The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Luke 14, in which Jesus tells a parable about dinner guests at a party. We humans always seek our own exaltation; it is Jesus who humbles himself in order to save us.

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, August 31, 2025 Our Worship Series: Wounds That Heal. This Sunday's Message: Those Who Exalt Themselves Will Be HumbledFirst Lesson: Proverbs 25:6-7.Second Lesson: James 2:1-13Gospel and Sermon Text: Luke 14: 1, 7-14. Whoever Humbles Himself Will Be Exalted.Pastor Nate Kassulker

Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 14:1, 7-14) today's readings).Jesus told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table. "When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him, and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say, 'Give your place to this man,' and then you would proceed with embarrassment to take the lowest place."Jesus says this to guests present at a banquet of one of the leading Pharisees—an incisive teaching for all present who observe and hear him. Jesus witnesses the guests taking places of honor at the table and shares a parable with them about humility and the position you perceive yourself to hold. It ends with a consequence that is often disregarded: "For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." In the first reading, Sirach speaks similar words to a beloved hearer: "My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God." Jesus invites us to take up the yoke of humility, to learn from him in being humble of heart.God, help me today to accept the invitation of Jesus to be meek and humble. At the same time, give me the opportunity today to be a means of your love to someone who may not be able to respond in kind. "Blessed indeed will you be, Jesus says, "because of their inability to repay you." Pour out generously the gifts of understanding and wisdom when I struggle or resist finding the purpose in the yoke Jesus invites me to take up. Seeing and receiving it is more than I can do on my own, and I depend on you to guide me. God, come to my assistance; Lord, make haste to help me!Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.image: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banquet_in_the_House_of_Levi_by_Paolo_Veronese_-_Accademia_-_Venice_2016_(2).jpg

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings urges us to call on the powerful name of Jesus, reminding us from Philippians 2:8-11 and Proverbs 18:10 that His name is our strength and safety. When we don't know what to do, we turn to Him in faith under His kingship.

In Genesis 41, a great famine strikes the land of Egypt and surrounding countries, and God raises up Joseph to save the people during it. Famine is a time of deep hunger, and in this passage, we learn that through the Greater Joseph—our Lord Jesus Christ—we are delivered from our deepest hungers.

The Christians' Exalted Life: A Sermon on Ephesians 2:4–7 by Jason S. DeRouchie

As David hid from Saul in a cave, he cried out to God confidently for mercy. Even before God answered his prayer, David knew that the LORD would show steadfast love and faithfulness to rescue him. Though David's enemies surrounded him, the glory of God that is over all the earth gave David courage. He knew that his enemies would fall into their own trap, and so he praised God even before the danger had passed. Still today, Christians praise God in the presence of their enemies, knowing that in Jesus Christ, the victory over death cannot be taken away.   Rev. David Vandercook, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in North Little Rock, AR and Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Maumelle, AR, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 57.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitynlr.com. Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

