Psalm 88 Worksheet One of the most interesting things about this Psalm and the next is that they are written by 2 men named Heman the Ezrahite and Ethan the Ezrahite. Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were each descendants of Levi’s sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Asaph was from Gershon; Heman from the line of Kohath; Ethan from Merari (1 Chr. 6:31-48). Heman has the added distinction of being the grandson of _______________________ (1 Chr. 6:33). Asaph wrote 12 Psalms, 11 here in book 3 of the Psalms; Heman wrote Psalm 88 and Ethan wrote Psalm 89. So 13 of the 17 Psalms of Book 3 are attributed to David’s key music leaders from the tribe of Levi. The tone of Psalm 88 is very much one of _____________________________. It appears the Psalmist is facing suffering and death is very discouraged. It is not regarded as a Messianic Psalm, but several verses remind me of the suffering Jesus endured. As I read Psalm 88, look for the different ways death is referred to. Also look for the 3 times he speaks of calling out or crying out to the LORD. A man _______________________ death cries out to the LORD V. 1-9 This man is despondent, but at least he is __________________________. Be honest with God in your prayers like in Psalm 88, and then go on to the kind of perspective that Psalm ____________ gives! The first reference to death is in verse 3, the word grave or Sheol. Sheol occurs 64 times in the Old Testament. The second reference to death is in verse 4, the word pit or bor. Bor occurs 61 times in the Old Testament. The third reference to death is in verse 5, “adrift among the dead.” The word for dead is mut, which occurs 693 times in the Old Testament. The sixth and seventh references to death are the words darkness and depths in verse 6. The word “wrath” in verse 7 reminds me of when Jesus was bearing our sin on the cross and cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me” (2 Cor. 5:21; John 3:36). Verse 8 reminds me of Jesus “shut up” on the cross, with so many of His followers not there to support Him. Jesus can identify with the Psalmist and any of us who feels neglected or forsaken by _____________. Verses 1 and 9 begin and end the first section by crying out to the LORD in the midst of this man facing death. A man ______________________ death cries out to the LORD V. 11-18 Verses 10-12 feature 6 questions that it appears the Psalmist fears the answer is no but Christians now know the answer is ________________ in Christ! Let’s not forget our count of references to death – verses 10-12 have the eighth through ________________ references to death! Verse 13 gives the one note of hope that after death, the “___________________________” will come. We borrow that hope from this being near to Psalm 86 by David. “I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.” -Psalm 86:11-12 Back in Psalm 88, the Psalmist wants to know, he wants to feel what David feels and __________________ in Psalm 86, but he is on the struggle bus. Verses 15 to the end make that struggle clear. Verse 15 gives us at least the 14th reference to death. With other references to being “cut off”, “wrath” and “terrors,” we may get all the way to ________________ references to death. Why is this discouraging Psalm in the Psalter, meant to be sung by the people? Sometimes getting the way we feel out there begins the ___________________________. Psalm 88 is like parts of the book of Ecclesiastes, that really describe the emptiness in life without God. Ecclesiastes brings to despair to then drive to faith in God (Ecc. 12:13-14). Psalm 89 does that for book 3 of of the Psalms. After the discouraging note of Psalm 88, Psalm 89 includes this thought to God’s people when they feel discouraged: Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow My faithfulness to fail. -Psalm 89:33…

