- Sunday, August 8, 2010 Closed Captioned Sermon
- Let us rise for the reading of
- this morning's Sermon Text recorded for us
- in Psalm 103, where we read
- the first 12 verses:
- PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL;
- ALL MY INMOST BEING, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.
- PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT
- ALL HIS BENEFITS --- HE FORGIVES
- ALL MY SINS AND HEALS ALL MY DISEASES,
- HE REDEEMS MY LIFE FROM THE PIT
- AND CROWNS ME WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION,
- WHO SATISFIES MY DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS
- SO THAT MY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE EAGLE'S.
- THE LORD WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS
- AND JUSTICE FOR ALL THE OPPRESSED.
- HE MADE KNOWN HIS WAYS TO MOSES,
- HIS DEEDS TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL: THE LORD IS
- COMPASSIONATE AND GRACIOUS, SLOW TO ANGER,
- AND ABOUNDING IN LOVE. HE WILL NOT ALWAYS ACCUSE,
- NOR WILL HE HARBOR HIS ANGER
- FOREVER; HE DOES NOT TREAT US AS OUR SINS DESERVE
- OR REPAY US ACCORDING TO OUR INIQUITIES.
- FOR AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS ARE ABOVE THE EARTH,
- SO GREAT IS HIS LOVE FOR THOSE
- WHO FEAR HIM; AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM
- THE WEST, SO FAR HAS HE REMOVED
- OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US.
- This is the Word of our Lord. Let us pray:
- This is the day that the LORD has made.
- Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Amen. [Sermon text
- taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION 1978
- used by permission of
- Zondervan Bible Publishers.
- Dear Followers
- of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ:
- I'm sure you're all familiar
- with the television game show, "Family Feud" ...
- where at the end
- of the show, they bring out two people ...
- ask them five questions that
- they need to respond to
- in order to get: 200 points!
- So, was watching one of these
- shows and an interesting question
- caught my ear:
- In the last month,
- how many of the Commandments
- have you broken?
- And, without skipping a beat,
- the older gentleman from Minnesota
- shouted out: Zero!
- [Pause]
- And he had a lotta points!
- But that wasn't the Number 1 answer.
- It's kind of interesting because his daughter said:
- Nine! [Laughter]
- And he wanted to know which one she kept.
- But the top answer was:
- One!
- What an interesting perception
- people have
- of God's Commandments.
- Interesting way that people look at God's Law
- and their living of that Law.
- And maybe it's just stubborn
- human nature, to be able to say
- that when I look at my behavior,
- in the past month, I
- have to admit that I have trampled
- all over those commands of God!
- I haven't put Him first.
- I've broken the First Commandment!
- I can go through that entire list and see that
- I have not used God's name in the way that He wants me to.
- I haven't worshiped Him.
- I haven't spent time with Him in His Word. I have
- NOT treated those people around me in the way
- that God would want me to treat them ...
- with love and dignity and respect.
- I have no respect for our government. I don't like
- people. There are people that I hate. I have
- lusted after objects of people
- in this world and made them just
- sexual beings. I have wanted
- what is not mine. I have gossiped and slandered
- the good name of other people and I have
- looked at what other people have and I
- want it. Those are my thoughts.
- Those are my actions
- in connection with God's Commandments.
- I cannot keep that Law.
- And I repeatedly and daily,
- break each and
- every one of those Commandments.
- And God has revealed to me
- that if I cannot keep that Law
- perfectly in every aspect,
- then I deserve eternal
- punishment and condemnation.
- That IS
- what I deserve
- because of my sins.
- Because of the things that I leave undone that God wants me
- to do that I think I'll have time for maybe tomorrow.
- I deserve to be punished for
- all eternity because I willingly look at what God
- wants and do exactly
- what He doesn't.
- And sometimes I don't even care ...
- because ... I want to do it!
- That is what condemns us to the fires of hell.
- But God has also revealed
- to us in His Word, what He is like.
- The LORD.
- The LORD of the Covenant. The LORD God ...
- the Savior of all people.
- He is kind ... and compassionate;
- slow to anger
- and abounding in love.
- That's the idea that people have of God
- outside of Scripture ... who think He is some
- doting parent who loves absolutely
- everything that their child does, and if there's anything
- that they don't like, it was someone else's fault.
- It was their friend. It was their
- teacher. It was the law. They can point to everything
- but their own son, but that's not what God is like.
- He doesn't sit in heaven and look at what we do and
- say: Okay, I'll just ignore that.
