What Do You See When You Look at Yourself? | What Do You See? Week 1

All right, if you want to turn to the book of Jeremiah, chapter one is where we're going to be for the next five weeks. We're going to camp here for a while. We're starting a new season today. We've been in the season for quite some time on Life in the Spirit, and if you missed some of those, you can go back and watch them. But Michelle and I have been reading through the Bible. We've done that together for years. Not together, together. You know, it's like she doesn't sit and listen to me speak, thus saith the Lord in Jeremiah. No. Like we read separately. You know, we're just on the same rhythm, and I don't know why I felt the need to qualify that. And so several, I don't know, month, a couple months ago, I read through Jeremiah, and when you get to chapter one, it's so familiar. You know, we'll read it in a minute. It's a super familiar passage, but for some reason, it just hit different. And there was a particular verse that we'll do, I think it's like in week four, that when I first read it, I was like, oh, this is a leadership talk. This is such a good leadership moment. And so I kind of started studying that, and I actually took it to my circle. I have a circle that I meet with every other week that are all businessmen. They all run businesses, and so I went and gave them this leadership talk, and it just resonated so well that I went back and I just started digging and uncovering and just getting in Jeremiah chapter one a lot. And so this is all coming out of that. It's going to be five weeks, all right, of just digging into the following passage. Jeremiah chapter one, I'm going to read verses four through 12, all right?

This is a word that comes to Jeremiah from the Lord before he starts him on his path to his calling. So this is kind of him pulling and drawing him out, and he wants to speak some things over him and pull some things out of him before he assigns him and appoints him and sends him on his calling. So verse four, it'll start out real familiar for those of you that have been around the Bible at all. Verse four says, the Lord gave me this message. I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born, I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations. Oh, sovereign Lord, I said, I cannot speak for you. I'm too young. And the Lord replied, don't say I'm too young, for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don't be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord have spoken. Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, look, I have put my words in your mouth and today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow, and others you must build up and plant. Then the Lord said to me, look, Jeremiah, what do you see? That's the name of our season that we're starting today that we'll talk about for the next five weeks. What do you see? This is what the Lord's asking Jeremiah. And Jeremiah replies and said, I see a branch from an almond tree. And the Lord said, that's right. It means that I'm watching. I think that's week four. I love that one.

And I will certainly carry out all my plans. Look at your neighbor and say, what do you see? Don't answer that question because it might not be nice. What if chapter one of Jeremiah isn't just a message for Jeremiah, but it's a message to all of us that the Lord wants to speak to us. And I believe it's the case that the Lord wants to speak to us. Anytime you read something in the Bible, it's directed to us. Jeremiah chapter one is no different. He's showing Jeremiah that he was called out by God. He was formed by God, created by God, set apart by God, anointed by God for a specific reason and for a specific purpose. And so are you. And so are we. And whether you're 108 or eight, God's not done with you. He's got an assignment. He's got something that he wants you to do. But all through this text, it wasn't that Jeremiah wasn't available. He was available. It's that his perception was wrong. And so God spends a big chunk of chapter one fixing his perception before he sends him out to his calling. And I think the Lord wants to do the same in us because we're like Jeremiah. Jeremiah could not see himself correctly. He did not have a proper vision of himself and God had to correct that and God had to pull some things out of him And so I'm gonna go ahead and give you all five weeks right now every week We're gonna answer a different question and all we're gonna do is go verse-by-verse It's gonna be like the most simple process ever. We're gonna go verse-by-verse line-by-line precept upon precept All right, and so week one that's today. This is what we're gonna talk about This is the question that we're gonna answer this week is what do you see when you look at yourself? What do you see when you look at yourself?