Give All to Gain All - 4/13/2025 Sunday Sermon 45:05

Give All to Gain All - Matthew 13:44-58 When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God - Warren Wiersbe When King Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, He was offering Himself up as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Zechariah 9:9 (ESV) 9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Jesus came into Jerusalem on the very day the sacrificial lambs that would become the Passover lambs were brought into Jerusalem from Bethlehem. Jesus is the Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7) who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Psalm 118:25-26a (ESV) 25Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! 26Blessed is he who comes in the name [authority] of the Lord! Let’s do the math: 10 sins a day x 365 days = 3,650 sins per person per year; Multiplying that by 30 years per person equals 109,500 sins per person in a lifetime. Multiplying that by the 117 billion people who have lived in history = 12 quadrillion, 811 trillion, 500 billion sins. - Jim Denison 2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV) 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Matthew 27:46 (ESV) 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” John 19:30 (ESV) 30When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished [Tetelestai]," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Two little parables about the Kingdom’s inestimable value - V. 44-46 What is the point to us of the parables in verses 44-46? To get the greater treasure the man had to first give up everything he previously treasured. And for us to really get Jesus we have to do the same. But when we give our all to get Jesus, two things happen: we gain more than we could ever imagine, and we also gain what was ours back better than before. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so Divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. - Isaac Watts, Verse 4 of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross Learn to know Christ and Him crucified. Learn to sing to Him and say, “Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon Yourself what is mine and given me what is Yours. You have become what You were not so that I might become what I was not." - Martin Luther Another parable about the great ‘sorting’ to come - V. 47-50 Are you ready for the ‘great sorting’ to come after Christ returns? Hebrews 9:27-28 (ESV) 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Remember from Matthew 13 that we are called to be sowers not sorters! Catch all the people you can for Jesus – He will sort out whether they were truly saved or not. True Disciples will bring forth Scripture treasure - V. 51-52 In chapter 13 Jesus spoke of making what was a mystery in the past known now. Those who love Jesus will be able to explain how New Testament truth comes out of Old Testament truth. If you don’t take who Jesus is, what He has taught, and what He has done for you seriously, you won’t see God do much either. But if you recognize how valuable this faith is, you will give up everything to gain Jesus!…

The Certain Growth of Both True and False Christianity - 4/6/2025 Sunday Sermon 55:50

13 hari yang lalu55:50

55:50

The Certain Growth of Both True and False Christianity - Matthew 13:24-43 The different branches of Christianity are like that air-conditioner unit – great when working biblically, but troubled by holes that arise in the unit. Some sin and false teaching problems are like bigger holes that reveal problems quicker, but even little problems cause eventual trouble. In today’s parables Jesus warns us to expect this troublesome reality. Matthew 13:24-43 In Matthew 13’s parables of the Kingdom, Jesus reveals that His spiritual kingdom will grow between His first coming and His return to set up a physical kingdom. In the ‘church age’ we are now in local churches become spiritual ‘embassies’ of the coming Kingdom. Last week we studied the Parable of the Sower. The Parable of the Sower shows 4 different responses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the Parable Jesus urges us to make sure we truly understand repentance and faith as we crown Jesus the King of our life and go on to bear fruit as His subject. The Parable of the weeds in the field - V. 24-30, 36-43 So far we have learned that God is actively working in the world to bring people to Himself, and Satan is actively working to keep people lost. Here we read that Satan has another strategy to keep people lost – outward forms of religion without the true new birth in Jesus experience. Verse 38 says the Devil is the one who sows the weeds among the wheat. The Greek word for weeds/tares is zizanium. Scholars believe Jesus was referring to darnel (lolium temulentum), a poisonous weed that bears a close resemblance to wheat right up until the ears of grain appear. It is actually called “false wheat” by those who have had to deal with it. The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. - John 10:10 These verses do not mean there is not a place for church discipline – in Matthew 18 we will see that there is. But it should serve as a rebuke to the growing number of zealous Christians who spend more time ‘weed-eating’ then they spend sowing, planting, and watering wheat. Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” - Matt. 19:28 In the parable of the weeds, Jesus makes clear that outward forms of Christianity will include both true and false Christians. Make sure that Jesus really is your Lord and Savior. The Parables of the mustard seed & the leaven - V. 31-33 Some take both parables to illustrate the phenomenal growth of true Christianity; Some take both parables to illustrate the phenomenal growth of false Christianity; And many, like me, take the first to illustrate the phenomenal growth of outward forms of Christianity in churches and denominations, and the second to illustrate the pervasive inward growth of false teaching in those churches and denominations. What Jesus said in the parable of the mustard seed has become true – the few dozen people gathered around him as He gave the great commission in Matthew 28 have grown to over 2.4 billion people on earth. In the parable of the leaven, Jesus is warning about how false teaching will also be a formidable problem as outward Christianity grows. Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” - Matthew 16:6 Evangelical beliefs include those who testify of the new birth in Jesus and who believe the Bible is totally trustworthy and is our final authority. Jesus told us that false believers and false teaching would proliferate even as true Christianity grew. So don’t be surprised and don’t be Barney Fife as you interact with others. But do keep personally growing in grace and truth, and speak the truth in love to others.…

