Power in Praising God
#
Psalm 48:1-14
Introduction
This Psalm is about praising God and thanking God specifically for His
protection. This Psalm starts out with a very emphatic statement, “Great
is the LORD”. We literally cannot even begin to understand how truly
magificent, marvelous, and awesome our God is. And if we could
understand it, it is not likely we could express it!
I. The City of Jerusalem (1-3)

A. God’s city (1)
#
1. Jerusalem a historical place
#
Matt. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered
thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and ye would not!

Life Restored
#
Mark 5:1-7, 1-20
Introduction
We have an extreme and vividly detailed account of a man living in the
Gadarenes. As we see in this account, understand this man didn’t grow up
in these conditions. You have to imagine he was someones baby. We have
no real evidence, nothing to tell us about his past, so we are
speculating.
I call this extreme, because really this is a clear picture of the
extreme way sin can destroy a life completely. This man didn’t desire to
end up in this situation. Most people don’t desire to be addicted to
drugs, end up as alcoholics, or end up in prison. It is the extreme
detrimental effects of sin. It is like a snowball that starts small, and
collects as it rolls down a hill, it gets bigger, and at some point it
is out of control, and there is no humanly way of stopping it!

God’s Expectation
#
Psalm 50:1-6
Introduction
There is no doubt, this is a Psalm of God’s Judgement. In looking at
this Psalm, you can focus all your attention on the judgement of God
that is coming, or you can look into it, and find what does God truly
expect from us.
Knowing what is expected of us from God, is far better, than just
blindly going before a judge! I’m the kind of person that likes to know
what is going on.

head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his
wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand
times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the
books were opened.

Plea of the Guilty
#
Psalm 51:1-6
Introduction
Among the 150 Psalms, there are relatively few with Titles as specific
as this one. We will see in the next 10 Psalms some of the others with
very specific Titles. These titles specify the exact circumstances to
which the Psalm is written, which clearly gives us insight about what is
going on in the life of the Psalmist.

Pitfalls of Perversity
#
Pro 5:1-6
Intro.
What God has made, Satan has imitated, cheapened, and ruined. (Peru
knockoffs) When God was done with creation, the Bible says, “And God
saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And
the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
We live in a perverse society. Perversity is regularly propagated by the
TV, internet, radio, billboards, magazines, and on the streets. A
godless society, will naturally cave to the fleshly sinful desires of
man. One of those desires is perverse pleasures of the flesh.

Troubled Woman
#
Mark 5:21-34
Introduction
As we continue to “Look unto Jesus” our theme for the year. We find a
Calmed the Storm on the sea for the disciples. We find he brought calm
to the maniac’s life who dwelt in the tombs. We find today that he
brings peace to a Troubled Woman. Most of the miracles that Jesus did
are a living parable. Someone was physically healed, but there is a
great spiritual application of salvation. Often salvation occurs
simultaneously with the actual physical healing that takes place. This
is one of those.