Sunday Sermon // Pastor Ed Romero // Isaiah 52:13-53:12

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.Psalm 92,“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,3 to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.5 How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep!6 The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:7 that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish,they are doomed to destruction forever;8 but you, O Lord, are on high forever.9 For behold, your enemies, O Lord, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil.11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.14 They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,15 to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Father, I want to thank you again for this moment, and for your Word. We ask that you would show us the glory of Jesus in the Scriptures, and that you would help us to live in light of his realness. Do that, we ask, in Jesus's name, amen.“If I had only known then what I know now!” — that's a statement you've probably heard before (maybe it's one you've said yourself) — it's what we could call the clarity of hindsight.Standing where we are in the present and looking back, we see more from here than we saw then, and it's a kind of wishful thought-experiment to imagine ourselves then knowing what we know now:Think about Middle School (I've been reading a book about how weird Middle School is for kids — it's tough) — just imagine, parents, if you could go back to Middle School with the wisdom and chill you have now.Or here's one: what kind of stock would you have bought in 1997 when a company called Amazon went public at $18 a share?This is the clarity of hindsight — and if we could've had the clarity back then we have now, we would've done some things differently.And this way of thinking helps us make sense of Psalm 92. Now let me explain why. This is gonna take a minute, but bear with me …The Heavenly PerspectiveNotice in the superscript — those little words above verse 1 — Psalm 92 is called,“A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.” Now this is a little funny, right, because isn't this true of every psalm? Every psalm is a psalm, and all of them were used for worship on the Sabbath, so how is Psalm 92 special? What is this superscript saying? Well, what's unique about Psalm 92 is that the Sabbath referred to here is not talking about the weekly Sabbath, but this is about the final Sabbath that's realized in the end-time new-creation. I think Sabbath here is referring to heaven.Think back a couple years ago to the Book of Hebrews — remember that the writer of Hebrews (commenting on Psalm 95, just a few psalms over), he says “there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.” He says there's another Sabbath day yet to come, a final Sabbath — and that's what's in view here in Psalm 92.Psalm 92 is a song for the Sabbath of our future, heavenly rest! Which means this — if you use your imagination — Psalm 92 is a song that we're gonna sing in heaven looking back on our lives in this world.Psalm 92 is us saying in heaven one day “If I had only known then what I know now!” — except that it's given to us now! We get to read this today! We have a true heavenly perspective right in front of us, and it shows us at least two big things we need to know.So for the sermon this morning, I wanna tell you two big truths that we'll know with certainty in heaven, but that Psalm 92 is letting us in on today. The first is this:1. We sing with our Savior. Now I already told you that we're gonna sing this song, but now I want to be extra clear that we're gonna sing this song not with Jesus over here on the side somewhere, but we can only sing this song in union with him.And to make that case, first I want you to know that this psalm is about him. Mainly About JesusSomething that you've heard us say over and over again about the Psalms is that the Book of Psalms is mainly about the Messiah. The individual psalms were composed at different times (almost half of them by David), but the Book of Psalms as a whole was compiled for the people of God in exile. And it's that final form book we have. So we shouldn't isolate the individual psalms and focus only on the historical context of their composition, but instead we read the psalms as a single book that has been compiled and arranged in a particular way. And the driving concern of this book as a whole is that God has a future for the house of David! The house of David is the hope of God's people because it's through David's lineage that the Messiah would come. So the Psalms really are pointing to him. They're pointing to Jesus. That's why the Psalms are the most quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament — and this is the book that Jesus himself most quoted!Which is an amazing thought … we know for a fact that Jesus read the Book of Psalms. The same book that we're reading here, Psalm 92 we're looking at this morning — Jesus read it and prayed it and sang it, and he knew it was about him. Last week, we saw in Psalm 91 that Jesus knew all of the promises of Psalm 91 were to him as God's anointed one, and the same is true of Psalm 92. Psalm 92 is the celebration of the victory he experienced in Psalm 91 — which means we don't read this psalm and draw a straight line from these words to us, but instead we read Psalm 92 and first imagine Jesus reading it. In the Voice of JesusI want us to try this. Try to hear the praise and celebration of Psalm 92 in the voice of Jesus …He starts in verse 1 by saying it's good to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing his praises, to declare his steadfast love and faithfulness all day long. It's good to do that! Why? Why is it good to praise God?It's because, verse 4:“For you, O Yahweh, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”This is straightforward: It's good to praise God because we're glad in his work — what he's done! Jesus says, verse 5,“How great are your works, O Yahweh!”But what works is he talking about? God does a lot of works — there's creation and providence and salvation (and a trillion details) — what works does he have in mind here?Well verses 10–11 tell us. Psalm 92, verse 10:“But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; you have poured over me fresh oil. My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.”This is describing triumph — victory. And that's the work of God he's talking about in verses 4–5. And notice: this is God's work specified in the experience of a single person. This is first-person singular — it's “my horn,” “me,” “my enemies.” Check out that phrase to “exalt the horn” — and the idea of a “horn” is power — so to exalt the horn is to establish this power as supreme … which happens through victory. He's saying, I'm the top dog! I'm the Alpha-ox! Because all of my rivals have been subdued!This singer in Psalm 92 is saying this about himself … the singer is Jesus. And of course Jesus would say this about himself because it's true. And this metaphor of an exalted horn is used for the Messiah in other places in the