Week two we're gonna talk about what do you see when you look at people? In in verse 8 God says don't fear the people Week three it says we're gonna we're gonna answer the question. What do you see when nothing seems to be happening? When when just nothing seems to be moving you've been waiting for God to move you've been waiting for this thing forever Nothing seems to be happening. How do we perceive that? And what do I see? And what do I not see? Right, so that's verse 9 and 10 I'm sorry, that's verse 11 and 15 Week 4 oddly enough is Father's Day On Father's Day, we're gonna wrestle with the question. What do you see that needs to be built up or torn down? That's a great leadership talk as leaders There's things you must break down and tear down and destroy and there's things you must build up and plant and there's things in that as Fathers too. We're called to tear down things and we're called to build things up So that'll be that'll be week for Father's Day And then week five will conclude with what do you see when you look at a battle or when you look at opposition or when? You look at the enemy. How do you perceive the view when you when you have something coming against you? And what do you see on that so that's what we're gonna unpack so let's go back to week one today We're gonna wrestle with that question. What do you see? When you look at yourself It's pretty rare really I mean we look at ourselves in the mirror most days I hope you do anyways you should But do we how often do we really look at our innermost being and We're unique creatures that we have the ability to do this Your dog is not at home right now going I wonder We have the ability as humans. We're the only species on the planet that can think about what you're thinking about This is kind of a psychological term. It's called metacognition. You have the ability to think about what you're thinking about and No other species can do this so we have the ability to think about ourselves and how we think about ourselves and why we think about ourselves that way and It's a it's kind of a deep psychological Philosophical journey, but it's an important one and I want to show you today. Why it's it's not just some psychological mumbo-jumbo It's biblical like it's scriptural and he was showing Jeremiah and teaching Jeremiah. It matters how you see yourself Matters how you see yourself

I'm not asking you how your spouse sees you I don't care how your Instagram friends see you or Facebook friends or how your co-workers see you how the world sees you What do you see? in you It's such an important Question to wrestle with let's just it'd be fun. It'd be awkward. I like awkward sometimes in church Close your eyes real quick. Just close your eyes. I Want you to we'll have like a five seconds of silence All right, and I want you to think about what you're thinking about and I want you to think about How you see yourself and what words pop up, all right identify words that pop into your mind How do you see yourself? And I want you to remember that word those words that are popping into your mind because there could be a lot of different words you could be thinking about Your insecurities you can be thinking about your mistakes. You could think about am I capable or am I incapable? You might be thinking I am bold. You might be thinking I'm fearful. You might be thinking I'm overlooked I'm a victim. I'm a conqueror I'm a child of God. I'm confident. I'm insecure. I'm called I'm disqualified. I am mistakes I'm enough. I'm not enough. I'm faithful. I'm failing it could be a million different things that pop up the rise to the surface But they're really important things to wrestle with Because the most important voice in your life is the voice that's narrating your identity And we're gonna talk a lot about identity in the fall. I feel that stern in me that identity Is at the core of how you see yourself? Is it the core of what God wants to do in you and through you all? Begins with identity and many times our identity is this voice in our head that's speaking to us and leading us and guiding us And we're not the first person to wrestle with us all through scripture and all through history. Okay, we're not that special everybody He has wrestled with this. Every human being that's ever walked the face of this earth

and grown old enough to do so has wrestled with that idea of identity, and who am I, what's my calling, and what's my purpose, and why am I here? And we question ourselves internally. Everybody in the Bible did it. Moses, every time God calls somebody to do something in Scripture, if you look close enough, he always challenges their identity first. What was Moses' excuse? I can't speak. I stutter. Here's what I want you to do. I can't. Gideon, I can't. I'm the weakest in my tribe, and I'm from the weakest tribe. Saul, when he was called to be king of Israel, the Bible says that he was hiding in the luggage. Something in him thought, I'm not able to do this. The way he saw himself was holding him back from everything that God wanted to use him to do. And Jeremiah is no different. Jeremiah says three words, four words. I'm too young. That's three words. I was thinking I am, okay? I'm not that crazy. I'm too young. And those three words were exposing something in him.

And it's happened all through history. In ancient Greek, in the first century Rome, Greek philosophers were all about identity, and who am I, and what makes me up? Is it virtue? Is it reason? They were big on body and formation of body and all of the Greek gods, and the Olympics were birthed out of that. Maybe it's in our body. Maybe it's our mind. It was all about this, who am I? What's my calling? What's my accomplishment? In a lot of the Bible times that we read about, especially later on in the first century Rome and Old Testament, you ever noticed how nobody has last names in the Bible? It'll just say John, son of blank. It was because a lot of their identity was wrapped up in their lineage and their fathers and their grandfathers, and so a lot of that was brought up in those ways. And so all throughout the centuries, in fourth and fifth century and Augustine and all the great philosophers, a lot of them were trying to answer the same question we're trying to answer today. Who the heck am I? Why am I here?

