#BroughtNearByChrist
“Notice how we're brought near. Right? It's not climbing our way up to the exalted God. We don't close the distance through good behavior or religious activity or the right words. We're brought near by the blood of Christ as Jesus removes our guilt that has separated us from him. And he makes peace between God and sinners through the cross. And through him, every one of us has access to the father. That privilege is what Psalm one forty eight is celebrating, something that the people of Israel had and that's now been extended to all of us through the Messiah, to every single nation. The horn raised for God's people is the horn of salvation through whom God is gathering a worldwide people who will praise himself. And so we have to praise Yahweh. I mean, we just like, we can't help it. Right? Because he's raised up a savior who brings us near.”
54s
#TrustJesusFirst
“``What receives the deepest hallelujah of your heart? Right? What outcome do you believe you need to have before you can say God is good? What created thing has become the source of your satisfaction or your security or your hope? God's gifts are good but they can't bear the weight of your worship. Maybe you need to just come near to God through the savior that he's raised up. You can't overcome your separation from God by trying harder to be a better person or just being a better worshiper or singing the right words. What what, what you need to do is trust the one who's shed his blood for you. Right? Like that broken guitar string. You gotta trust the one who reaches down to take hold of you and put things right. Turn from your sin. Place your faith in Jesus. Receive what only he can provide.”
49s
#AllAreCalledToPraise
“no category of humanity is being left out. Right? The kings must praise him, but so must the people that they govern. Princes and rulers must praise him, but so must those without titles and without influence and without authority. Men and women, old and young, are all invited into this same chorus. It's a call that places every man made distinction beneath a greater reality that all of us are creatures who live under the reign of God. Right? And the king might possess more authority than other people, but he still remains under Yahweh's authority. The ruler may receive praise from crowds, but he's still commanded to direct his own praise toward God. There's nobody that is so powerful that they don't need to bow. There's no one so insignificant that their praise doesn't matter either.”
53s
#PraiseBeyondCircumstances
“The heavens praise God because he made them. The earth praises God because he reigns over it. But those who've been brought near to God through Christ praise him because they have personal knowledge of his grace, right, of his character, of why he's praiseworthy. We get to say that the God who made the stars also saw me in my sin, and that the king who spoke and controlled the storms used that power to save me, And that the Lord whose name is exalted above the heavens gave his son to bring me near to him. It's a foundation for praise. It's much deeper than our changing circumstances. Yes. You can praise God when the test results are clear, when the job comes true or through, when the the life unfolds the way you'd hoped. But what happens if it doesn't? Well, we can still praise because God's saving promises are secured.”
37s
#PraiseNotJustOutcomes
“Do we always or actually praise God, you know, when we have those particular moments. If the traffic didn't move, right, or if the the test results weren't clear, or if you didn't receive the job, or if you you you didn't have that thing you desperately wanted happen, is Yahweh still worthy of your praise? Yes. Right? Of course. And and, again, there's nothing wrong with thanking God for the circumstances of our lives as they change and as they improve. But are we praising God because he's God, or are we praising the fact that he gave us an outcome we preferred?”
30s
#NearnessToGod
“And I I love the final description as well. May maybe even more important. It says Israel is now a people near to him. God's point in delivering his people is not just to improve their circumstances. It's to it's not to just rescue them and send them off on their own. It's to deliver them so that they belong to him and know him and worship him and live in his presence. That's the goal of salvation. Right? Nearness to God.”
35s
#JesusTookOurPlace
“We've tried to exalt ourselves, but Jesus humbles himself. We resist God's authority, but Jesus obeys the father perfectly. We exchange God's glory for created things, but Jesus displays the glory of God to the world through his life. We've given our worship to lesser things, but Jesus loved and worshiped his father with all his heart and his soul and his mind. And then he takes the place of rebellious worshipers like us. And at the cross, he bears the guilt of our idolatry and pride and self exaltation and accepts the judgment and the brokenness that our rebellion deserved.”
31s
#PraiseInAction
“And then finally, if you're a person in here who has been brought near, well, you know, simple response is to praise him. Right? But actually praise him. Right? Praise him with your mouth, but don't stop there. Praise him by trusting his word, by submitting to his reign, by thanking him for his gifts without worshiping them, and by centering your life on his glory. People near to God should be the clearest voice in creation's chorus. Right? So hallelujah. Praise Yahweh. Praise Jesus.”
71s
#PeaceFromTheGiver
“``This is one of the most remarkable conclusions in all of scripture. Nothing has changed externally. David's enemies remain right there with him. They're slandering him still. The uncertainty of everything David faced still exists. Look at me. The circumstances didn't change, but David still slept. Yeah. He still slept. Come on. There's a there's a theological just truth in the middle of that that we trust God. Why? Because peace comes not from security but from the security giver. Hebrew wording emphasizes you alone, Lord. Not military strength, not public opinion, not financial stability, not favorable circumstances, but you alone means God alone are the one that gives me joy. Amen. So what's God teaching us? Peace is not the absence of problems. Peace is the presence of God amid amid our problems. David's circumstances remain uncertain yet, again, he sleeps peacefully.”
57s
#GodAlwaysAvailable
“Come on. How many of have been having a difficult time? Raise your hand up. Be honest with me. You have been through some stuff lately. How many you have gone through it? Look in the past. Look how God has delivered. Claim that same thing today. David is doing exactly that. So what's God teaching us? God is never too busy for his children. often think that surely God cares more about missionaries than he cares about us. Right? That he hears their prayers first. Surely God hears preachers and ministers prayers first. Surely God hears more mature Christians prayers first. No. That's not what the Bible teaching. Scripture teaches that God invites every believer to come boldly before him. God is not a distant CEO running the universe from a far away office. That is not him. He is a loving father who welcomes his children. And you know why? Because God is always available.”
