Psalm 42

Battle in the Mind #

Psalm 42:1-6

Introduction

These Psalms often gives us a lot of insight into the thoughts and emotions of the Psalmist. We find they are men like us. Men who suffer hardship. Face enemies, and even within themselves struggle to remain faithful in hard times.

The reality is we are all cut out of the same cloth, sinful cloth, that has inherent flaws. We must recognize the flaws we have and not let them get the best of us, but continue battling them.

The Core Concept of Christianity #

Mark 4:21-

Introduction

Within Mark chapter 4, the phrase “kingdom of God” used three times. It is prominent in this chapter. It is used before this in Mark 1:14-15

Mark 1:14 ¶ Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Survival Guide for the Struggling Soul #

Psalm 43:1-5

Introduction

Sometimes we struggle in our christian life. There are times of discouragement, times of great victory, and times of simply plodding along. It is much like a life journey, sometimes we travel through long deep valleys, and sometimes we travel through mountaintops with majestic views. Sometimes there are unexpected turns, sometimes there are long downhill paths, and long climbs. Everyone’s life experiences are going to be different.

Trusting through Trials #

Psalm 44:1-8

Introduction

This is an excellent Psalm that helps us when we are in tough times. We often find ourself in difficult situations not even a result of our own sin. Much like the life of Job, sometimes trials come our way. The trials of our faith are to strengthen us!

1Pet. 1:6 ¶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Mark 4:35

From Foundational truths to Frightful troubles #

Mark 4:35-41

Introduction

Jesus has gone from teaching some foundational lessons to the disciples to a life lesson that would be etched in their mind. I have logged thousands of hours of classroom classes. Listening to messages, listening to lessons, messages, teaching, etc. Those are necessary, but there are some lessons in life, that are etched permanently in my mind. The lessons we have lived through usually make the deepest impression on our life, if we learn from them.

Psalm 45

Full of Joy #

Psalm 45:1

Introduction

We find that the Psalmist is overflowing with joy, blessings and praise in this Psalm. Do you remember the time you were filled with joy to overflowing? Perhaps when you got married, when a child was born? When you were just with your family, and joyful to have everyone together. Or perhaps that day you trusted in the LORD as your personal Savior! And you were full of joy to know that God loved you.

Finding Help in Trouble #

Psalm 46:1-11

Introduction

This is an incredible Psalm we have this evening. I have no doubt it will be a blessing and help to you! There are no doubt prophetic references in the Psalm, I want to get bogged down in tracking and proving those references. I want us to see the application, the help, the encouragement we can get from it.

Proverbs 4:14

Warning #

Pro 4:14-19

Intro.

We go from a great contrast of blessings and benefits of wisdom, to the great extreme wickedness and absence of wisdom. Wisdom is life, the absence of wisdom is death, and destruction. It is clearly shown, and very strong advice is given here!

A friend of mine visited the ruins of Pompeii outside of what is today Naples in Italy. The Roman City of Pompeii was destroyed in A.D. 79. The explosion of Mount Vesuvius was so sudden, the residents were killed while in their routine: men and women were at the market, the rich in their luxurious baths, slaves at toil. They died amid volcanic ash and superheated gasses. Even family pets suffered the same quick and final fate. It takes little imagination to picture the panic of that terrible day. The saddest part is that these people did not have to die. Scientists confirm what ancient Roman writers record--weeks of rumblings and shakings preceded the actual explosion. Even an ominous plume of smoke was clearly visible from the mountain days before the eruption. If only they had been able to read and respond to Vesuvius’s warning! There are clearly outlined warnings in the Word of God that countless amounts of people ignore on a regular basis!
