter of the book of Jeremiah, the fifth through the eighth verses.

00:23:50.100 - 00:24:50.260

I shall read this passage using the translation of the Jerusalem Bible. A curse on the man who puts his trust in man, who relies on the things of the flesh, whose heart turns from God. He is like a desert shrub. If good comes, he has no eyes for it. He settles in the parched places of the wilderness, a salt land, uninhabited.

00:24:50.260 - 00:25:43.780

A blessing on the man who puts his trust in God, who has the eternal for his hope. is like a tree planted by rivers of water that thrusts its roots to the stream, and And when the heat comes, it feels no alarm. Its leaves are evergreen. It has no worries in a year of drought, and never ceases to bear fruit.

00:25:43.780 - 00:26:34.040

The bramble bush and the fruitful tree." These words from the book of the prophet Jeremiah constitute a nugget of wisdom. They express knowledge which has passed through the gristmill of human experience. It's a parable of contrast concerning the good and the bad, sin and grace. It's a story of two plants,

00:26:34.040 - 00:27:33.560

a bramble bush and a fruitful tree. A bramble bush is a worthless weed, grows in a barren, desolate area. It's unproductive, it grows freely, usurping moisture, but giving nothing in return. The tree on the other hand is planted by rivers of water and produces an abundant supply of fruit. The Prophet Jeremiah points out that the bramble bush and the fruitful tree represent a curse and

00:27:33.560 - 00:28:40.880

and a blessing, despair and hope, death and life. Jeremiah's nugget of wisdom provides us with an opportunity to understand God's system of retribution. Retribution is part of the divine design. It's woven into the moral fiber of the universe. What you sow, that will you also reap. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. In the first place, the Prophet Jeremiah begins with

00:28:40.880 - 00:29:46.920

a description of the kind of human existence portrayed by the Bramble Bush. Curse is the man who relies on man, who leans to his own understanding, turning his thoughts from the eternal. Cursed is he. His existence is threatened. There is an evil omen that faces this man. something unpleasant, something terrible, something devastating is going to happen to this man. He's

00:29:46.920 - 00:30:26.800

under a curse. A curse is something we'd like to avoid. Some people see a black cat cross their path and they consider this the sign of a curse. It's an evil omen. I was in a meeting the other day and there was a ladder in the room and several persons were quick to say don't walk underneath that ladder. It's bad luck. In the religion of ancient Greece and Rome the gods put

00:30:26.800 - 00:31:21.520

curse on certain persons just because they had the power to do so. But the curse Jeremiah describes is determined by what the individual does. Cursed is the man who puts his trust in in man who puts his trust in the flesh. He is sentenced to a miserable existence. No good will come to him. His end is destruction and death. Cursed is the man who puts his

00:31:21.520 - 00:32:05.360

ultimate confidence in humankind, who places his highest hope in mere human aid. Cursed is he who leans on that which is material for his ultimate support in times of stress and strain. Cursed is the man whose primary source of knowledge is himself.

00:32:05.360 - 00:32:53.740

like a doctor who has himself as his own physician, a lawyer who has himself as his own counsel, who has no other frame of reference. Cursed is he. Cursed is the man who measures himself by himself. Cursed is he who tries to be himself all by himself. Cursed is he who puts his confidence, his ultimate trust in the things of the flesh. Cursed is this man,

00:32:53.740 - 00:33:50.460

for he will stew in his own juice. He is like a bramble bush in the desert, a wild worthless weed in a dry, salt, solitary land, for the person who trusts in mere human aid has no fertile ground in which to grow. The person who ignores or denies the claims of God in his life is like a struggling bramble bush. It is trying to live exclusively in the realm of the

00:33:50.460 - 00:34:45.700

flesh and disregard the realm of the Spirit. Cursed is he. Cursed is the man who relies only on man. The person who is rooted and grounded in himself, who places his ultimate hope in the things that are temporary is destined for a great fall. Though he may consider himself high and lifted up, he will be let down. The formula which determines our destiny is our faith. It is based

00:34:45.700 - 00:35:32.780

on where we put our trust. It is determined by what and to whom we are committed. No good can come to the man who turns his heart away from the eternal. This is a word from the wise. It is wisdom which has stood the test of the ages, cursed is this man. He is like a bramble bush. You see this is a warning sign at the crossroads. Take this road and receive a curse. Take the road

