Psalm 105:1-12
Introduction
This is a long Psalm, and the second part of it is really the history of Israel. It is a great read, and I encourage you to re-read it after church, and see what is listed that God did for Israel.
However, I want to focus on the first half of the Psalm. The first half of the Psalm is the Education, whereas the second half of the Psalm is the Example. The first half Educates us on what we are to do, where the second half of the Psalm gives us a great Example of how God worked. It stands as an excellent example because it takes the history of the nation of Israel, how God gave them their land, then God sent Joseph ahead to make arrangements (17), to be there for preparation for Israel.

Failure

Mark 14:54, 66-72
Introduction
I covered this last week, but I felt impressed to re-visit this passage and cover it again. You may be aware of a well known baptist preacher who fell in sin. My friend Sam Robinson said this, “The pulpit has failed the pew, but the pew has also failed the pulpit.” It is a two way street. I’m not going to address a particular situation, but suffice it to say if you are in church for any length of time, you will find that people will fail you. Sometimes you will be very discouraged or hurt by those who fall. It will blindside you, you will never see it coming, and it will hurt. I have always said, the taller a tree grows the more damage is does when it falls. The more influence you have, the greater the disappointment that goes with it. It doesn’t matter if you know of the situation or not, there will be another in the news, and another. It is not new, and as long as Christ tarries his coming, it will not end.

A. Fictional - False Image
#
1. Virtual Image
#
- One of the greatest inherent dangers of the internet, is anyone with a
little computer knowledge, can create a website, false credentials,
and look good on a website!
- Crooks, scam artists, the identity thieves do it
- One of my problems with ‘virtual church’
- Image you portray online… what do you paint as yourself.
- People often mask who they are, and what they represent.
- This is a serious danger of meeting people online
- Police do this in sting operations, posing as someone they are not.
3. Who you really are???
#
- You know in your heart, what is in there.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than
any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
