Living Water #RTTBROS #Nightlight Living Water #RTTBROS #nightlight "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." - John 4:13-14 (KJV) The Living Water Water is essential for life, yet we often take it for granted. We go about our daily routines, rarely giving thought to this life-sustaining substance until we find ourselves parched and desperately thirsty. In those moments, we pass by the sugary drinks and artificial concoctions, reaching instead for pure, refreshing water. Our spiritual lives often mirror this pattern. We neglect our relationship with God, the source of living water, until we find ourselves spiritually dehydrated. In times of crisis or desperation, we suddenly remember our need for Him. We rush to prayer, seeking His intervention and comfort, only when we feel we can no longer manage on our own. The Lord speaks to this tendency in Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV): "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." How often do we forsake the true source of life, attempting to quench our spiritual thirst with worldly substitutes that ultimately leave us empty? Christ offers us living water - a constant, life-giving flow of His presence and grace. He invites us to drink deeply and regularly, not just in emergencies. When we cultivate a daily relationship with Him, we find that our spiritual thirst is continually satisfied. In John 7:37-38 (KJV), Jesus proclaims, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." This promise is not just for times of crisis but for every moment of our lives. Let us learn to abide in Christ daily, drinking deeply from His well of living water. As we do, we'll find ourselves not only satisfied but overflowing with His love and grace, able to minister to others who are spiritually parched. May we echo the psalmist's words: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God" (Psalm 42:1, KJV). Let our souls yearn for God continually, not just in times of need, so that we may never find ourselves spiritually dehydrated, but always refreshed and renewed by His living water. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.
Restore Us, O God (Psalm 80). Pastor Ron Laney, Pleasant Grove Church, Carthage, MS. www.PleasantGrove.info [Good News from The Grove]
Pastor Taylor BradburyWhen in distress—whether due to our foolishness or enemies— God provides means of coping, hoping, and praying.
This moving Psalm speaks of someone overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, who cries out for salvation and receives deliverance. Set to the tune ‘The Streets of Derry,' it tells of the distress the psalmist is facing, the weariness from calling out, and the request for God's face not to be hidden. The Psalm ultimately turns towards the hope that God will rebuild the broken people and that all will dwell in peace.You can find lyrics, scores/books, mp3s, CDs for Save Me, O God on the Celtic Psalms webpage (www.celticpsalms.com)Listen to Kiran and Celtic Psalms on TEDxThe journal is available in paperback format on Amazon!Here's the link to the paperback journal (available globally), and if you would be so kind as to leave a review on the Amazon platform in your region, that will help other readers find it!

This arrangement, set to the wordless tune ‘Caisleán an Óir,' portrays the urgency and energy with which the psalmist may have written these words. In this Psalm, we find numerous images of the various ways God can provide refuge and shelter for us when we feel we are at the “end of earth.”You can find lyrics, scores/books, mp3s, CDs for Hear My Cry, O God on the Celtic Psalms webpage (www.celticpsalms.com)Listen to Kiran and Celtic Psalms on TEDxAs you probably now know, the journal is available in paperback format on Amazon!Here's the link to the paperback journal (on amazon.com, though it is available globally), and if you would be so kind as to leave a review on the Amazon platform in your region, that will help other readers find it!For the time being, paid subscribers to Bless My Feet (Kiran's spirituality newsletter) or Psalms for the Spirit still receive the free journal ebook (180 pages) with further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.