00:35:32.780 - 00:36:09.900

of trusting in the flesh, take the road of committing one's ultimate trust to the human passions, take the road of being guided by human appetite, take the road of selfishness, and greed, and arrogance. There is a dark cloud that hangs overhead, it is the sign of the curse, It is the sign of misfortune, it is an evil omen, it is the way of doom. God has already

00:36:09.900 - 00:36:57.440

decreed it, he has already revealed it. There is no excuse. Cursed is he who eats of the tree in midst of the garden. Cursed is he who has his ultimate concern in himself and is centered primarily in self, for he is like the worthless bramble bush in the wastelands. If goodness comes, he has no eyes to see it, for he is cursed. The person who was under the curse is unable to see

00:36:57.440 - 00:37:37.720

the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. He is blind, he has no vision of the good, the true, and the beautiful, for he is cursed. His affections are in the wrong place, he settles in the parched places of the wilderness, a salt land, an uninhabited wasteland. He is a lonely creature isolated from the main traffic of human relations. He's cursed. The nation Judah is under

00:37:37.720 - 00:38:18.680

the curse. King Zedekiah puts his trust in Egypt. He depends on the military might of men. He puts his trust in mere human aid, and he depends upon the military might of Egypt rather than the wisdom and power of God he trusts in Egypt because of her large cavalry, her horses and chariots, because he says that the military might of Egypt is strong, her

00:38:18.680 - 00:38:43.400

men are many. The King Zedekiah travels under the curse. The Prophet Jeremiah, the The prophet Jeremiah talks about the man who is cursed because he trusts in mere human aid. And the prophet Isaiah also issues a warning concerning this course of action.

00:38:43.400 - 00:39:22.560

He says, "Woe unto them who go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses because they they are strong, they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord. Woe unto them, they are under the curse. Now the Egyptians are men and not God. Their horses flesh and not spirit. The problems of our world will not be solved by the Pentagon.

00:39:22.560 - 00:39:57.340

The problems of our world will not be solved by the weapons race. The problems of our world will not be solved by the forces of Egypt. The word is plain. It sounds loud and clear, trust that is placed in mere human aid is like a bramble bush that is struggling in the desert. And so Zedekiah refuses to

00:39:57.340 - 00:40:32.080

listen. He in fact accelerates his speed going in the wrong direction. He's He's traveling under a cloud, he's traveling under a curse, and finally Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, is captured. Bereft of children and blinded, he is carried in chains to Babylon, and he dies there in

00:40:32.080 - 00:41:04.620

exile with his eyes put out a miserable and lonely creature. Cursed is the man who who relies upon the forces of the flesh and and turns his thoughts from the eternal for he is like a bramble bush in the desert that never thrives. Now let us look on the other side.

00:41:04.620 - 00:41:40.380

Blessed is the man who trusts in God. The man who trusts in the in the forces of the flesh has an existence which is miserable. He faces forces of destruction and death, but the one who trusts in God is blessed. Blessed is the man. Salvation belongs to the man who trusts in God. A blessing is pronounced upon him for he

00:41:40.380 - 00:42:14.140

has the Lord as his hope. He is like a tree by the water side whose roots penetrate deeply into the stream. Blessed is he, his faith is in God. Blessed is he for he is committed to the eternal and so he has his life rooted in the eternal rather than in that which is temporary. His life is not anchored to that which

00:42:14.140 - 00:42:44.740

is transitory but his life is anchored to that which lasts so blessed is he. His life is anchored in the things of the Spirit. He's blessed, salvation belongs to him, happiness belongs to him because his life is founded, it is established, it is rooted and grounded in God, in goodness, in justice, in love and so this man is

00:42:44.740 - 00:43:16.120

blessed. You see there is a freshness in his face in spite of the scorching heat. There is a freshness in his faith in spite of the conditions that are around him to the contrary his leaves are evergreen there is a freshness in his faith in spite of the scorching heat as he sees things come and go with all of

00:43:16.120 - 00:43:45.000

the hostility around him there is a freshness in his faith for in every season his leaves remain the same they are evergreen. And here we witness the changing of the seasons. The fall comes and we see the leaves drop off the trees and change their colors and the weather around changes but here is a

00:43:45.000 - 00:44:25.200

tree that no matter what happens whatever the conditions may be the external conditions may be this tree remains the same. There is a freshness of faith. Blessed is he, like a fruitful tree, goes on bearing fruit in seasons of drought, seasons of drought goes on bearing fruit. Seasons of drought and

