Jeremiah 17:5-8 \u2013 This is what the Lord says: \u201cCursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.\u201d\n\nTrust \u2013 to be confident and a feeling of safety and security that is felt when one can rely on someone or something\u2026the state of being confident, secure, without fear\n\nSERMON POINT #1 \u2013 FALSE NARRATIVE \u2013 GOD CAN\u2019T BE TRUSTED\n\nSERMON POINT #2 \u2013 JESUS\u2019 NARRATIVE \u2013 GOD IS TRUSTWORTHY\n\nMark 14:35-36 \u2013 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. \u201cAbba, Father,\u201d he said, \u201ceverything is possible for you.
