Lessons from Proverbs 11
#
Proverbs 11:1
Intro.
Much of this chapter deals with Righteousness or being upright, or just.
You will see these words used more than any other topic in this chapter.
I. Righteousness Defined (1, 3)
#
“The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of
transgressors shall destroy them.” (Proverbs 11:3)
A. Honesty - (1)
#
Bible times, they didn’t have digital scales. They would have a set of
weights, and a scale. If you wanted a lb of flour, they would put a 1lb
weight on one side, and weigh out 1lb of flour. To cheat people, their 1
lb weight, wouldn’t weigh a pound.

Majestic Work of God
#
Psalm 111
Introduction
This is a phenomenal Psalm that renders great praise to the LORD. The psalmist manages to capture the great attribute of God’s eternality, and brings to light the work of the Lord. It is quite an inspiring Psalm.
The Psalm starts out with Praise to the LORD. This is certainly appropriate for what is about to be displayed about God.

Introduction
We have a great Psalm before us. It is easy reading, easily understood, and a great encouragement to the born again believers that walk with the Lord. It should be a blessing to every single person tonight.
A lot of people have anxiety, insecurities, fears, dismay, dread or great concerns about the future. However, as a Christian, we should be anchored in the Rock. This Psalm calms our fears, insecurities, dismay, or anxiety. Verses 7 & 8 give us the key to calm our fears:

Triad of Praise
#
Psalm 113:1-9
Introduction
I’m not really a musician, but I know a little about music. Musical chords are generally made up of three notes that harmonize with each other and go together. They are called a triad. These are Psalms, and therefore songs, so I have entitled the message a “Triad of Praise” Three praises that harmonize with each other and create a good sounding harmony of praise to the Lord.

A Walk down Memory Lane

Psalm 114:1-8
Introduction
Spurgeon describes this Psalm as the highest in poetical value. As such, inanimate objects, such as the sea, river and mountains are described with living reactions to God’s presence. That is one of the reasons it is so poetical.
It is good to look back, and see what God has done. We have a great advantage, because we have so much historical evidence of what God has done for the nation of Israel, and for the church! God is alive and well. They didn’t have as much to look back too, but what they did have, they did look back to, and glorified God. We have much more reason to glorify God.

A Glimpse of God
#
Psalm 115
Introduction
We have a great Psalm before us. It seems to be straightforward. There is a lot of lessons that could be pulled from this Psalm. Each of my points could be fully explored more than we have time for in one evening.
I. A Picture of God
#
A. Glorify God (1)
#
i. Don’t lift up yourself! “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us”
#
- Many people are taught to exalt themself, so others know who they are.
- That flies in the face of God’s Word
ii. God is to be glorified “Unto thy name give glory”
#
iii. For Mercy -

Revelation 11:14-18
Introduction
You will recall the woes were introduced way back in chapter 8.
Rev. 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of
the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to sound!

Love for the Lord

Psalm 116:1-8
Introduction
There are many outlines of this Psalm. Each one of them offers a unique perspective on the Psalm. It is a Psalm that is more poetical in voice, with specifics left out. It is a very personal Psalm with over 30 personal references of I, me, my, mine. Therefore it is a heartfelt Psalm.
It is a longer Psalm, and we will not be able to cover every point that is made in this Psalm. There is a lot to explore and learn from this Psalm that will not be covered tonight. However, I think I can give you enough to help you find the rest of the information in this Psalm. This is a Psalm of thanksgiving, ending in “Praise ye the LORD.”

Prescription for Praise
#
Psalm 117:1-2
Introduction
We have a short Psalm before us, but it is not without content. The words may be few, but the content is great. The Psalm may be short, but there is no shortage of content. Praise is certainly prescribed in this Psalm. It is one of the Psalms that ends in the phrase, “Praise ye the LORD” It most definitely was sung as a part of worship. It probably was a Psalm that was sung in the opening of closing of worship, and probably sung regularly. There are three notable things about this Psalm that I want to point out.

Victorious Psalm
#
Psalm 118:1-5
Introduction
This is a victorious Psalm. Most believe David is the Psalmist, though no author is mentioned. It is a Psalm that was likely sung entering Jerusalem, singing to the Lord. It is likely written after David was established as King of Israel.
I’m really mentioning this as part of the introduction, because we have considered much of this ideas in the past, and I want to give them to you, but not focus upon them tonight.