00:44:25.200 - 00:44:52.760

that that means that when things aren't going right every one of us has seasons of drought. If you haven't had a season of drought in your life keep on living. There is a season of drought there. There is a season when there is no rain falling around you and you're wondering many times as far as the external

00:44:52.760 - 00:45:28.040

conditions are concerned how you're going to make it. But this tree, the fruitful tree has a freshness of faith in seasons of drought and because of the fact that this tree is rightly related to the eternal it goes on bearing fruit. winds may blow, storms may come, the drought is there but this tree just goes

00:45:28.040 - 00:46:06.760

on bearing fruit in seasons of drought and lives serene. You see there's a peace. That there is a peace that surpasses human understanding. You can't you can't understand by just looking at the outside. You see because you see this tree has roots that are deep. They are roots that go deep into the water and

00:46:06.760 - 00:46:36.720

and even in seasons of drought this tree is able to survive because it is able to keep drawing moisture and nourishment from the water because you see this tree is planted by the rivers of water. Doesn't worry about how much drought may be there. says that this man who has his life planted by rivers of water, say he doesn't

00:46:36.720 - 00:47:09.960

worry no matter what happens. Doesn't matter about how many catastrophes and calamities are occurring around that it just goes on bearing fruit in seasons of drought. Well it's a wonderful thing to have a life like that tree, not like the bramble bush, but like the fruitful tree. The tree that is planted by the rivers

00:47:09.960 - 00:47:45.320

of water whose roots reach deeply into the water, whose leaves are evergreen and this tree just goes on bearing fruit. You see when you look at a tree and you you look at the branches and the branches go this way and that way that really Woodman report that the roots correspond to the branches and that when

00:47:45.320 - 00:48:23.880

you see a great oak that there's a great deal underneath that oak and sometimes miles and miles of roots underneath that great oak and you see it has to do with the roots and you see that's what anchors the tree, the roots that are there. And when the storms of life are raging the tree may bend this way and that way but the tree stands and goes on producing fruit because it is anchored in the eternal. It

00:48:23.880 - 00:49:01.440

is anchored in that which lasts. It is anchored in that which will continue in spite of all that may be occurring around it. So the choice is yours and mind where to plant your life whether in the desert as a bramble bush or whether by the water side as a fruitful tree bearing fruit in all manner of seasons. Well take your stand

00:49:01.440 - 00:49:32.840

make the words of a song familiar to most of us that I will be like that tree that fruitful tree I will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water and I shall not be moved I will have an eternal relationship with the eternal I shall not, no, I shall not be moved just like a tree planted by the rivers of

00:49:32.840 - 00:50:06.360

00:52:57.480 - 00:53:14.800

are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And Jesus said, no one can serve two masters. you cannot serve God and Mammon. With these two things,

00:53:14.800 - 00:53:28.720

Jesus Christ spoke on the relationship of man and God, the relationship of the human and divine, Christ and culture, the material and spiritual world.

00:53:28.720 - 00:53:44.920

God was one affair, Mammon and Caesar, the ways of the world, were another. And until this day today, debate among church people like yourself, among theologians and

00:53:44.920 - 00:54:09.840

scholars continues to rest on this message that Jesus spoke. We find these questions. What was to be the right relationship between honoring God and living daily in this world? Were the two affairs of God and of man, were the two to be segregated, never to meet?

00:54:09.840 - 00:54:33.760

Or were Christians to withdraw from this world, living outside the world? Or were they to cause fanatical revolution, destroying Mammon and Caesar in the name of God? Or were they to walk with God while walking in this world, honoring their God by building

00:54:33.760 - 00:55:03.000

relationships between individuals, within families, among neighbors, in the marketplace? In our day we see manifestations of each of these interpretations. We hear some people and preachers, churches, basically individuals who promote the idea that the spiritual world and the material world never meet.

00:55:03.000 - 00:55:24.040

They say that the spirit of God lives in another world in another time. Therefore the material world, the world in which we live, is neither under God's eye nor under man's direction. Therefore we see these people who go out into the wilderness, go to the mountaintop, or

00:55:24.040 - 00:55:48.080

go to other places out beyond the normal ideas of life, we see these people go out into the wilderness instead of coming back to tell us what they learned, they stay. We see some of this in our universities, some of the people who form communes. [BLANK_AUDIO]