And that's why it's so important how you see yourself because it shapes, your identity shapes everything about you and how you'll live your life. Okay, I actually think, I'm sure every century has said this, but I actually think it's more important today than maybe ever because I don't think we've ever lived, I think we're living in one of the most identity-confused generations of all time. Everybody is confused about who they are. They're confused about their gender, confused about what subcategory they're in and what group they're in. Gangs, do you know why gangs are so successful? Because it gives them an identity. It's just identity. And we live in an era where everything around us is trying to shape us and mold us at all times, at all times. Your algorithms on social media, every scroll of the next reel is trying to form you and shape you into something, trying to tell you who you are and who you're not and who you should be. It's all formation with labels and politics and sexuality and trauma, all trying to tell you who you are. That's why it's so important and that's why I just see this bubbling up in Jeremiah chapter one,

is he's saying, how do you see yourself? I want to, just like God was trying to show Jeremiah, I wanna show you how you see yourself and then I wanna show you how I see you. Tim Keller said, identity is received, not achieved. So some of us don't see ourselves clearly the way God sees us. And we're gonna talk more about that in a minute. But I don't wanna oversimplify the text, but I'm gonna, just to kind of give it a framework for us to unpack today, okay? So we're gonna unpack a couple of verses here, like four or five, four and five really, and kind of down a little bit further, but I don't wanna oversimplify it, but I'm gonna, okay? So we're gonna unpack these one at a time, but I just wanna say them up top, okay? Let me just retell this story in a few words. Before I formed you, I knew you. I set you apart. I appointed you. I'm too young. Don't say that. You're gonna go where I tell you to go and you're gonna say what I tell you to say. I just oversimplified the text. But I do think that this is a pattern, if you look close enough in your life, this is a pattern of your wrestle with God too. And God continually trying to reestablish

who you are in his eyes. replace the lies that the world has tried to feed you with, with his truth, to prepare you for what he wants you to go do next. And so I wanna unpack those a little deeper, every one of them real quick in the time we have left. Okay, so let's talk about the first one. Before I formed you, before I formed you. This is such a crazy text when you really think about what God is telling Jeremiah. And the most important word in there is before, before. So on the cusp of Jeremiah going into his future and his calling, God doesn't come down and be like, all right, here's where we're going, this is what it's gonna be, here's the vision for the future, here's the challenges you're gonna face. He goes, to start your journey, we're gonna reverse and go back in time. And he goes, I want you to know something, Jeremiah. I formed you, I created you in your mother's womb. I crafted you and shaped you and mold you, but the story doesn't start there. It actually starts before that. Because before I formed you, I knew you. That is a mind-blowing thing, to think that before you were ever a twinkle in your daddy's eye, God knew you. So he already had intentions before. Before what?

Before the mistakes, before the failures, before your problems, before your disappointments. If you could reverse the clock, if I could just fix all that. No, no, no, no, God knew you before that. Have you ever heard somebody say, somebody gets real famous and rich, and they're like, I knew him before he ever got famous. That's what God's saying about you. He's saying, before you made mistakes, before the failure, before the pain, before the rejection, before the abuse, before the scandal, before you were rich, before you ever became anybody, I knew you before that, before that. And the world has a way of trying to frame us and form us into these subcategories, right? You're successful or you're unsuccessful. You're rich or you're poor. You're intelligent or you're unintelligent. And this starts at an early age. When you got to kindergarten, somebody told you whether you were intelligent or not. Based on the gold star for you, good job. That was a formative moment for you. And since then, we have been trying, we have been being formed by the world at all times. Most of us in this room have been formed to know that the thunder are the best. Some of you have been formed by the dark side.

