Who Gets to be in God's Presence? - Sean Smith | Psalm 15
Passage: 1 LORD, who can dwell in your tent? Who can live on your holy mountain? 2 The one who lives blamelessly, practices righteousness, and acknowledges the truth in his heart— 3 who does not slander with his tongue, who does not harm his friend or discredit his neighbor, 4 who despises the one rejected by the LORD but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his word whatever the cost, 5 who does not lend his silver at interest or take a bribe against the innocent— the one who does these things will never be shaken. (Psalm 15:1-5 CSB17) Song: Psalm 15 (https://open.spotify.com/track/4V8GPcRLGlLkWINLbjKxlJ?si=01dc79a5b2f84168) by Poor Bishop Hooper Lyrics: Who may worship in Your sanctuary? Who may find You on Your holy hill? Who may enter in Your presence? Who may see Your glory and still stand, still stand, still stand? Still stand, still stand, still stand Who may worship in Your sanctuary? Who may find You on Your holy hill? Who may enter in Your presence? Who may see Your glory and still stand, still stand, still stand? Still stand, still stand, still stand Make us those whose lives are blameless Make us those with sincere hearts Make us those who keep their promise Even when it hurts, and hurts, and hurts, and hurts Hurts, and hurts, and hurts Prayer: O Lord, we pray that your grace may always precede and follow after us, that we may continually be given to good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

•Originally preached on Sunday, August 18, 2024 The Psalms are fundamentally a book of worship for the people of God. They take essential themes of theology and turn them into prayers and songs. But they are more than mere pieces of ancient liturgy—they are inspired Scripture! The Psalms are part of God's revelation of Himself and His salvation, and He has graciously given them to us to shape and inform our worship of Him.
Exposition of Psalm 15
A sermon from Psalm 15.
Welcome to Day 2433 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 15:1-5 Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2433 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2433 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we're delving into Psalm 15 from the New Living Translation. This short but profound Psalm, attributed to David, serves as a guide for righteous living and highlights the qualities that God desires in those who wish to dwell in His presence. As we read through Psalm 15:1-5, we'll explore the attributes of a person who lives a life pleasing to God and what it means to truly live with integrity. Let's embark on this journey together. Psalm 15:1-5 (NLT): 1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? 2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. 3 Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. 4 Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts. 5 Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever. The Question of Worthiness: David begins this Psalm with a profound question in verse 1: “Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?” This question sets the stage for the entire Psalm, prompting us to consider what it takes to be in God's presence. It's not merely about physical entry into a place of worship but about living in harmony with God's values. David's use of “sanctuary” and “holy hill” signifies a place of divine presence and fellowship. It's an invitation to reflect on our own lives and whether they align with the standards set by God. This question is timeless, urging every generation to ponder what living a life worthy of God's presence means. Living Blamelessly and Righteously: In verse 2, David provides the first part of the answer: “Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.” Here, we see the importance of integrity and righteousness. Leading a blameless life doesn't mean being perfect but striving to live in a way that reflects God's character. It involves doing what is right, not just in public but in the innermost parts of our hearts. Speaking the truth from sincere hearts highlights the value of honesty and authenticity. God desires truthfulness in our words and sincerity in our intentions. In a world where deception can often seem advantageous, maintaining integrity and truthfulness is a mark of a life pleasing to God. Rejecting Harmful Behaviors: David continues in verse 3, outlining behaviors that are contrary to a righteous life: “Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.” This verse emphasizes the importance of our speech and actions toward others. Gossip, harm, and slander are destructive behaviors that...

