Jeremy Utley - Don't Just Kiss God's Promises
Summary
The central message is the necessity of actively clinging to God's promises rather than merely acknowledging them. The speaker uses the contrast between Orpah and Ruth to illustrate this, noting that while Orpah returned to her own people, Ruth remained devoted to Naomi and her God. He warns that the enemy's tactic is not outright doubt, but a subtle tendency to move away from God's promises, which is functionally the same as doubting them.

Jeremy Utley - The Promise Has Not Passed You By
Jeremy Utley · Feb 13, 2018
The central message is that believers must actively grasp and live in the promises and doctrines they have heard, rather than letting them remain mere theology. The speaker encourages the audience not to be discouraged if they feel they haven't yet experienced a promised blessing, drawing parallels from Abraham's faith in Romans 4 and Genesis 15. Ultimately, the call is to respond to God's voice today with faith, believing that the promises are not passed by and can be credited to us as righteousness.
