This sermon is a companion to four previous sermons: Blessed Be the Most High God - Genesis 14:19-20 The Most High Ruleth - Daniel 4:32 The Most High Uttereth His Voice - 2 Samuel 22:14 Sing Praise to the Name of the Lord Most High - Psalm 7:17 Psalm 91:1 reads, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The Lord our God is the most high God, the almighty and eternal Lord God of heaven and earth. As the most high God, the Lord our God does indeed involve himself in the affairs of our lives and does indeed care for His own with faithful lovingkindness. So then, how should we who are God’s own dear children respond unto Him as the most high God? Through a study within the book of the Psalms, let us consider six ways in which we are to respond unto the Lord our God, as the most high God. Outlines in Psalms

This sermon is a companion to three previous sermons: Blessed Be the Most High God - Genesis 14:19-20 The Most High Ruleth - Daniel 4:32 The Most High Uttereth His Voice - 2 Samuel 22:14 Psalm 7:17 reads, “I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.” The Lord our God, as the most high God, is indeed worthy of our worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Yes, “it is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD,” and to sing praises unto His holy name. (Psalm 92:1) He is the Most High, and He is worthy. Therefore, we should commit ourselves daily to lift up our praise with our whole heart unto the name of the LORD most high. Even so, through a study within the book of the Psalms, let us consider five aspects in which the Lord our God, as the most high God, is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving. Weekly Sermon

He does indeed involve Himself in the affairs of this world. Yea, the Lord our God as the most high God does indeed move and work in the midst of our lives. Even so, through a study within the book of the Psalms, let us consider seven characteristics of the Lord our God, the most high God, specifically in His relationship to His people and to this world.

Weekly Sermon
This sermon is a companion to six previous sermons: In the Way of This Life - Psalm 119:1 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 1) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 2) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 3) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 4) - Psalm 119:3 Away from the Way of Sins's Lies - Psalm 119:3 Psalm 119:1-5 reads, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!” In Psalm 119 we encounter the words “way” and “ways” eighteen times and the word “path” two times, indicating that the pathway of our lives is an important subject of this psalm. In fact, through these twenty references this psalm presents four categories of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of life. With the phrase “in the way,” verse 1 introduces us to the first category of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of life – the way of this life. With the phrase “in his way,” verse 3 introduces us to the second category of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of life – the way of our Lord. In direct contrast to our Lord’s way, verse 29 refers to “the way of lying” and thereby introduces us to the third category of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of life – the way of sin’s lies. Finally, with the phrase “my ways,” verse 5 introduces us to the fourth category of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of this life – the way of our lives. Already concerning the way of this life, we have learned that in this life we all must face challenges, make choices, and accept the consequences. Already concerning the way of our Lord, we have been exhorted to choose to walk after His ways. Already concerning the way of sin’s lies, we have been exhorted to choose to avoid sin’s ways. Yea, being exhorted to walk after our Lord’s ways, we have learned of our need for determination, conviction, passion, education, adoration, meditation, transformation, rejection, and continuation. Furthermore, being exhorted to avoid the way of sin’s lies, we have learned of our need for correction, separation, instruction, and abomination. Now concerning the way of our lives, we are brought to the place of personal application. It is not enough for us to be exhorted with our need. Now we must actually apply these principles to our personal walk day by day. Outlines in Psalms
“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” I. The Reasons for Discouragement & Depression (Psalm 42:3-4, 6-7, 9-10; 43:1-2) II. The Response to Discouragement & Depression (Psalm 42:1-2, 5, 8, 11; 43:3-5) Weekly Sermon
This sermon is a companion to five previous sermons: In the Way of This Life - Psalm 119:1 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 1) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 2) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 3) - Psalm 119:3 In the Ways of Our Lord (Part 4) - Psalm 119:3 Psalm 119:1-3 reads, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.” To this Psalm 119:29-30 adds, “Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.” In Psalm 119 we encounter the words “way” and “ways” eighteen times and the word “path” two times, indicating that the pathway of our lives is an important subject of this psalm. With the phrase “in the way,” Psalm 119:1 introduces us to the first category of truth concerning this subject matter – the way of this life. Thereby we learn that we all must travel along the pathway of this life, and that we all must deal with the matter of challenges, choices, and consequences in the way of this life. With the phrase “in his way,” Psalm 119:3 introduces us to the second category of truth concerning our walk along the pathway of life – the way of our Lord. Even so, the intention of this psalm is to exhort us and encourage us to choose the way of our Lord as the direction of our daily walk. Yet this psalm also employs the word “way” in relation to a third category of truth – the way of sin’s lies. Even as the psalm exhorts us and encourages us to walk faithfully in the way of our Lord, it also exhorts us and encourages us to depart away from the way of sin’s lies. Already in our study concerning the ways of our Lord, we have learned that there is a need for rejection, that is – for rejection of the ways of sinful iniquity. Even so, Psalm 119:1 declares, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.” Herein we find that those “who walk in the law of the LORD” are also those who walk “undefiled in the way.” In like manner, verse 3 declares, “They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.” Indeed, those who walk in our Lord’s ways are also those who do not involve themselves in sinful iniquity. Thus in verses 29-30 the psalmist made his request and expressed his commitment, saying, “Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.” The psalmist had made his determined choice to walk in the way of truth as revealed in the Lord’s Holy Word. In union with this choice, he also desired to be kept away from “the way of lying.” Now, in this context this phrase, “the way of lying,” is not referring to the personal practice of speaking lies. Rather, this phrase is referring to the way of sin’s lies and falsehood. Even so, in verse 101 this way is described with the phrase, “every evil way;” and in verses 104 & 128 this way is described with the phrase, “every false way.” So then, what is involved for us to depart away from the ways sin’s lies even as we walk in the ways of our Lord? |