Old Testament. Take 1 Samuel Chapter 2. Like Hannah Says1 Samuel 2 is Hannah's prayer. She's rejoicing in God and what he's gonna do for his people, she ends the prayer with this, 1 Samuel 2:10, “The adversaries of Yahweh shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”You hear that? Victory over adversaries and exalted horn. It's the same thing we see in Psalm 92, verse 10 — but in 1 Samuel 2 it's clear that it's about the Messiah. Hannah says this is for “God's anointed.”Now do we see anything about being anointed in Psalm 92? Yeah, look at the very next line in verse 10! Verse 10 again:“You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox [and look at this! —] you have poured over me fresh oil.”That is anointing!So you have here: (1) Exalted horn; (2) victory over enemies; (3) anointed one.Psalm 92 is about Jesus. Jesus is the one saying this. He's singing this song in the victory that God has given him.Can We Sing It, Too?And now we're reading it and we want to sing it too! We wanna sing this song, but it's not about us. How does this work? How can we sing this song about Jesus and claim it for ourselves?Here's how: It's because all the blessings of Jesus are shared with those who belong to Jesus. And this is something that you might know, or maybe you've heard it before, but honestly, if we could really grasp this, it'd change everything for us. Seriously. I mean it. Personally, I wanna get this more. That in union with Jesus, we get Jesus and all his benefits. This was one of the great recoveries of the Protestant Reformation, that by our faith in Jesus all that belongs to Jesus get applied to us: His righteousness becomes our record. His Sonship becomes our status. His peace becomes our anchor. His Spirit becomes our strength. His resurrection becomes our new life. His intercession becomes our confidence. His inheritance becomes our future.All that is his becomes ours. Every possible good thing from God in our lives comes through Jesus. We exist now only in him. So we're actually seated with him in heavenly places! We're hidden in him. Our eternal destiny is as secure as his throne. That's all true, right now …And this is glorious — it means that your worst days, your most painful moments, will not endure. They will not last. Now they might be part of your story, but they are never ‘your story' — and the only way they could be would be if Jesus ceases to be who he is. See, our hope is as alive and indestructible as Jesus is himself. Jesus shares his Psalm 92-triumph with us! His victory is our victory! So we don't sing this song apart from him, but we sing it with him, through him, united to him.By our union with him, because Jesus is blessed, we are blessed. That's what it means to be a Christian!And I just want to pause here for a minute and say: I cannot imagine a more compelling reason to be a Christian than this.If you're here and you don't believe — if you've never put your faith in Jesus — this is why you should: You get Jesus and all his benefits. He will share with you everything that is his. What will it cost you? It'll cost you your whole life, in one sense — it will cost you your life as you know it. You have to turn away from your sin. But this song becomes your song! You receive the victory of God. And one day, when we look back here, we'll know: Psalm 92 is about Jesus, and we get to sing it with our Savior!Second truth here. One day we'll know for sure …2. We age with glory.This is verse 12.In verse 12, Jesus, the singer, goes from thinking about his own experience of salvation to thinking about the reality of the righteous. The “they” in verses 13–14 is plural. Now I'm gonna read the last part again, but before I do I want to remind you of Psalm 1. There's an allusion here and I want us to catch it. Remember the very first psalm opens with a vision of the blessed man — Psalm 1, verse 3:“He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”And we, as the readers of the Psalms — as those who have faith — we're often called “the righteous” in the Psalms and we're supposed to be like this blessed man. He's the paragon of faithfulness.Now listen to Psalm 92, starting in verse 12:“The righteous flourish like the palm treeand grow like a cedar in Lebanon.13 They are planted in the house of Yahweh;they flourish in the courts of our God.14 They still bear fruit in old age;they are ever full of sap and green,15 to declare that Yahweh is upright;he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”Now here Jesus is taking about us. We have become like that blessed man — and Jesus is singing about it.And that's not a strange idea, that Jesus would sing about us, because in Zephaniah 3:17, we read that God rejoices over us with gladness and exults over us with loud singing. And so if we ever needed an idea of what that singing might be, here's one. Imagine this: Jesus is singing about you, and do you want to know what he's saying?The Older, the BetterHe's saying that you're like a tree. We're trees! We are flourishing palm trees, rooted and nourished by the presence of God. And here's what that means: the older, the better. The older, the better — now that takes a different perspective, doesn't it? That takes a heavenly perspective.Because nothing around us in this world is saying that. So many in our society despise aging and they do all they can to stop it (or to at least disguise it!) I read last week that in America, we spend around $30 billion every year on anti-aging products and services. We pretty much do everything you can imagine when it comes to aging, except honor it!But Psalm 92 says something radical: aging when you're a Christian is not decline, but flourishing. The older we get in Jesus, the more fruitful we become. Not less valuable — but more. Not less alive — but more alive because “Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:17)Do you see? Aging is a glory for those united to Jesus. The song of Psalm 92 is sung loudest by those who've walked with God the longest. And we're gonna know that with certainty one day, but wouldn't it be amazing if we really knew that now?!The stupid man cannot know this! The fool cannot understand this! Because they're fixated on the ephemeral. They only see the here and now. Our perspective, though, is different! And that's the point. The clarity of hindsight is a gift Psalm 92 gives us today.“If I only knew then what I know now” — we don't have to wait to know. What if we lived today in light of heaven? What if we built our lives in this world as if we're looking back on our lives from heaven?That's the invitation this morning. That's what we get to do! And one thing that means, for sure, is that we're gonna praise God. We can't praise him enough! Our whole lives are just Praise! Praise! Praise!“It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night!”And that's what we do now as we come to this Table. The TableWe come to this table to remember the death of Jesus for us, and to rejoice with him in his victory. The one who sings Psalm 92 is the one who triumphed at the cross and empty tomb, and he invites us to share in that triumph.