The Sower the Seed and the Soil - 3/30/2025 Sunday Sermon 47:47

The Sower the Seed and the Soil When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God -Warren Wiersbe Every one of the seeds in the pack I gave you can become the flower it was meant to be if it finds receptive soil as it is planted. In today’s passage we see Jesus tell a little story about the different responses there will be to His gospel during the church age we now find ourselves in. Matthew 13:1-23 Introducing the parables of the Kingdom - V. 1-3, 10-17 But Matthew 13 features the first occurrence of the word parable(s) in the New Testament, and the most occurrences of the word in the Bible. The word Parable(s) occurs 48 times in the Bible, 12 in this chapter alone. The 35 Parables that Jesus told in the New Testament are little stories with big meaning comparing God’s activity in the present age to everyday matters we can relate to. Jesus’ parables often paint a picture of a wrong response from His critics and a right response by His followers. In the 7 parables of the Kingdom in Matthew 13, Jesus for the first time reveals the secret (the mysterion) of the spiritual kingdom that will grow between His first coming and His return to set up a physical kingdom. The secret includes the church age we are now in where local churches become spiritual ‘embassies’ of the coming Kingdom. The word for secret is the Greek word musterion (G3466-27x); it means that which is known to the ‘initiated’ (mustos). That which was not fully revealed to O.T. saints has now been revealed to Jesus’ followers. Matthew 13:13-17 uses the Hebrew poetry device of chiastic structure, where the first and last points echo each other and so on toward the big point in the middle. Jesus explains the parable of the Sower - V. 3b-9,18-23 The 4 different responses to the gospel: The Not-now response (rejection) - V. 19 The Shallow response (belief without repentance) - V. 20-21 The double-minded response (distraction) - V. 22 The Devil got the wayside folk, the flesh took care of the rocky-ground folk, but the world chokes out the word for the thorny ground folk.” - J. Vernon McGee The fruit-bearing response (this one understands) - V. 23 The Jewish poetic device of chiastic structure in Matthew 13:13-17:…

Psalm 86 - 3/23/2025 Sunday PM Study 43:11

Psalm 86 Worksheet After the majority of Psalms being by David in Books 1 (Psalms 1-41) and 2 (Psalms 42-72), this is the _________________ Psalm by David in Book 3 (Psalm 73-89). This Psalm is very personal and touching, with _____________% of the verses being directly spoken to God. The Psalm is filled with 15 verbs in which David is asking God to act in his life. As we read the Psalm, look for a change around verse 7 in the way David approaches God. The earnest pleas of God’s man trying to do God’s ____________ V. 1-5 Notice in these first five verses David makes 8 pleas to God while citing 5 present needs and/or commitments to the Lord. Since David has just said he is poor and needy, David saying he is holy in verse 2 should not be viewed as a claim to being without sin, but “set apart” for God. David trusts God and views himself as God’s ___________________. The word for merciful in verse 3 is the Hebrew word Hanan (H2603a), which occurs 72 times in the Old Testament, 41 of which are in the wisdom books. It means to show favor, be gracious, even pity. In Philippians 4:4 Paul commands believers to “Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice!” That’s hard to accept when the circumstances of life weigh on us. I love the poetic way David asks for God’s ___________________ in this as he says “Rejoice the soul of your servant.” I have found the only way to really let that happen is to what the second part of verse 4 says, look away from our circumstances and “lift up” our souls. David ______________________ to himself in verse 5 – He knows God is good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in Hesed. David knows God will hear and act for the best not so much because of who David is but because of who God is! The earnest pledge of God’s man who wants God to be ____________________ V. 6-13 What is different in David’s approach in verse 7? He now says “I will,” pledging to continue to serve God. Verses 1-5 contained 5 things David presently does, whereas verses 6-13 have 4 things David “_______________ do.” David gushes with praise and __________________________ in God in verse s 8-10 I WILL pray to you because you are the greatest; You WILL answer because there is none like You; the nations WILL come and worship You! David ________________________ the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20 and the Great Multitude of Revelation 5:9-10 and 7:9-10! Verse 11 is a wonderful mixture of prayer and pledge. And what a _________________________ phrase – unite my heart to revere your name. O God, unite the Tabernacle’s heart to revere Your name in 100% of what we say and do! Again, David finishes the section by grounding His requests more in who God is than who he is. What group of Jews take their name from a sister word of the word Hesed? _____________________ Jews, expressing their love for God and His commands. David’s final pleas are based on the upholding of God’s _____________ V. 14-17 Like the first section (that had 8 requests in 5 verses), this last section has 5 requests in 4 verses. Verse 14 reminds us we are to pray to God to _______________________ against the counsels and actions of the wicked. Verse 15 again goes over some of the great truths about God. David is praying back what God taught ______________________ about His name in Exodus 34, and what Solomon will later use in his prayer dedicating the Temple in 2 Chr. 6. David ends by gently asking God to give him a good sign that God is still at work in his life. David isn’t asking this of God to help him believe and trust (like the unbelieving Pharisees in Matthew 12:38), but just for a little _________________________. Perhaps we could pray it this way, “God, today in some way please remind me of why I trust you and love you so much!”…

