Revelation 11 #

Revelation 11:1-2

Introduction

In chapter 10, we started a parenthetical statement, in which relevant information is added to the story.

Example:

  1. George was driving the car, and he was doing a fabulous job.

  2. George was driving the car (he was only 12 years old), and he was doing a fabulous job.

The sounding of the trumpets was introduced to us in Chapter 8, continued in chapter 9, when in chapter 10, the thought is put on pause, and relevant information is given to us in chapter 10, and partially through chapter 11. Where in the rest of chapter 11, it continues the thought of the sounding trumpets that are proclaiming judgment on the earth.

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.

Mark 11:15-18

Mark 11:12-33

Introduction

We have been going through the book of Mark on Sunday mornings, and we have gotten behind a little. So, I will continue that series tonight. We are picking up toward the end of Jesus ministry. His disciples have spent a great deal of time ministering with him. Last time, we looked at the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We are going to look at three lessons given by the Lord.

Psalm 112

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:

Psalm 113 - Triad of Praise

February 25, 2026

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.

Psalm 114 - Walk down Memory Lane

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 - #

  • The mercy of God, the saved, born again believer is not getting what he deserves.

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!

Psalm 116 - Love for the Lord

April 22, 2026

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.”