This royal psalm sets out the blessings God bestows on his King and the service the King renders to the Lord. Divine strength is at the beginning and the end of the whole, which points far beyond David to the Lord Christ, the King of kings. In concluding the psalm, we find a good desire for the saints to possess: "Be exalted, O Lord!" There is a good dependence for saints to profess: "in your own strength," at once a confession of our own weakness and an expectation of God's power. There is a good delight for saints to pursue: "we will sing and praise your power!" This is a good response to the wickedness of the world and the weakness of the church, which we should cultivate now and which will be fully realised at the coming of Christ.

Jesus Christ is the most humble man to ever walk the earth.Most people would acknowledge Jesus' humility based on His treatment of the lowest of the low in society. But there are others who have demonstrated similar humility by treating the world's outcasts with love and dignity. However Jesus humbled Himself in a way no one else ever has: Although He existed in the very form of God, He took on human flesh and lived on this earth as a mere man.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessagePhilippians 2:3-9If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.TomthePreacher.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

This trialogue continues a series of discussion exploring the latest interdisciplinary research into tantric completion stage practices such as yogas of dream, sleep, and death. Dr Tawni Tidwell is a biocultural anthropologist and doctor of traditional Tibetan medicine. Dr Michael Sheehy is the Director of Research at the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia. Dr Julian Schott is an Indologist, Tibetologist, and assistant professor at the University of Vienna. Dr Tidwell leads a deep-dive into the mysterious death practices of tantric yoga, the post-mortem state of suspended animation called tukdam, and the history of scientific investigation into these phenomena. Dr Sheehy explores the implications of tantric death practices on current scientific models of the body, Dr Schott reflects on Buddhist vs Cartesian notions of consciousness, and Dr Tidwell explains the cultural sensitivities of working with Himalayan gurus. The panel also discuss the importance of osel - clear light awareness - in completion stage practices, the relationship between nonduality and transformation, and consider new research directions on the cutting edge of contemplative neuroscience. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … 01:37 - Recap previously discussed themes 02:30 - Research in tukdam and yogic dying 05:17 - Researching dying spiritual masters 09:27 - Recruiting Tibetan monastics 10:33 - Cultural dynamics around studying tukdam 12:32 - Early phases & baseline measures 13:23 - Collaboration with the Russian Academy of Science 14:39 - What could tukdam contribute to science? 15:52 - American mortician shocked 18:40 - Biological aspects of tukdam 20:53 - Funding and reliance on Russian equipment 22:14 - What happens to the body after death 23:25 - Tukdam documentary 25:39 - Future direction for the project 27:15 - Skepticism about the project and growing body of evidence 30:45 - Siloed scientific disciples 31:22 - Catholic saints and attained mystics from other traditions 32:16 - Fundraising 33:05 - New learnings about the body and reflections on the Self 34:17 - The death process as a series of dissolutions 37:22 - Tracking heat, oxygenation, fluid movement, and visual imagery 44:27 - Buddhist vs Cartesian notions of consciousness 46:56 - Different tukdam methods across lineages 49:18 - Evan Thompson's theories of consciousness 51:24 - We can die in different ways 54:56 - Methodologically rich ways to attain wisdom 57:41 - The soteriological essence of Buddhism 01:01:35 - Human transformation and experiences of the edge 01:04:02 - Exaltation 01:05:03 - How do tantric techniques lead to tukdam? 01:09:04 - Tummo & vajra recitation to control subtle energies 01:10:41 - Dream, orgasm, and death 01:13:26 - Tukdam is counter-rational and challenges scientific reductionism 01:17:28 - The personal impact of witnessing tukdam 01:19:38 - Tantra is radical 01:20:38 - Julian quotes the Hevajra Tantra 01:22:40 - Can tukdam candidates be studied before death? 01:25:40 - Aggregate or sudden? 01:27:25 - Understanding osel, nondual awareness, and NDE 01:30:08 - Clear light sleep 01:33:04 - Challenging reductionistic paradigms 01:35:11 - The importance of nondual awareness 01:37:53 - Sentience and yeshe 01:41:44 - Exalted form in co-creation with consciousness 01:43:31 - Steve comments on scientific reductionist materialism 01:44:19 - What measurements has the project recorded? 01:47:04 - Julian's closing remarks 01:47:31 - Tawni's closing remarks 01:48:57 - Michael's closing remarks Previous panel discussion: - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep305-neuroscience-of-dream-yoga-dr-michael-sheehy-dr-tawni-tidwell-dr-julian-schott For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
