    Walking in the Gospels - Week 26, Day 2 Do We Think We Are Better Than Others? Luke 13:1-21 & Psalm 123 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel - pastor@foresthillpca.org Forest Hill Presbyterian Church - www.foresthillpca.org Teaching on all Psalms - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTzHvgv0sYVDm4dJxoX6IpCuLlsgksxUg&si=3_k0WfrC8SI450qx The sermon explores the dangers of self-righteousness and the pervasive human tendency to compare oneself to others, challenging the assumption that suffering indicates greater sin. Drawing from Luke 13, the message emphasizes the urgent need for repentance, illustrated through parables of the unfruitful fig tree and the kingdom of God likened to a mustard seed and leaven, and highlighted by the healing of a woman on the Sabbath, which exposes the hypocrisy of prioritizing legalistic rules over compassion. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to confront their own pride and legalism, embracing God's grace and demonstrating genuine fruit of repentance in their lives, echoing the plea for mercy found in Psalm 123.

    Sermon Overview: "Merciful Steadfast Love" on Psalm 32 Theme: True joy and freedom are found in God's merciful forgiveness and steadfast love. Big Idea: God's greatest blessing is full forgiveness through Christ. This blessing moves us to confess quickly, trust deeply, and rejoice fully in His steadfast love. ________________________________________ The sermon explores the profound blessing of forgiveness, drawing from Psalm 32 to illustrate the transformative power of acknowledging sin and receiving God's grace. It emphasizes that true forgiveness, freely given through Christ, cleanses the conscience and allows for genuine joy, contrasting it with the burden of a troubled spirit and self-deceit. The message encourages believers to embrace open confession, trust in God's steadfast love, and seek His guidance, recognizing that a life surrounded by His grace is the source of lasting joy and deliverance from worldly sorrows. ________________________________________ Key Gospel Emphasis Jesus fulfilled Psalm 32 by becoming sin for us (2 Cor. 5:21). He was forsaken so we might be forgiven, covered, and counted righteous—surrounded forever by God's steadfast love.

    Sermon on Psalm 27 by Pastor Jason Van Bemmel Preached on July 27, 2025 Title: One Thing: I Believe Text: Psalm 27 Theme: True faith focuses on God's presence, holds firm in crisis, and confidently waits for His goodness. Big Idea: David's one consuming desire is to dwell with the Lord and see His beauty. This longing gives him courage in trials and leads him to call God's people to wait with confident faith, even amid suffering. Ultimately, Jesus fulfills this psalm as the One forsaken for us, so we might never be forsaken and can confidently hope in Him.

    Pastor Jason's sermon on Psalm 26 addresses the challenging prayer of David seeking vindication based on his integrity - not sinless perfection, but a genuine heart distinct from hypocrites. For believers, this prayer is possible only through Christ, our righteousness, who perfectly fulfilled it. The Psalm reveals Jesus' heart, a true worshiper's conduct, and offers conviction, comfort, and assurance, especially against slander and false accusations. David demonstrated integrity by focusing on God's steadfast love, separating from wickedness, and loving God's dwelling place through worship. Ultimately, David sought gracious redemption from God, not his own righteousness, emphasizing God's faithfulness. Christians find vindication solely in Jesus Christ. I. Pleading for Vindication (vv. 1-3) II. Living Separate from Wickedness (vv. 4-5) III. Worshiping in Pure Devotion (vv. 6-7) IV. Loving God's Dwelling Place (vv. 8-10) V. Confidently Seeking Gracious Redemption (vv. 11-12)

    The End? – Sermon on Isaiah 65:17–25 & 66:15–24 Theme: God promises to undo the curse of sin and fully restore His creation through judgment and re-creation. The story ends not in despair or destruction but in the eternal joy of the new heavens and new earth for those redeemed by Christ. Key Verse Isaiah 65:17 – "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind." Outline I. The Restoration of All Things (Isaiah 65:17–25) God promises a new heavens and new earth marked by joy, justice, and peace. No more early death, injustice, futility, or violence. God's people will enjoy the fruit of their labor and dwell securely. II. God's Final Judgment (Isaiah 66:15–17) The Lord will come in fire and fury to judge the rebellious. Judgment is just, targeting sin that has corrupted His world. None can escape His gaze or judgment. III. The Glory of God Declared to the Nations (Isaiah 66:18–21) God will gather the nations to see His glory. Fulfilled in Pentecost and the global mission of the church. Gentiles are included—even as priests and Levites. IV. The Eternal Divide (Isaiah 66:22–24) The new creation will endure before God, and all flesh shall worship Him. But those who reject God will face eternal separation and judgment. Gospel Connection: Jesus Christ bore the judgment our sin deserves so that we could be part of the new creation. In Him, God is gathering a global people to dwell in eternal joy. Pentecost marked the beginning of this ingathering. Jesus is both Judge and Redeemer—those in Him find life; those who reject Him face wrath. Application • Long for the new creation and live in hope. • Examine your

    Theme True worship is not about flattery, formality, or external show, but about humble hearts that tremble at God's Word. God will vindicate His true people and fulfill His promises in them. Key Verse Isaiah 66:2b – 'But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.' Outline I. God Cannot Be Flattered by Buildings (vv. 1–2) • God's throne is heaven; His footstool is the earth. • He seeks not great structures, but hearts that fear His Word. II. God Cannot Be Deceived by Hypocrites (vv. 3–6) • Empty sacrifices offend God. • He sees through fake worship and will judge pretenders. • But He will comfort the humble who are cast out for His sake. III. God Will Not Be Frustrated in His Purposes (vv. 7–9) • God brings new life and a new people through miraculous means. • Echoes of the church's birth at Pentecost. IV. God Will Fulfill His Promises to His People (vv. 10–14) • Joy, peace, and comfort will be poured out on God's true people. • He will nurture, heal, and rejoice over His children. Gospel Connection Jesus Christ is the One through whom God fulfills all His purposes. He is the true Temple, and those who come to Him in humility and faith are God's true people. Pentecost was the sign of God's faithfulness to birth a people by His Spirit. Application • Worship God with sincerity, not show. • Be among those who tremble at His Word. • Do not fear rejection for Christ's sake—He will vindicate His people. • Trust that God will fulfill His promises through Christ alone.