The Greatest Sign - 3/23/2025 Sunday Sermon 49:25

49:25

The Greatest Sign - Matthew 12:38-50 The Greatest Sign When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God -Warren Wiersbe Signs are important because they give us the information we need to make right choices. When the meaning of the sign is obvious, we don’t need another sign, we need to act on the information the sign conveys. - Matthew 12:38-50 The Sign that saves - V. 38-42 They asked for a sign, Jesus gave them a sermon – about the greatest sign to come – His resurrection. Matthew’s first audience was his fellow Jews, and only he repeats the Jewish idiom Jesus used, “three days and three nights.” The other gospels use the other way Jesus said it, speaking of rising on the “third day.” The accounts complement one another. It must have irked these Pharisees to hear Jesus preach that God had justified pagans from what is now Iraq and Arabia because they had repented and believed, yet they would be condemned for their unbelief! Crucifixes emphasize a perpetually suffering savior; but empty crosses emphasize our victorious risen Lord! “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me!” - Matthew 27:46 “It is finished!” (Tetelestai) - John 19:30 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. - Hebrews 7:25 The Situation that doesn’t save - V. 43-45 The key to understanding verses 43-45 is that last statement – so also will it be with this evil generation. Jesus is saying this situation adequately describes that generation in Israel who rejected Jesus. To their credit, the Jews had rejected pagan idolatry when they came back from the Babylonian captivity hundreds of years before. That idolatry had been fueled by the kind of demonic spirit that had left the house. Like the house in the story, they had put in order matters of external worship, but still had not filled the house with true internal worship of God. When the spirit of idolatry came back, it brought different demonic spirits with it: pride, unbelief, ingratitude, self-righteousness, a judgmental spirit, contempt of others, and lack of love. Their condition was worse than the days of overt idolatry. Changes you make on your outside will not help you in the long run if Jesus is not on your inside! The Sibling that sticks closest - V. 46-50 John 7:5 says that Jesus’ brothers did not believe in Him. Mark 6:3 tells us some of Jesus’ brothers’ names – James, Joses, Judas (Jude) and Simon, and also tells us he had sisters. Just before Mark tells us the same thing Matthew 12 does, it says, “When his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind” (Mark 3:21). As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” - Luke 11:27-28 Jesus is not telling us here not to take care of family priorities, but He is making clear that believing in Him and doing what He says is every believer’s highest priority. If you part of God’s family through faith in Jesus, begin regularly praying “Yes, Lord,” in every area that is clear in the Bible.…

God Desires to Save You! - 3/16/2025 Sunday Sermon 35:41

God Desires to Save You! - John 3:16-18 ... Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:4 For God – the greatest lover So loved – the greatest degree The world – the greatest company That He gave – the greatest act His only begotten Son – the greatest gift That whoever – the greatest opportunity Believes – the greatest simplicity In Him – the greatest attraction Shall not perish – the greatest promise But – the greatest difference Have – the greatest certainty Everlasting life – the greatest possession Jesus loves me this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to Him belong They are weak but He is strong Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The Bible tells me so! Now to best understand John 3:16, we need to see how it ***fits*** in the great chapter that is John 3. John 3 shows not only that God is love (1 Jn. 4:16), but also that God is holy (Psa. 99:9) and that God is good (1 Pet. 2:3). “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” - Jesus in John 3:3 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. - Romans 3:23-24 Because God is holy, He must ***judge*** our sin. Had Jesus never come to deal with our sin, 100% of us would be going to Hell because of our sin. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. Because God is holy, God must judge sin. Because God is good, Jesus was ***able*** to take our sin upon Himself. Because God is love, He offers salvation to all who ***turn*** to Him and believe. Now when someone gives you an awesome gift, what do you want to do for them in return? “He must increase, but I must decrease.” - JTB in John 3:30 Dakota’s mom said, “I have always been prepared to answer your questions – I was simply waiting for you to ask!” “Son, I am proud of what you have become. I am going to love you well.” To all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. - John 1:12…