Psalms | A Guide to the Heart of God and Man
God's Word for Today 7 Mar 2024 -Psa 108:1-13 ESV MY HEART IS STEADFAST, O GOD! This Psalm is a repeat of two previous Psalms. Verses 1-5, are the same with the Psalms 57:7-11 while verses 6-13 are the same with the Psalms 60:5-12. There are only few variations Either these two Psalms referred unto were made by David, and were applicable to the then state of his affairs. Or, the captives in Babylon composed this and applied it to their state. Seeing their captivity nearing to an end, they look and pray for their restoration to their own land. They're attributing to the prosperous days of David. The Syriac considers it as a prophecy of the vocation of the Gentiles. But, the Hebrew and others attribute it to David. The word ‘stedfast' is, in the sense of “standing erect” [Psalms 9:7], to “establish” or “strengthen” [Psalms 89:4; Psalms 10:17] And hence, it's to be erect; to be firm, steady, constant, fixed. His heart was firm and decided. He did not waver in his purpose, or lean now to one side and then to the other; he was not “swayed” or “moved” by the events happening around him. He felt conscious of standing firm in the midst of all his troubles. He confided in God. He did not doubt his justice, his goodness, his mercy; and, even in his trials, he was ready to praise him, and was “resolved” to praise him. The repetition of the word ‘fixed' in Psa 57, gives emphasis and intensity to the expression. It is designed to show in the strongest manner that his heart, his purpose, his confidence in God, did not waver in the slightest degree. My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being! 2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! 3 I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. While Israel has been fighting to the north and east, Edom and its allies have attacked from the rear (i.e. the south). Israel's forces have suffered such heavy losses it appears God has deserted them. They have been thrown into confusion, as if hit by an earthquake. They stagger like a person who is drunk (1-3). Since they are God's people, will he not reverse this disaster and lead them to victory (4-5)? 4 For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! 6 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me! Surely he will, for he has given them his promise. All the enemy-occupied areas, whether west of Jordan or east, will be liberated, for they belong to Israel by God's appointment. The southern attackers - Moab, Edom and Philistia - will be overthrown and made to serve Israel (6-8). 6 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me! 7 God has promised in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter. Why then should God's people doubt him? He has not forgotten them. He will indeed lead them against the enemy strongholds and give them victory (9-12). 9 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” 10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies. 12 Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! 13 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.

Text: Psalm 85:1-13 ESV 1 LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 2 You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah 3 You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger. 4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us! 5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations? 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. 8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. 12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. 13 Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. RESTORE US AGAIN, O GOD They were in crisis. Firstly, the psalmist rehearses about what God did in the past when they fell to their enemies. That is, God has forgiven his people and poured out his blessings on them anew (v.1-3). LORD, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 2 You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah 3 You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger. In verses 4-7, the psalmist expressed whether God won't in their present crisis do the same once more 4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us! 5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations? 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation The psalmist hopes for the spiritual fellowship that results when people are living in a right relation with their God. The steadfast love flows down from God and is met by covenant faithfulness from his people (v.8-11). 8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. And as God's people respond to God's steadfast love, there will be a new dawn of fruitfulness. The blessings of God are poured afresh (v. 12-13). 12 Yes, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. 13 Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.

