Jeremiah 29:13 
Psalms 63:1 
Luke 11:9 
 
What does the bible mean by seeking? 
Language origins: 
 
Hebrew (Jeremiah 29:13, Psalms 63:1): šāḥar- Pronounced: shaw-khar' (Shaw-Care). 
To seek, seek early or earnestly, look early or diligently for (Qal) to look for diligently, seek (Piel) to seek, seek early. 
 
Greek (Luke 11:9): zēteō- Pronunciation dzay-teh'-o (Dzay-tay-o). 
To seek in order to find to seek a thing to seek [in order to find out] by thinking, meditating, reasoning, to enquire into to seek after, seek for, aim at, strive after to seek i.e. require, demand to crave, demand something from someone. 
 
1. Seeking God with our whole heart. 
-Requires humility. 
-The challenge for Christians here is to say “I have been saved a long time. I don’t need anything else.” 
-It requires humility to admit one is spiritually stagnated or even drifted back into old sins. 
-A willingness to grow in the Lord. 
-Seeking God with our whole heart means we are seeking God in sincerity. 
-We are searching for more of God and His Holy Spirit. 
 
2. Seeking God in His word. 
-Also requires a posture of humility. 
-A humility that says even though I have been a Christian for a long time I do not know everything. I have been going to bible study my whole life. 
-Moving past religiosity and self-righteousness. 
-Studying God’s word regularly for application and not head knowledge. 
-Apply it to ourselves. Not someone else. 
 
3. Seeking God in prayer. 
-This requires humility as well because we can pray in self-righteousness and pride and get nowhere. 
-Earnest prayer and fasting. 
-Travailing and overcoming in prayer. 
-Practical ways of praying (On our knees, standing, praying aloud, tears, patiently waiting, turn off technology, praying regularly, if we have a self-righteous attitude we are getting nowhere). 
-Spending time with God. 
-Seeking for deliverance. 
-Seeking God for our healing (Physically, emotionally and spiritually). 
-Seeking for the fullness of the Holy Ghost. 
II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 
-Praying in faith, that God hears us and prayer changes things. 
 
Small Group Discussion questions: 
1. What are things that hinder Christians from growing in the Lord? 
 
 
2. What are things that can personally hinder us? 
 
 
3. What things or people hinder you personally in your life that you need to let go of? 
 
 
4. In what ways can pride and tradition hinder our spiritual growth? 
 
 
5. What would happen if the whole church began to seek God in earnest and in sincerity?

-So it is with the spiritual.

Title: God Wants to Restore The Backslider 
Jeremiah 3:11-15, 22 
First Antioch Church, Cincinnati, OH 
July 26, 2020 
 
Introduction- Israel’s Habit of Backsliding 
Israel had a pattern of falling away from God and coming back to him. In verse 14 Jeremiah says Turn, O backsliding children. This turn or turning means to depart from your wicked ways and turn back toward God. 
 
POINT ONE- What does the bible mean by Backsliding? 
Here the word backsliding literally means a “Falling away.” A falling away from God. The Greek word used in the New Testament is apostasia, from where we get our word apostasy. 
 
POINT TWO- It is God’s will that the backslider be restored. 
 
POINT THREE- We have to make the first step. 
 
POINT FOUR- Many people have fallen away. 
-Because of the times that we live in, not being able to go to church as we like, many people have fallen back into sin. 
 
POINT FIVE-He is Married to the Backslider 
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 
 
Conclusion- Time to Return to God 
I say that to those out there that have fallen away from the Lord or that has not be as diligent as you used to be. You have been putting the things of the world ahead of the things of God. Come let us return to the Lord. When you come to the Lord you must come just as you are. 
 
Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 
 
The Lord says in verses 22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.

TITLE: “Finding Peace Angry Times” 
Genesis 27:35-41 
 
NOTES 
 
INTRODUCTION- Every generation has stated that the times they lived in were unprecedented. Indeed they thought the times they lived in were more troubled and disturbing than any previous era. 
 
POINT ONE- Scriptural Background 
This is a familiar bible story. In those time God had given the fathers a special give to directly speak blessings on their children. 
 
POINT TWO- Jacob Stole Esau’s birthright and blessing 
 
POINT THREE- Isaac Blesses Esau but it is nowhere near Jacob’s blessing. 
 
POINT FOUR- Esau’s Anger and Hatred Toward his brother 
 
POINT FIVE- Sometime anger is justified but the important thing is what we do with that anger. 
 
POINT SIX- Although we are being mistreated as a race that is not justification to be prejudice, bitter and hateful. 
 
CONCLUSION 
POINT SEVEN- Christ was hated, mistreated but he still loved and was not bitter. No Christ did not retaliate or lash out. He did not use his powers to destroy humanity. He was hung up for my hang ups. He did not retaliate. In fact, “He never said a mumbling word for me.”