Kidding. But the world's always trying to form us. It'll form you through applause or the pursuit of it. It'll form you through rejection, achievements, trauma, comparison. At all times, the world is trying to form you. And there's only two things in the world that can form you, okay, to oversimplify that. The things of this world or the kingdom of heaven. Jesus talked about the kingdom of heaven over and over and over again. Jesus is like, hey, there's only, let me just break all this down for you real simple. The kingdom of this world and the kingdom of heaven. And what I'm challenged by every week and it haunts me is that I only get to talk to you for like 30 minutes. Well, that was a lie. You know me, it's a little bit longer than that. But if you come to church every week, that's a big if, statistically speaking. But the world is forming you all day, every day. When's the last time you looked at your screen time? The average person, I looked it up, I don't know where it is in my notes. The average person is looking at some screen for over seven hours a day. That screen is forming you. Everything is trying to fight for time. And God was just confronting Jeremiah and saying, I need to settle something with you, okay, Jeremiah.

Before this life ever tried to redefine you, I knew you. Because this world is trying to tell you that you're one thing. But long before the world ever had exposure to you, before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you. And that's the second step, this idea. Number two is I knew you. It's not just that he formed you. That'd be cool, and that's pretty amazing, the miracle of creation. But if all you believe is that God formed you, then you're a deist. That's actually called deism. Deism is the belief that God created the earth, and he created men and women, and then he was just like, good luck. Y'all have at it. And some people believe that. But he's telling Jeremiah, before I formed you, I knew you. There's an intimacy there. And if you wanna get super awkward, the Hebrew word there is yadah. It's the same Hebrew word used all through the Old Testament. If you read King James. Here's a new King James Version when mom and dad have a baby. If you haven't had that talk yet, we'll just keep it there. The Bible says, Adam knew Eve, and Eve conceived a child. Same exact Hebrew word that God's saying, before I formed you, I knew you.

There's an intimacy to that. Now don't make it sexual, that's weird. He's saying, I know everything about you. The two become one, there's intimacy there. So it's like, I love looking at the father as the clay. I'm the pot, I'm the clay, and he's the potter. So what God is really saying is, before I ever formed you into anything, I knew you when you were just clay, and I still loved you. Before you were ever shaped and molded into anything, before you ever performed anything, I knew you. And here's the problem with that, and this is probably the biggest thing the Lord's working in me, is if that's true, if God knew me before he formed me, it means that he knows the best version that I'm supposed to be. And here's what I've wrestled with lately. I want to know the version of me that God knew before he formed me. Like, I wanna meet this guy. If God knew me before I was ever formed, before the world, before sin ever came into my life and formed me and shaped me and the world and the tug and the greed and the money and all of the everything that the world is trying to come after me with, I wanna know the me that God knew. And I wanna become more like him. So if you wanna go on a fun journey,

go on a journey that will change your life of asking God to show you the person in you that he knew before he formed you. And then God tells Jeremiah, I knew you before I formed you. I set you apart. I set you apart. So that's number three, is I set you apart. This is the Hebrew word kados. It means to consecrate, to prepare, to dedicate. It basically means, like, if you've ever had something really special to you, like if you had your mother or your grandmother pass down some fine china to you, that fine china is set apart. You don't use it on Tuesday night, spam night. You know, it's not for Taco Tuesday. It's in the cupboard. It's set apart for a specific purpose, for a specific time. It's consecrated. It's important. Like, ladies, you don't mow the yard in your wedding dress. A wedding dress, it's set apart. Like, it's special, it's intimate. And this is what God says to all of us. I knew you before I formed you, and I have set you apart for a purpose. And when God told Jeremiah that, I set you apart, he wasn't saying you're more special than anybody else,

you're my favorite. He was saying, hey, I've got something for you. And then he goes right into the next thing. He says, I set you apart. But then he also says, I appointed you. I appointed you. Isn't that the same thing? No, they're not. They're not the same thing. The fine china is set apart, but the day that you go to pull the fine china out of the cabinet to set the table with, now it's appointed. It's appointed for May the 31st, Sunday night dinner, on such a time as this, now it's going to be used for God. So set apart speaks to who you are. You're the wedding dress. Sorry, that's probably not the greatest of analogies. Being appointed means it's wedding day. It's wedding day. So he does this to us, and it's just, and what strikes me about Jeremiah chapter one is you have to read the rest of Jeremiah to understand the brutality of what this guy was going to do. Jeremiah was referred to as the weeping prophet. So his calling was to go and speak to kings and priests and to tell them of the coming exile, the coming doom, if they don't come back to God. Over and over and over again, he challenged them.