Text: Psalm 80:1-19 (ESV) RESTORE US, O GOD Both Psalms, 79 and 80, are cries to God for salvation after Israel has suffered defeat and desolation. Its historical background is uncertain though. Yet, once again, the people plead with God for His decisive action that will save them from their present plight (v.1-3). Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us! 3 Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved! They are overwhelmed with grief, are they not? God seemingly has forgotten them. And, their enemies mercilessly mock, deride and destroy them (v.4-7). This pain has prompted them to ask for God's restoration. 4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure. 6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. 7 Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved! The psalmist described a metaphor for their relationship, God as the farmer and they are the vine. Like a vine, they were transplanted from Egypt into Canaan, where they grew and spread. It covered the mountains, burst its boundaries, and reached the Lebanon mountains and the Euphrates River (v.8-11). 8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. 10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. 11 It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River. But, why then does God allow the wild beasts of the forest to plunder and destroy his vineyard? Why does he allow enemy nations to crush Israel (v.12-13)? Definitely, they felt God had left them as a vineyard untilled and uncultivated. 12 Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? 13 The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. The people pray that God will rescue the suffering nation, that he will save the damaged vine and restore it to healthy growth (v.14-16). 14 Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, 15 the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself. 16 They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face! They pray that he will give back to Israel the strength it once had as his specially chosen nation (v.17-19). 17 But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself! 18 Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name! 19 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram
Text: Psalm 72:1-20 GIVE THE KING YOUR JUSTICE, O GOD! Either, this psalm is written or David's writing collected by King Solomon. According to Barnes notes, “Supposing the psalm to have been composed by David in view of the inauguration of his son and successor Solomon, this is a prayer that God would bestow on him the qualifications which would tend to secure a just, a protracted and a peaceful reign.” He began by asking God to bless him as the monarch of Israel and to bless him with wise judgments and a reign displaying God's righteousness. This is his great request to God in 1 Kings 3:5-9. Thus in v.1-4, the psalmist prays for wisdom, saying; “Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son! 2 May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! 3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! 4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor!” Should God grant his prayers, it would mean that the people of Israel, that is, the king, his government, and the people would fear the Lord forever, throughout all generations..[v.5-7] 5 May they fear you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! 6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth! 7 In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more! “The Scriptures often connect the ideas of righteous and just government and blessing upon the ecology and produce of the land. “The Psalm as a whole, shows that what we call the ‘moral realm' and the ‘realm of nature' form one indivisible whole to the Israelites. A community which lives according to righteousness enjoys not only internal harmony but also prosperity in field and flock.” (Anderson, cited in VanGemeren) Although the psalmist sees the king and his immediate rule, he alludes to the greater king. Should David have written this, he talks about his son Solomon and his Greater Son the Messiah. [v.8-11] “8 May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth! 9 May desert tribes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust! 10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts! 11 May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him! Specifically, the King's reign is of compassion and justice.[v.12-14] “ 12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. 13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. 14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight. The poor and needy are often considered to be of little worth, even nothing. However, the Messiah, the Greater King, will regard their lives as precious. May, our religion reflect this compassion. As Jesus claims, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”[Luke 4:18-19] And for the reasons above, the psalmist burst in exalting the King. [v.15-17] “15 Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day! 16 May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field! 17 May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!”
Text: Psalm 67:1-7 (ESV) 1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah 2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. 3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah 5 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 6 The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him! LET THE PEOPLES PRAISE YOU, O GOD The key expressions stated in v.1, such as, ‘be gracious', ‘bless', and ‘make his face to shine upon us' are to signify both physical and spiritual provision regardless of external circumstances. And, God's covenant faithfulness in His redemption is intended that ‘His way may be known on the earth.' In addition, His saving works among all nations be known in fulfillment to God's promise to Abraham., to bless the world through his seed, the Messiah. [see Gen 22:18] As a result of the Lord's salvation being known on the earth, the peoples of the earth will praise God, As the psalmist articulated, “3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! 4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy.”[v.3,4a] Our goal is to magnify God by making others glad when they will know the Lord. The completion of this may happen when Christ reigns physically here on earth ‘judging' the peoples with equity[uprightness] and ‘guide' the nations as the shepherd. In v.6 and 7, the psalmist affirmed the material blessings., in the sense that ‘the earth has yielded its increase.' This is corroborated by Psa 85:12, that is, “Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.” His provision and protection are two inseparable blessings. God sees to it that His own will never cease from being His people, reiterating His unconditional promise to Abraham. [Jer 31:37; Gen 12:2,3] In Psa 105:8-10, the psalmist assures by saying, “He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 8 He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, 9 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, 10 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute.” ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram Listen and FOLLOW us on our podcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-googlepcast Audible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audible Follow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio #gospellightfilipino #godswordfortoday #bookofPsalms
Please read our text: Psalm 51:1-19 (ESV) CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD David argues that a truly blessed person is one who is forgiven. [Psa 32:1-2] David sinned by killing Uriah and having an affair with Bathsheba. He was hiding it for almost two years. Eventually, he was confronted by Nathan, the prophet. He became broken and contrite in heart as expressed by his confession. What motivated David to confess and repent of his sins? The abundant mercy because of the steadfast love of God.[chesed]. See v.1,2. There is no other ground to ask for God's cleansing apart from God's mercy. Sinners like us don't deserve His forgiveness, do we? How did David recognize his sinfulness and its effect upon him? David made neither excuses nor blame others for his sins. He did not perceive of sin as merely a mistake. He confessed that his sins stick as stubborn dirt[v.2,7], his sinful nature and bents, even having been conceived in sin.[v.3,5], his accountability to God alone.[v.4], untruthful[v.6], sorrow and pain.[v.8], shame and embarassment[v.9], uncleanness[v.10] and having been separated from God because the Spirit left him.[v.12] and severely guilty [v.14] Confession is agreeing with God. There is a humble recognition of it according to God's judgments. True confession will result in significant transformations. As David expresses his desire to teach others. He said, “Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.”[v.13] Moreover, there is a new desire to sing and worship God with the right heart. “14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.[v.14-15] He now understood true worship should be coming from the heart. It's not on the outside through sacrifices but in the right motive and posture of the heart. Thus he said, 16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; 19 then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.[v.16-19] Listen and FOLLOW on Podcast ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram
The prayer of Psalm 80 is for God to restore Judah to himself in His grace. They had turned away from Him and were suffering the consequences of their actions. But, they boldly approached His throne of grace and mercy hopeful that He would restore them to Himself. That is what our loving shepherd does.
“I love you, O Lord, my strength” (Psalm 18:1). The opening phrase of Psalm 18 may suggest that this will be a nice, gentle psalm. It is anything but. It is filled with bold colours, powerful metaphors, haunting images, and violent movements. John Calvin wrote that the creation is the "theatre of God's glory." I wonder if this psalm inspired that phrase. David, having spent his life shepherding sheep, hiding in caves, and defeating lions, bears and enemy soldiers knows a thing or two about this creation. That intimate knowledge fashions his prayer. Let's take a brief look. In the first movement God is a rock, fortress, deliverer, refuge, stronghold. But wait a moment. These images of mountain strongholds are all preceded with a pronoun. David says, "The Lord is my..." I suggest that we ought to follow David's example. Find the strongest elements of God's creation to describe what God is to us. This may be a new form of prayer for some of us, but such practices tend to nourish the soul. In the second movement, David uses creation metaphors to describe how he almost dies: cords of death, torrents of destruction, snares of death. Have you ever dared to use such images to describe a situation in your life? In his distress, David cried out to God. God heard and came to the rescue. Thus, the third movement imagines the creation coming apart before God's approach: trembles, quakes, shakes, smokes, parts. Here God does not come in light, but in the darkness of judgement. It's an edge of your seat horror show. Then, suddenly, the imagery shifts. This horrifying, mountain shattering God reaches down, shepherd like, and picks up his trembling lamb from the cliff of disaster. As enemies surround him, cutting off his life, God pauses, picks him out of the fray and sets him in a safe place. Why? This is who God is. He has an eye for those who seek Him. When the psalmist declares his own righteousness, he is not suggesting that he has never sinned. No. It's another way of saying, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God" (Psalm 42:1). God comes to those who seek Him; he is found by those who look for him. Now God becomes the teacher: God is the master and the psalmist, the apprentice. Notice all that God does for and teaches to David. All this training is so that David can go out and deal with his enemies. David is not rescued to be spared the struggle. Rather, God uses David to deal with those who oppose Him. Remember, God's enemies are David's enemies. David is amazed at how thoroughly God has carried him through the storm and how thoroughly God has raised him over his enemies. Thus, he praises God. We too can pray this prayer with David. The New Testament tells the story of how Jesus Christ rescues us from Satan's dominion. And “having provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty in heaven” (Hebrews 1:3). He is the king who won the ultimate victory. The book of Acts tells stories of how his earliest followers learned to face opposition by first turning to God in prayer. When, as Christians, we face opposition, this psalm becomes our prayer. Like David we begin, “I love you, O Lord, my strength”; and we finish, “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted by God my Saviour (46). As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May your day end with rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you. May you rest in his provision as he brings night, and then new dawn.
Psalm 51 is the prayer of a soul that is aware of its depths of sin and desperate need of God's grace. These first four verses cast every hope of forgiveness on God's mercy in ‘repentant faith.'3 The lyrics remind us about the trappings of sin, instruct us what to do with our sin, and teach us how to restore fellowship with God. As we will hear, the theme of this song is not sin. The theme of this song is mercy. I have entitled this first sermon on Psalm 51, “Have Mercy on Me, O God.” We will divide the text into three sections: 1. The Story Behind the Song, 2. The Heart of God Toward Sinners, 3. The Heart of Genuine Repentance.