Psalm 85 Worksheet Of the sons of Korah Praise to God for ________________________ of the people to the land V. 1-3 How many “you have” statements are in verses 1-3? There are _____________ “you have” statements of what God has done in verses 1-3. Verse 1 lets us know this Psalm comes after the time of captivity when the Jews were allowed to return to Israel. Far better for the people is to have their sins ______________________ and atoned for, reminding us of David’s words in Psalm 32. 2 Corinthians 5:21 John 3:36 Prayer to God for _______________________ among the people of the land V. 4-7 The last thing the people who returned post-exile needed to do was take God for granted, return to sinning against God and bring ______________________ judgment on themselves and their fellow Israelites. 1 John 1:9 How many prayerful questions does the Psalmist ask in verses 5-6? __________________. These are of course rhetorical questions as much for the people as for God. Any well trained Jew would know that God _______________________ mercy to them if they would confess their sin, repent and turn to God. “Various uses of the root “turn” occur throughout this Psalm. It describes the return from captivity (v. 1); God’s change of attitude (v. 3); our conversion (v. 4); our revival (v. 6); and our possible backsliding (v. 8).” -Bob Alden Proclamation of what God __________________ to do for His people V. 8-13 Notice the beautiful way he puts great images in our heads in verses 9-11.

The Upper Fixer - 3/9/2025 Sunday Sermon 49:44

49:44

The Upper Fixer When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God -Warren Wiersbe In today’s passage we will see that Jesus loves to fix “fixer uppers” who know they need Him. Instead of rejecting and blaspheming Him, we need to turn to Him as the ultimate “Upper Fixer.” Matthew 12:15-37 Jesus came to fix people, not to argue with them - V. 15-23 Verse 15 tells us that Jesus was aware of what they were thinking about Him. Jesus is also aware of what you and I are thinking, because He knows all things (John 2:25). In instructing them not to make Him known (we might add ‘yet’) Jesus was buying Himself more time to meet needs and teach His disciples what they needed to know to serve Him. The word for justice in verses 18 and 20 is krisis (G 2920). It the word used to describe the judgment (Heb. 9:27) and judgment to come (Jn. 16:8). In other words, Messiah will proclaim the need for sinners to be ready for the coming judgment (v. 18) and gives victory over judgment (v. 20). Jesus wants you if you are broken – He won’t break you any more – with Him the healing will begin! He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. - Heb. 7:25 The one who comes to Me, I will by no means cast out. - John 6:37b The Pharisees hated Jesus and blasphemed Him - V. 24-30 God was on earth, lovingly working restorative miracles right in front of them, bringing joy to the multitudes. But they had the nerve to say, “The Devil made Him do it!” In other words, they were attributing the very work of God to Satan. Their hatred of Jesus made them guilty of blasphemy. Judgment day is coming for those who continue to reject Jesus - V. 31-37 Do you see God’s grace in verse 31? God would much rather save you from your sins than judge you for your sins rooted in pride and unbelief. To understand what the unforgiveable sin is, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, we first have to understand God the Holy Spirit’s main role now. To blaspheme the Spirt is to remain an unbeliever despite all the ways the Spirit has convicted you of your sinful rebellion against God and your need to turn to Jesus for salvation. Every other sin is forgivable, but the sin of unbelief is unpardonable. Though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. - 1 Timothy 1:13-14 When sinful words come out of your mouth it shows the sinful stuff in your heart. Get it forgiven through Jesus and let Him keep changing what comes out of your mouth! So everyone who acknowledges Me before men, I also will acknowledge before My Father who is in Heaven, but whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father who is in Heaven. - Matthew 10:32-33…

