Intro
Popular Culture- (also called pop culture) is generally recognized by members of a society as a set of the practices, beliefs, and objects that are dominant or ubiquitous in a society at a given point in time.
If I were to say to you certain terms or speak about beliefs and objects it would usually identify with people from that time.
It would be popular culture, things that were dominant in your time.
I could mention that all adults were able to discipline you if you were doing wrong and a certain number of people would identify with this.
I could mention having a conk put on your hair and people would identify.
What about bell bottoms, 281-330-8004, Hot Boys, T.G.I.G, Jimmy Johnson, Black Panthers, and The Black Panther.
They all mean something to someone based on the popular culture of the time.
But there are things that exist within those same times that are not so memorable.
And while we exist in a popular culture that is full of Drake’s music, Yeets, Presidential Tweets, and Social Media challenges.
There is something that remains as unpopular culture.
And that is the word of God.
For Jeremiah his life was
Jeremiah Slide with the tree goes here.
Jeremiah was countercultural.
He was not a part of popular culture.
He did not fit in!
As a young man he was approached and called by God.
And so Jeremiah accepts this call from God.
To proclaim to God’s people that they have been disobedient, God is not happy with it, and destruction will soon come for them too.
Jeremiah is a prophet that uses object lessons in his ministry.
He is called by God at one point to go to the potter’s house to observe.
God had used Jeremiah to also give a warning beforehand.
They had already done evil and were going to be punished but God says that He has the ability to change the course of things.
In the next verse you see that they choose to not listen and ultimately talk bad about him.
And so God decided that he would punish the people.
He compared them to a flask made by a potter.
He said he would turn His back on them in their calamity.
God had Jeremiah to break a clay jar to represent what he was going to do with Israel.
As it turns out the message of God through the prophet was not the most popular message.
It was not a dominant thought among God’s people to be obedient.
They wanted to hear God’s word but had no intention of obeying.
And that is what brings us to the text for today.
Elijah is at a point to where he has bought in to the word of God, has been an obedient participant in God’s word, but now he faces problems due to his calling.
His situation fits in with us today who have bought in to the plan of salvation, been baptized, have become disciples, and now we share a message with the world that has never been a part of popular culture!
Walk It Talk It
God convinced him and he was persuaded.
How that correlates to us
Convinced
People deride and mock him.
Jeremiah is seen as worthless and what he takes seriously no one else takes serious!
Popular Culture
He does what he is supposed to by speaking God’s word.
But being obedient causes him to face trials and tribulation.
Can’t win for losing...
Never Gonna Give You Up
“I will not make mention of Him...” “Nor speak anymore in His name.”
Because of the issues that he is going through he tries to convince himself not to do what God called him to do.
When in sorrow one’s own heart can be their biggest enemy.
“But His word WAS in my heart...”
Thank God for His word and the effect on our life!
Once we have known His word and have been obedient, it then has a lasting effect on our hearts.
This had a profound effect on his life.
WHEN THE WORD OF GOD WAS BEING DROWNED OUT BY THE LAUGHING AND MOCKING OF THE CHILDREN OF SATAN HIS PAST ACTIONS
“Shut up in my bones”
IT WAS INTENSE!
“I was weary of holding it back”
It was tiring for him and he could not hold it back.
Fortunate