Choose the miraculous over the mundane “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land” Hebrews 11:29

We often say that it would be best if churches found ways to sing scripture. This week's song--'Preserve Me O God'--is exactly that. Here Matthew David Montgomery digs directly into the well-used 'blue' psalter (The Book of Psalms for Worship) for an adaptation of Psalm 16. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/worship-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/worship-review/support
1. Are you more thirsty for God than ever before? As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God (Psalm 42:1) 2. Are you more loving? Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows […]

Watch this episode on our YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/_wFoRKa41kc Sermon Notes: It's been written that when something happens to you, you have two choices of how to deal with it. You either get bitter or you get better. We all need restoration. Why?Romans 3:23 Jeremiah 30: 17Psalm 51: 12Psalm 80: 19
In the first sermon of Advent/Christmas season, Buzzy Elder preached from Psalm 80 and our need to be restored by the God of Christmas. We all seek to find our our hope and restoration in this life in various places other than God, but ultimately He is the only One who can restore our souls. There is hope for restoration in Him. In fact, that's why He came.
As we return again to the book of Psalms, guest preacher Paul Stockton shares a message from Psalm 139 titled "Search Me, O God". Drawing from David's song, Paul shows us how God's intimate knowledge of David led the psalmist to trust the Lord with his whole heart, desiring to know him in the same way and to continue to be known without pretense or secrecy.