Psalm 84 - 3/2/2025 Sunday PM Study 39:38

Psalm 84 Worksheet What is different in the heading of Psalm 84 from others we have read so far in Book 3 of the Psalms (Psalms 72-89)? 4 of the last 6 Psalms in Book 3 of the Psalms will be by the Sons of Korah. They had written 7 of the Psalms that appeared in Book 2. Some of them were the ______________________________ for the Temple (1 Chronicles 26:1). Psalm 84 reads like the Psalms of _______________________ we will come to (Psalms 120-134). Perhaps it too was sung on the way to worship at Jerusalem! Psalm 84 easily divides into three 4-verse stanzas marked by the Selah divisions. As I read the Psalm look for a name of God that occurs 4 times in the Psalm. Also look for another word that occurs in each of the 3 stanzas. The word for ______________________ opens Psalm 1 and closes Psalm 2, another “call-back” to those foundational Psalms! __________________________ devotion for God and His house V. 1-4 Heartcheck time: Do verses 1-2 come anywhere close to expressing the feeling you have when you think about coming to church? The Psalmist didn’t go to the Temple with a sense of “have-to,” but “____________________ to”! And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. -John 17:3 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD!” -Psalm 122:1 Perhaps in verse 3 the Psalmist is reflecting on getting to see birds flying and in their nests with their young as they walked to Jerusalem. They are saying that their home is with God! Verse 4 makes you wonder if the priests and the singers and the gatekeepers often heard _______________ exclaim how fortunate they were to get to live and minister at the Temple complex. Psalm 134, the final Psalm of Ascent. ___________________________ to worship God at His house V. 5-8 What does he have in mind by pilgrimage? Going from wherever he lived to the Feasts in Jerusalem, or any other time he was able to go “________” to worship there. Spiritually speaking, Jerusalem is “up” above every other place, so it was called going “up.” Baca means “weeping” or also balsam trees. Coming into Jerusalem from the west you’d see some balsam trees. Perhaps the Psalmist had passed through rain as he went to Jerusalem. Weeping also makes us think of the many times we are going to church after it has been a ____________________ week. Verse 7 contains some irony – the longer walk the more weak and weary you become. But when you greatly anticipate what _____________________ you when you arrive, you actually feel stronger as you get close to arriving. In this case, arrival means getting to appear before God in the place He is worshipped in a special way! But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of God. -2 Cor. 3:18 Verse 8 ends this stanza with a personal prayer for this strength that comes from God! More gushy ____________________ to God V. 9-12 Verse 9 is a corporate prayer that celebrates the _________________________, the one who will cause us to go from strength to strength, from glory to glory! Verse 10 should be all of our heart’s cry – that we would be found ministering in God’s house and for Him _______________________ than found in sinful places pleasing Satan. God gives us grace now – common grace as we live, saving grace to have faith in Jesus. One day we will be with Him in glory! But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. -1 Peter 5:10 This delightful Psalm ends the same way Psalm 2 does – Blessed is the person who _______________ in God!…

Psalm 83 - 2/23/2025 Sunday PM Study 47:49

Psalm 83 Worksheet A Psalm of Asaph Israel’s ___________________________ against her enemies V. 1-8 Asaph does not use any high language as he begins this Psalm, he goes right into asking God to act against the enemies of His people. God’s enemies are often consumed with ______________________, lifting up their heads (and shaking their fist) at God’s people. I love that phrase in verse 3, that calls Israel God’s ‘sheltered ones.’ The nations around them then (and now) often make craft counsel against them, and ‘team up’ to hurt them. I think of how often the United Nation passes evil resolutions against Israel. But God shelters His people. When a person or nation plans evil toward Israel, God takes notice and puts that nation on notice that they will be ________________________ unless they repent. Genesis 12:1-3 For the Day of the LORD upon all nations is near; As you have done (to Israel), it shall be done to you. -Obadiah 15 Beginning in verse 6, Asaph gives a kind of “Hall of ______________________” for Israel’s enemies, beginning with Edom. What person do the Edomites go back to? Gen. 36:12 1 Samuel 15:8 Esther 3:1 So Amalek also goes under Esau, You may remember that the Amalekites attacked Israel on the way to the Promised Land, and were under a pronouncement of God’s impending judgment (Exodus 17:8-15). Who was the mother of Abraham’s son Ishmael? God does give notes of _________________ in the midst of hurtful circumstances – both Isaac and Ishmael were present to bury Abraham (Genesis 25:9), and both Jacob and Esau were present to bury Isaac (Genesis 35:29). Which two listed here were the incestuous children of Lot? Genesis 19:36-38. Genesis 11:31-32 Hagrites is probably a reference to the descendants of Hagar, who lived among the Moabites (1 Chr. 5:10). That makes them an _______________________ or Aramean tribe living east of Gilead. Gebal is a city north of Tyre on the Mediterranean coast. Tyre’s King Hiram had been a friend of David and Solomon, but they and Gebal later cheered when _______________ took over Israel (Ezekiel 27; Amos 1:9). The Philistines of course were ancient enemies of Israel (think of _______________________). Israel asks God to deal with current enemies like ______________________ ones V. 9-18 Can you remember what happened to Midian? Judges 7 Who killed Sisera and what did she use? Judges 4 What happened to Jabin at the Brook Kishon? Judges 4 Who were Oreb and Zeeb, Zebah and Zalmunna? Judges 7-8 What are the kinds of judgments called for in verses 13-17? Verse 18 ends by a prayer that one way or another God will be ________________________ and that these enemies might know He is God over all the earth – either in judgment, or salvation! God is glorified when repentant sinners turn to Him in salvation; but He will also be glorified by judging unrepentant sinners.…