He did unbelievable, unbelievable things to show them through analogies, through metaphors. He spoke and preached. No one ever listened to him. Watch this in chapter seven, Jeremiah seven. This is God speaking to Jeremiah. Tell them all this, but do not expect them. to listen, shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond. And then in Jeremiah 25, let me just show you this right quick, I don't think they have this for the screens, but in Jeremiah 25, this is Jeremiah speaking, in verse two, it says, Jeremiah, the prophet said to all the people in Judah and Jerusalem, for the past 25 years, from the 13th year of the reign of Josiah, son of Ammon, king of Judah, until now, the Lord has given me his messages. I have faithfully passed them on to you, but you have not listened. Now, grasp what this means. This would be like God coming to you. This would be like God coming to me, all right, and saying, John, I want you to be the pastor of Victor Church, and I want you to preach every single week, and I'm gonna pack out the house every single week, but don't expect them to listen to a word you say. And every week I show up, and I'm preaching the gospel, and all you guys are playing Candy Crush,

and you're on your phones, and you're on Instagram, and you're looking at me like, why is this guy on the stage? Why is he even up here? This was Jeremiah's life. Now it begins to become crystal clear why chapter one was so brutally important for Jeremiah. Because if God hadn't spoken to Jeremiah with such clarity about identity, and what I'm calling you to do, and I knew you before I formed you, and I'm the one that's formed you, not the world, I formed you. I've set you apart, and I've anointed you to do this. Now, I'm putting words in your mouth, go say them. Without chapter one, he would have gone out to do the calling, and he would have been discouraged, and he would have allowed the rejection and the perceived failure to squash his calling. I know I would have quit. This would be like you starting a business, and then God telling you, oh, hey, by the way, your business is gonna suck, and it's not gonna work. All right, now go, it's gonna be great. But this is why the identity was so critically important. And then after all that, Jeremiah, the next step, Jeremiah says, I'm too young. I'm too young. And that's how quickly insecurity can creep in. That's how quickly our insecurities surpass God's calling.

And this is, we know that Jeremiah was formed outside of God, because God says, don't say that, don't say that. We'll get to that in a minute. But somewhere along the way, someone or something taught Jeremiah that in order to be used by God, you have to become something first, you have to become successful at something, and then you can go be used by God. Something had told Jeremiah that you're too young. And so we all have these things that we say. We all have these things that we limit ourselves, right? I'm not educated enough, I'm too shy, I'm an introvert, I can't start a circle, I don't know the Bible well enough, I'm divorced, I was a bad parent, whatever it is, we're no different than Jeremiah. We look at ourselves, and we disqualify ourselves based upon the world's formation of whatever it was that told us whether we're usable or not. And then the next step, this is the best part. God didn't say, you're right, Jeremiah, you are young, but you're okay. He doesn't give him this pep talk and be like, I know, but I wanna use you, it's gonna be great. God says, don't say. Which tells us the power of our words. He didn't try to correct Jeremiah and be like, no, it's fine, it's gonna be great. He just says, don't you say that. And it reveals to us the power of our words,

not over just other people, those are powerful enough, but how you speak about yourself. And how many times do you hang around people, or maybe it's you, that you'll do something, you'll forget something, and you're just like, oh, I'm so stupid, I'm so forgetful, I'm so clumsy, and God would be like, don't say that. Something was so powerful enough that it was the only correction, it was really the only true correction that God gave Jeremiah in this whole process was what he was saying with his tongue about himself. So that's why it's really, really important to answer the question, what do you see when you see yourself? And then God gives him the directive, you must go where I tell you to go, and you must say what I tell you to say. tell you to say. So, we're gonna have some homework. All right, here's your homework. You ready for homework? Your homework this week is to somewhere on the top of your journal, in your phone, in your notes section, something you'll see every day, all right, you can put it on the mirror in your bathroom, put it in the dashboard of your car, somewhere you'll see every day. I want you to just write two words. And every time you see these two words,

