Points of Interest - Psalm 11402 August 2015


I. Call to Worship: Psalm 63:1-4 

II. Offering passage: 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 

III. Cross-References: 
A. I Peter 2:9,10 
B. Romans 8:31-39 

IV. Scripture references: 
A. Ex. 19:5,6 – “Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” 

B. Rev. 5:9,10 – “And they *sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” 

C. Ex. 19:18,19 – “Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently. When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with thunder.” 

D. Psalm 2:12 - “Do homage to the Son that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!” 

V. Quotes: 
A. Bono - ‘Abandonment, displacement, is the stuff of my favourite psalms. The Psalter may be a font of gospel music, but for me it's in his despair that the psalmist really reveals the nature of his special relationship with God. Honesty, even to the point of anger. 'How long, Lord? Wilt thou hide thyself forever?' (Psalm 89) or 'Answer me when I call' (Psalm 5).’ 

B. Spurgeon - ‘true poetry has here reached its climax: no human mind has ever been able to equal much less to excel, the grandeur of this Psalm. God is spoken of as leading forth His people from Egypt to Canaan and causing the whole earth to be moved at His coming. Things inanimate are represented as imitating the actions of living creatures when the LORD passes by.’ 

C. John Trapp - ‘… if the giving of the law had such dreadful effects, what should the breaking thereof have?’ 

D. Matthew Henry - ‘In singing this psalm we must acknowledge God’s power and goodness in what he did for Israel, applying it to the much greater work of wonder, our redemption by Christ, and encouraging ourselves and others to trust in God in the greatest straits.’