Program
Psalm 15 starts by asking: "Who may abide in God's Presence", enjoying His hospitality, provision, protection & fellowship (v1), and then gives 10 descriptions of the character of those able to dwell with God (v2-5a), followed by a concluding promise of blessing for those who do abide in Him (v5b). It describes how to abide in FELLOWSHIP with God; not a prescription for salvation, which is not based on our righteousness, but Christ's. (Ps 24:3-10 deals with salvation). The mention of God's Tabernacle in v1 points to the picture of the Tabernacle of Moses, which reveals that our access into God's Presence is only by the Blood of Christ. In Christ, we can now enjoy fellowship with God, by abiding in His Presence and partaking of His blessings. However, fellowship is not automatic. By its very nature, it requires the co-operation and participation of both parties. Fellowship is based on reciprocation, giving & receiving. Whereas salvation is binary, fellowship differs by degrees. The more their hearts & lives harmonise and the more each is willing to give to the other, the deeper their fellowship becomes. God invites us into fellowship, but the degree to which we abide in His Presence depends on us. The more we turn to Christ and draw near to Him, the more of His Spirit, glory & light we will receive, transforming us into His image from glory to glory, and the more our heart is united to him, in harmony with Him, the closer we can be to Him, and the greater fellowship we'll enjoy with Him. He has opened His heart to us, and it's now up to us how much we enter into His Presence - we determine how close we are to God. What hinders us? To draw near to God in fellowship requires that our we harmonise our heart & life to Him, in submission to and agreement with His will, which includes obedience (Amos 3:3). Thus, we must be willing to repent, change & align our lives with His ways, which is contrary to our flesh, so we must die to self (our independent soul-life). Thus v2-5 describe 10 aspects of the righteousness & nature of Christ, of which we partake when we are saved. The more we abide in Him, the more these qualities are manifested in our lifestyle. Thus they are the characteristics of those who are in harmony with God, walking in fellowship with Him. Also, the more we embrace these aspects of righteousness into our character & lifestyle, the more we harmonise with God, so our walk with God becomes closer. Our fellowship with God depends on our heart condition, which depends on our obedience in our life. When we act contrary to God's righteousness, we harden our heart, so our fellowship decreases, but when we obey God, our heart becomes softer (more submissive) to God, bringing us into more intimate fellowship (John 15:1-14). Thus these 10 points shows us areas, where we can increase our obedience to God, so we can abide in Him more deeply. The 1st characteristic: "He who walks uprightly" (v2a) speaks of being devoted wholly to the Lord. All the other 9 speak of how we are to express this devotion in the way we treat others, made in His image (see 1Jn 2:9-11, John 15:9-14, Mark 11:25, which teach our fellowship with God is conditional on whether we walk in love towards people). The 2nd & 3rd characteristics summarise our righteous lifestyle before men, doing what is right and speaking the truth from the heart (v2b). These are then developed in more detail. The 4th, 5th & 6th are negatives, which the righteous man refuses to do: (4) back-bite, gossip and slander others, (5) he does no harm to his neighbor, and (6) his ears are not open to gossip, he does not believe the worst of people without basis or evidence, and is not quick to take up an offence against someone (v3). (7) He is discriminating and disapproves of those given over to evil. He hates sin (Prov 8:13), but honors those to love God, and (8) he is faithful to his word, keeping his promises & commitments even when it costs (v4). He's not a greedy money-lover, but is honest and generous with his finances. He handles his money with integrity. (9) He does not charge excessive interest, which is usury (v5a). Interest can be charged to foreigners and as part of normal business transactions (Deut 23:19,20; Matt 25:27), but not to a fellow brother (Israelite) who has fallen on hard times, thus adding to his hardship. It's wrong to profit from the poor and helpless. In such cases they were not to charge any interest (Lev 25:35-38, Ex 22:25, Neh 5). (10) He does not use bribery to corrupt the judicial process (v5b, Ex 23:6-8, Deut 16:18-20, 27:25). He doesn't treat people as more important than things. Psalm 15 concludes with the promised blessing of the man who practices these things and so abides in God's Presence - He'll never be moved or shaken (v5b). Through dwelling in God's Presence, he is filled with His peace and strength, giving him stability (Psalm 1).

Who shall live in the presence of God? That is the question Psalm 15 takes up. Its answer can be summarize by the words “he who walks blamelessly.” At first glance that doesn't seem like good news. But as the Psalm is studied something absolutely beautiful emerges. In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through this study to see not only the beauty of it but also the magnificence of its promise for us as followers of Jesus.
