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:

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 -

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.”

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.

Goodness of God
#
Psalm 119:72
Introduction
Every portion of this chapter has been of great value and help. Confession time, sometimes as a preacher, I feel rushed, and want to move on to the next chapter, but there is something in every section for us. We should not get ahead of God, or skip forward, and miss out.
The goodness of God is on full display in this portion of the Psalm. It is mentioned more than you realize.

Warning from God
#
Mark 14:27-31
Introduction
We are in the last days of Jesus. The disciples are about to pass some of the most difficult trials in their life. Jesus has warned them, but they simply didn’t understand.
I. Offenses will come (Mark 14:27)
#
- Jesus is the perfect example! He never sinned, nor did wrong!
- Offend - 3. to cause (a person or group) to feel hurt, angry, or upset by something said or done
- Jesus is sinless, and didn’t do anything wrong, and the disciples were still offended!
i. Jesus would die
#
- Jesus had told the disciples, but they had it in their minds, He was the Messiah, and therefore would setup his reign now, they would not see the real plan.
- Jesus plan was to die, we see it clearly now!
John 1:29 — The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

The Missing Message
#
Mark 16:9-10
Introduction
We are in the last portion of Mark. We started through the Gospel of Mark in November of 2024, and we are finally coming to a close. This marks the 51^st^ message I have preached out of the Gospel of Mark. In all reality, we could have done this in a year, but because of special services, it has extended out to almost a full 2 years.

#
Matt 5:17-19
Introduction
There are really two main lines of thought on the Bible.
- Those who say, God preserved His Words in the original, and we cannot know where they are at. They are still trying to put God’s Words together. They are not complete. They are coming out with new Bibles all the time. Since the early 1900’s. I remember in the 1980’s when the NIV was the newest greatest Bible!
- Those who say we have the perfectly Preserved Words of God today!
I. Promise of Preservation (18)
#
A. God Promised
#
i. The smallest part “not one jot or tittle”
#
• Jot – the point of the letter I, or j.
• tittle – a minute part – Hebrew letters are made of little dashes
• The fact that many Bibles are missing entire verses, so many of them have words that have been added… is completely contrary to what God said!
◦ The absolute smallest part of a word will be preserved!
• The King James Bible came from the Received Text, which the early church used.
◦ It is a family of texts, which there are many of them.
• The modern Bibles are based off a family of texts which were made popular in 1881, and have been modified since them.

Faithful in the Field
#
1 Corinthians 3:5-9
I. Responsibility (5-6)
#
A. Servants (5) – servants
#
1. There is no task too small for us!
#
2. There is no prominence among servants “who then is Paul, and who is Apollos?”
#
Matt 23:1-12, 11*
B. Separate Areas (6) – planting, watering
#
1. Everyone is to be involved somehow
#
2. Some plant, Some water, Some harvest
#
C. Same Goal
#
Matthew 28:19–20 - “19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of
the world. Amen.”

God’s Answer: No
#
2 Corinthians 12
Introduction
On Wednesday nights I have been preaching on prayer. We have talked
about the Potential of Prayer, the Person of Prayer. There are many NT
verses that tell us to ask great things of God. There are many times in
my life I have asked great things of God, and God has not provided what
I asked for. Matter of fact, there are times that God has just flat out
denied my request.