Psalm 51:1-19 - - Aug 27, 2017
Audio Sermon for November 21, 2021
People look on the outward appearance; God looks on the heart. “Create in me a clean heart, O God” (Psalm 51:10). YouVersion Live Event Link: http://bible.com/events/48772181
Come ye thirsty, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance, every grace that brings you nigh. —Joseph Hart In the first two chapters of Zephaniah, the prophet paints a portrait of universal judgment, followed by specific woes for the wicked nations surrounding the people of God. But here in the beginning of chapter 3, we see the Lord's judgment brought to bear on His own house. The Lord's righteousness requires that He deals with our sins just as He deals with those of our enemies. Because of this, most of the music we sing this morning takes a posture of repentance. After acknowledging God's pure righteousness (Holy, Holy, Holy) and justice (Arise, O God—Psalm 82), we respond to God's Word by calling ourselves penitents and confessing our sin before Him (Not All The Blood Of Beasts). Even after being assured by Isaiah to “weep no more,” our eyes melt in tears considering our own wickedness, and the price Christ had to pay on the cross (Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed). We call out from the psalter “cleanse me from my sin” (God Be Merciful To Me—Psalm 51), and we rest in the promise that the Lord “hides and cancels all [our] sins” (Blest Is The Man—Psalm 32). Our service concludes on a hopeful note from the hymn Come Ye Sinners, Poor And Needy: though we are lost and ruined by the fall, our dear Savior stands ready to embrace us in His arms. —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Rebellious, Listen, Correction, Trust, Draw Near, Just, Fear, Wait, Anger Keystone Verses: The Lord within her is righteous; He does no injustice; every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. (Zephaniah 3:5) Bulletin Zephaniah 3:1-8 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city! 2She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord; she does not draw near to her God. 3Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning. 4Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law. 5The Lord within her is righteous; He does no injustice; every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. 6“I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate, without a man, without an inhabitant. 7I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me; you will accept correction. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.' But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt. 8“Therefore wait for Me,” declares the Lord, “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation, all My burning anger; for in the fire of My jealousy all the earth shall be consumed."
Heart Matters August 22, 2021 AM Elwyn Johnston Matthew 15:1 – 20 Verse of the Week: “Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 1. Allow God's Word to guide your life “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?” Matthew 14:3 “by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.” Matthew 14:6 “Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?” Matthew 14:12 2. Allow God to change your heart “These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.” Matthew 14:8 “this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from Me, and their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote” Isaiah 29:13 “For out of the heart come evil…. These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.” Matthew 15:19 & 20 “defile” - render unhallowed “Create in me a clean heart, O God” Psalm 51:10 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes” Ezekiel 36:26 & 27

If we invited God to search our hearts what would he find and show us? Faith hope and love? Fear doubt and anger? God already knows what is in there but do we?
Sermon on Psalm 79 titled Help US O God. It was preached by Pastor Brian Hough on July 4th 2021 at Manhattan Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Manhattan, Kansas. You can learn more at ManhattanPres.com
This psalmist is looking at the sad state of Israel's relationship with God and praying that he would restore them to himself. Today we consider our own need for spiritual renewal and we take up this psalm as a guide for our prayers to be restored. We rejoice that the prayer for a Man to deliver and restore the people to God has been answered in the coming of Jesus Christ. Christ is the shining face of God, and in his face we see God. May the Lord restore us to himself through Christ.

Cleanse & Change Me O God! (Psalm 51) Sunday, May 19, 2019
Restore Us, O God (Psalm 80) How do you approach God when you need restoration? Advent is about waiting/anticipating God's restoration. In Psalm 80, Asaph longs for the covenant blessings to be returned to Israel. He pictures God as an angry Shepherd who left his flock, in the midst of their enemies, to feed upon their tears. He longs for the Lord's restoration and favor. The Psalms teach us how to communicate with God. We learn to express our emotions The post “Restore Us, O God” (Psalm 80) appeared first on Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA).
We may be going strong, or struggling...either way, when we approach God, He can correct & guide us to an even greater point than we are at now.
