Jeremiah: Jesus is the Righteous Branch
Andrew Allison · Listen
Sermon Questions Jeremiah 23:1-8
1. Describe a time when you were under a fantastic leader. What did that feel like for you and what made her or him such a great leader?
2. Recall a time when you’ve been under poor or even selfish leadership. How did that work out?
3. God promised to raise a ‘righteous Branch’ from David. God didn’t give up on David’s line, how might that bring hope to you?
4. Good leadership usually means people aren’t afraid or terrified or missing (v. 4) , it often means people are fruitful and increase in number (v. 3). Does one of those qualities resonate with you today?

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
