Sunday Sermon: Pour From Jar To Jar

Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another— she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”
— Jeremiah 48:11-12 (NIV)
like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft
— Deuteronomy 32:11 (NIV)
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
— John 15:2 (NIV)
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’ Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. Though they build houses, they will not live in them; though they plant vineyards, they will not drink the wine.
— Zephaniah 1:12-13 (NIV)