I want you to be reminded of this, all right? And I pray that the Holy Spirit, one of the attributes of the Holy Spirit is that he brings all things back to our remembrance. That's my prayer, is that he brings this message back to your remembrance. And the two words you're gonna say is, right, is don't say. Don't say. And pay attention throughout the week of your words. Why is it that important, John? I don't have that much influence. Okay, last verse. Jeremiah chapter seven, this is, I've read this, I don't know how many times, and this week it stuck out like a sore thumb. In Isaiah chapter seven, the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Syria are coming against Judah. At this time, Israel has split into two kingdoms, the kingdom of Israel, the kingdom of Judah, and God bless you, and Israel has come into alignment with Syria, and they're attacking Judah, all right? So this is what it says in Isaiah 7, 7. It says, this is what the sovereign Lord says to the king of Judah. This invasion will never happen. It will never take place. Now listen to the truth in this. For Syria is no stronger than its capital, Damascus.

And Damascus is no stronger than its king, Rezan. Rezan. As for Israel, within 65 years, it will be crushed and completely destroyed. And then it says the same thing about Israel. Israel is no stronger than its capital, Samaria, and Samaria is no stronger than its king, Pekah. And then it says this crazy loaded phrase. The Lord tells the king of Judah, unless your faith is firm, I cannot make you stand firm. What does that have to do with any of this, John? Okay, I was gonna do this as a leadership talk, and I'm still gonna. It's a great leadership talk, incredible leadership talk. I want you to really internalize this. The Lord says, this is the Lord speaking. He says, a nation is no stronger than its capital, and a capital is no stronger than its king. Such as to say, a nation is no stronger than its king. Could it be said that we too have our own kingdoms that we rule over? You have a nation that you rule over. Maybe it's your family, it could be your business, it could be your department. It could be a lot of different things, but you have been given authority and rule over something, even if it's just yourself, and it's tying this thing. So it makes me think, a church is no stronger than its leadership team, and a leadership team is no stronger than its pastor.

Or it could be said, my family, Jace and Corey, is no stronger than their parents. And what if my marriage is no stronger than the husband or the wife? And it's like God was revealing this to Jeremiah, saying, hey, I have appointed you and set you apart to go and speak to kings, but you will not stand firm in your faith if you don't come into alignment with your identity and who you are. And what if how you see yourself impacts kingdoms? Maybe not nations, but your nation, your family, your work, your environment. It's such an important, we're gonna do a whole series, we're gonna do a whole season on this in the fall, this idea of identity, because it is literally the building blocks, it is the pillars on which your life is built, is how you see yourself. What do you see when you look at yourself? Let me pray for you. Lord, I pray, Lord, that as we enter into this week, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, that you would not let the seeds of this message fall to the wayside. I pray that as the week goes on that we wrestle with this question, that the Holy Spirit brings this back to our remembrance and that those words would echo in our hearts throughout the week, don't say that.

When we say things about ourselves, Lord, or other people, I pray that the Holy Spirit would bring this back to our remembrance and that just like you told Jeremiah, you would tell us, don't say that about yourself. God, show us that you knew us before you formed us. I want to get to know that person. I want to become more like Jesus every day. I want to be formed more by the kingdom of heaven than the kingdom of this world. If you're here today at any of our campuses with your heads bowed and your eyes closed and you don't know Jesus, you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus, this is the beginning of your identity. Your true identity when you give your life to Jesus is that you now become what the Bible says is co-heirs with Christ, that you become a son of God or a daughter of God. That is your new identity and this is the beginning, this is the building blocks of your life is receiving a new identity and that is received by receiving Jesus into your heart and the salvation of the cross. So if you're here at any of our campuses, in just a moment, the campus pastor's coming up on your stage if you're at one of the other campuses and I'm gonna count to three and when I say three, I want you to just raise your hand and somebody at your campus is gonna connect with you and make eye contact with you and pray over you.

So at all of our campuses right now, I'm gonna count to three and if you need to give your life to Jesus and come into the fullness of the identity of being under him, I want you to raise your hand, ready?