Making the Most of SONdays - 2/23/2025 Sunday Sermon 47:05

47:05

Making the Most of SONdays - Matthew 12:1-14 When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God -Warren Wiersbe Matthew 12:1-14 Jesus gets hassled on the way to worship - V. 1-2 If you go into your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pluck the ears with your hand, but you shall not put a sickle to your neighbor’s standing grain. - Deut. 23:25 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; but it is they that bear witness about Me. - John 5:39 The Old Testament said the Sabbath was to be a day of solemn rest. No work or gathering was to be done on that day. (Ex. 16:25-26). It was to be kept holy, or set apart for worship of God (Ex. 20:8-11). Jesus answers their criticism from Scripture - V. 3-5 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. - Romans 15:4 There was no common bread available for David and his men to eat, but there was the holy showbread that only the priests could consume. The priest recognized this was a time for an exception to the rule based on necessity, and let David and his men eat the holy bread, as long as they were not currently sexually impure (1 Samuel 21). Jesus states that the priests on duty work every Sabbath they serve. They labor by removing the showbread, preparing fire for the sacrifices, and performing all their Temple service. The point Jesus is making here is that the Law ordains labor for some on the Sabbath as a duty. Jesus makes 3 key statements about worship day - V. 6-8 1. From verse 6 we see that God is greater than the buildings He is worshipped in during our SONday gatherings! For I desire steadfast love (HESED) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. - Hosea 6:6 2. From verse 7 we see that loving God and others must be prioritized in our SONday gatherings! And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” - Mark 2:27 3. From verse 8 we learn that Jesus is also the Lord over the realm of time – He is Lord over the rhythm in our lives involving cycles of work and rest. The misuse of the Sabbath by the Pharisees should not keep us from honoring God’s seventh day rest principle. Note that God commemorated a day of rest and worship to bless mankind BEFORE He gave Israel the Law. The Sabbath was the way Israel was commanded to observe the 7th day principle; Most Christians observe it on Sundays, the day Jesus rose from the dead! Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. - Matt. 28:1 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered to break bread, Paul talked with them… - Acts 20:7a Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you are also to do. On the first day of EVERY week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I arrive. - 1 Cor. 16:1-2 Jesus makes the most of His SONday - V. 9-14 I love Jesus’ statement in verse 12 – Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” People then and far too many people now treat their animals and their possessions as more important than people God calls them to minister to. But Jesus places the highest value on seeing people get ministered to. “When it came to his own glory, Liddell would surrender it all rather than run on Sunday. But when it came to the good of children in a prison camp, he would referee on Sunday. Liddell would sacrifice a gold medal for himself in the name of truth but would bend over backward for others in the name of grace.” - Randy Alcorn, page 79, The Grace and Truth Paradox…