- He loves us more than that ...
- because He knows
- what we are to the very core.
- Our very being ... is sinful.
- In His love
- and His compassion, He sent us
- a Savior.
- He sent us His Son ...
- to save us from that pit.
- That pit of despair.
- That pit like those pits of tar
- over on LaBrae.
- Where the more you struggle and the more you try to pull,
- the more tired you become and the less you want to fight and
- the more it sucks you down, and sucks you in until you are
- completely covered and destroyed.
- That's the pit that we are in sin.
- And we cannot get out of it on our own.
- But God sent His Son ... came down out of heaven
- in love and compassion
- for us, and saved us.
- Pulled us out
- of that pit and washed off the blackness
- the darkness of that sin ... that stain
- and He made us stand as the children of God.
- Made us stand in the holiness of Christ.
- Made us stand clean and pure
- before our God who doesn't ignore our sins ...
- He forgives them!
- He removes them from us. As far as the East
- is from the West, He removes
- them from us. And we stand as His holy
- and redeemed children.
- And the Psalmist this morning reminds us to praise God
- that our sins are forgiven.
- To call on that Name of God that we know
- is the only name that saves people from
- their sin: Jesus Christ!
- To come to Him in praise. To
- lift that Name high above each and every
- other name on the face of the earth.
- Because there is the forgiveness of our sins.
- There is our joy. There is our gladness.
- There's the comfort that we have received from God.
- That OUR sins are forgiven.
- And that we come to Him with thanks
- for what He's done. We come to Him
- acknowledging who and what we are
- and not hiding from God everything that
- He sees anyway. And plead
- His mercy. And receive that forgiveness.
- And therein is created the joy
- in our life. To be able to go
- to God in prayer for everything that we need
- because He has forgiven us,
- and He loves us.
- How great is the compassion and love
- that the Father has lavished on us!
- That He knows what we need!
- That He gave us His Son! That in this life
- He continues to give us
- good things; that He continues to give us
- blessings that we hold in our hands and we
- see with our eyes that are all around us.
- We don't have a god who's up in heaven playing
- games with our lives; wanting to see
- how he can mess with our heads. How much turmoil
- he can throw in our way. OUR GOD
- loves us; and
- He blesses us! And we open
- our hands and we receive those blessings ...
- willingly! Each and every day.
- And the Psalmist reminds us to come and turn back to God in
- thanks for what He has given us.
- From the littlest of blessings
- and the greatest of gifts,
- and God gives to each of us
- exactly what we need. The blessings he gives to me
- are the blessings that are different from the ones
- He gives to each and every one of you on every day.
- But as God's children,
- you know what they are.
- When you look for them, you will see them.
- God is abundant. He is in your life
- every moment, with His care,
- and His concern. He hears the prayers
- that come through Jesus' name
- that are carried on our faith
- to His Holy heavenly throne!
- And He answers them in love
- for our good.
- And in return, we raise the praise
- of His name. We give glory
- to God for who He is, for what He's done
- and for what He continues to do for us
- today. And, in faith, we know He will
- do for us tomorrow and till the ends time
- when He ends this world and takes us to be
- with Him in heaven. And we will continue there
- to praise His Holy Name
- with all of the joy that is ours.
- For the blessings of this world, pale
- in comparison to what
- awaits us in that heavenly Kingdom.
- Where God's love wipes away our tears.
- Where God's love surrounds us
- at all times. Where there is no evil.
- Where there is no weeping and sorrow, and mourning ...
- ... there IS the Glory of God.
- The joy of God.
- And we wait and long for that day
- as we go through this life looking forward
- to that time. Praising God that He has made
- that secure for us. That we know the answers
- to the most important
- questions in the world.
- Not just to win some points
- and gain some money on a talk show.
- But the answers to the question
- that God is going to ask us, when we
- face Him in death.
- We confess that we ARE
- sinful human beings. We PLEAD
- the blood of Jesus Christ
- and HIS salvation won for US.
- And on that basis, we know that heaven
- is ours. That heaven will be
- ours for all eternity.
- And there we will live in splendor
- beyond our imagination.
- Those are the answers that you have
- because God has revealed who He is.
- He has given you
- what He is in the pages of Scripture.
- He has told you His Name.
- Praise the Name
- of the LORD.
- Amen.
- Let us rise. Now may the
- peace of God which goes beyond all of our understanding,
- keep your hearts and your minds and especially your
- lives, in the one true faith unto life everlasting. Amen.