46:46

Psalm 82 Worksheet Another psalm of Asaph. God is the ______________________ judge over all other so called ‘gods’ V. 1-2 Verse 1 is so intriguing, and made more so in the Hebrew language, where the same Hebrew word Elohim (H430) is translated ‘God’ at the beginning of the verse and ‘gods’ at the end, with the word El (H410) in the middle translated ‘mighty.’ It is a great reminder that the ______________________ a word appears in often forces our interpretive options. Anyone want to guess what the 4 interpretive options for “gods” at the end of verse 1might be? Whatever is meant by “gods” in verse 1, the point is clear – God is the Ultimate Judge over all of those who are put forward as rulers and judges over others. In the end those ________________________ ‘judges’ will be judged by Him! God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day. -Ps. 7:11 The one true God does not side with the wicked the way these bad rulers do; no, He will judge the unrepentant wicked and unrepentant evil rulers who let the wicked prosper under their wicked rule. What God ______________________ of ‘god-like’ rulers V. 3-4 God expects ‘godly’ rulers to defend and deliver the most vulnerable among the people they rule. Who are among the most vulnerable according to verses 3-4? What are the 4 commands in verses 3-4? In the beautiful Torah of the first 5 books of the Bible, Genesis through Deuteronomy, caring for the most vulnerable among them was a consistent expectation of God’s people. The message of the prophets was often a _________________________ of leaders and people alike for failing to lead well. Isaiah 1:16-20 In Psalm 82 God is kind of sarcastically rebuking those who fashion themselves god-like leaders of others! It’s as if He says, “Some kind of ‘gods’ you are! You judge unjustly, you favor the wicked, but you don’t defend, deliver, and do justly toward those who need you to do those things the most!” God states the truth about ‘_______________________’ gods V. 5-7 In v. 5 God _____________ all godless idols, people, and the demons backing them as being truly ignorant, foolishly walking in darkness and destabilizing the earth the way Satan did in the Garden of Eden. Who do you think God is going after in verses 6-7? The true problem behind all false ‘gods’ is _______________________! Isaiah 14:12-21 Ezekiel 28:11-19 Note what verse 7 teaches – the Real God will _______________________ fall or die, but false rulers, false prophets, false gods, and false angels (demons) all will! John 10:31-39 In John 10:34 Jesus cites Psalm 82:7 as He chastises the Pharisees for their pride and acting as the religious judges of Him. They were acting like ‘gods’ and were even trying to ____________________ to death Jesus their true God. That’s what pride does – misses worship of the one true God, and sets up god substitutes that allow all manner of sin to follow. The Psalmist ends with a prayer for God to rule on earth V. 8 Verse 8 is a “a call back” to Psalm 2! Remember that Psalms 1-2 set the _____________________ for every Psalm that follows.

Choose Rest not Wrath - 2/16/2025 Sunday Sermon 51:27

Choose Rest not Wrath - Matthew 11:20-30 When the child of God Looks into the word of God And sees the Son of God They are transformed by the Spirit of God Into the image of God For the glory of God -Warren Wiersbe I brought up Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ” to point out that our image of Christ needs to be shaped by what we read of Jesus in the Bible, not in popular images of Jesus. In today’s passage we find images that remind us that the Bible speaks of Him as being like BOTH a Lamb and a Lion. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned – every one – to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him (the Messiah) the iniquity of us all.” - Isaiah 53:6 Jesus speaks stern words to those who won’t repent - V. 20-24 The people of this triangle of cities had seen Jesus work many mighty miracles, but Jesus denounced them because they did not repent and turn to Him. They wanted physical blessings, not Jesus’ rule in their life. Woe is a judgment word making us think of how unbelievers will fare on the Day of Judgment. In Matthew 23 Jesus “ROARS” woe to the hard-hearted Pharisees – but here it is used of people who had more exposure to His teaching and miracles than anyone else during His earthly ministry. His ROAR still needs to be heard by those who have often heard the gospel but refused to believe in Jesus and follow Him. The day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remains. - Jer. 47:4 (see also Ezekiel 26). Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and all surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. - Jude 1:7 Earlier in Matthew we saw that God promises degrees of reward for Christians who love and serve God now. Remember Matthew 6:20, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven.” Now we see that there will be degrees of punishment in Hell for those who never repent based on how much teaching they rejected (Revelation 20:11-15). Jesus speaks comforting words to those who come to Him - V. 25-30 God would rather save people than judge them. God has to judge unrepentant rebels, but He would rather transfer their sins to the cross and forgive them.…
