INTRO: WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD YOUR LIFE…

 

TAKE IF YOU COULD SEE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN

WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE IF YOU COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

AND SEE THE DAY YOU TOOK YOUR FIRST BREATH

YOU TOOK YOUR FIRST DRINK OF MOTHER’S MILK

YOU TOOK YOUR FIRST STEPS IN WALKING

YOUR FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL

YOUR FIRST REPORT CARD

YOUR FIST JOB AND PROMOTION

YOUR FIRST LOVE AND FIRST KISS

YOUR FIRST CRISIS…

 

WHAT WOULD LIKE BE LIKE IF YOU COULD YOUR DAYS COMING TO AN END.

YOUR STEPS SLOWING

YOUR HAIR GRAYING

YOUR EYE SIGHT DIMMING

YOUR REACH FAILING

YOUR LAST MOMENTS, MINUTES

YOUR LAST BREATH….

IN PS. 22 KING DAVID RECORDS WHAT KING JESUS EXPERIENCES….THE DEATH ON THE CROSS….

EXPL: THIS PSALM 22 IS APART OF A TRIAD OF PS.

PS 22 – SUFFERING SERVANT

PS 23 – SHEPHERD AS SAVIOR

PS 24 –SOVEREIGN AS KING

 

IT IS A MESSIANIC PSALM OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST

IT IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS; THE FIRST LINE WHICH IS MOST FAMILIAR; \\ “MY GOD, MY GOD…WHY HAST  THOU FORSAKEN ME...

 

HERE THEME IS THAT OF

DEATH…

SUFFERING

TORMENT

INSULTS

MOCKERY

SLANDER

DISGRACE

CHARACTER ASSIGNATION

 

1000 YRS BEFORE CHRIST WENT TO THE CROSS…CHRIST SAW AND RECORDED BY INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT …HIS DEATH.

ON THE CROSS OUR SAVIOR IS SEEN…SUFFERING

 

SPIRITUALLY v. 1-5

PERSONALLY v 6-13

PHYSICALLY v 14-18

 

IT IS A PSALM FULL OF PAIN…V.

1-21…PAIN, PERIL, BUT IN V. 22 IS THE FULLFILLMENT OF PROMISE…   BETWEEN V. 21-22 …THERE IS RESURRECTION..

 

PROP: THE LESSON IS THAT PAIN AND PERIL CAN GIVE WAY TO PRAISE.

INTER: WHAT WAS THE THEME OF DAVID’S PRAISE?

TS: AS WE LOOK AT THIS PSALM WE WILL SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PRAISE.

WHAT WAS THE THEME OF DAVID’S PRAISE?

 

*I.

THE THEME OF HIS PRAISE WAS …”HIS NAME”.

V. 22*

 

I WILL DECLARE YOUR NAME TO MY BROTHERS ;

I WILL TELL OF YOUR NAME

I WILL TESTIFY OF YOUR NAME

I WILL SHARE WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT’ YOU’VE DONE TO MY PEOPLE.

IMP.

THE TONE OF THE TEXT..IS THAT OF AN ACCOUNTING TERM…OF CENSUS…NUMBERING..AND RECOUNTING WHO GOD IS AND WHAT GOD HAS DONE…

 

GOD STILL HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER

 

TEXT POINTS IS TO MOSES….HE HEARD THE PRAYERS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL..CALLED MOSES TO GO TO PHARAOH TO LET MY PEOPLE GOD.

THE QUEST ION CAME..WHO DO I SAY SENT ME….

GOD TOLD MOSES TO TELL THEM….

*EXODUS 3:11-15 * 11 BUT MOSES SAID TO GOD, "WHO /AM/ I THAT I SHOULD GO TO PHARAOH, AND THAT I SHOULD BRING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT?"  12 SO HE SAID, "I WILL CERTAINLY BE WITH YOU.

AND THIS /SHALL BE /A SIGN TO YOU THAT I HAVE SENT YOU: WHEN YOU HAVE BROUGHT THE PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT, YOU SHALL SERVE GOD ON THIS MOUNTAIN."

13 THEN MOSES SAID TO GOD, "INDEED, /WHEN /I COME TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND SAY TO THEM, 'THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS HAS SENT ME TO YOU,' AND THEY SAY TO ME, 'WHAT /IS /HIS NAME?' WHAT SHALL I SAY TO THEM?"  14 AND GOD SAID TO MOSES, "I AM WHO I AM." AND HE SAID, "THUS YOU SHALL SAY TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, 'I AM HAS SENT ME TO YOU.' "  15 MOREOVER GOD SAID TO MOSES, "THUS YOU SHALL SAY TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: 'THE LORD GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB, HAS SENT ME TO YOU.

THIS /IS /MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS /IS /MY MEMORIAL TO ALL GENERATIONS.'

APP: AND WE GIVE GOD PRAISE PERSONALLY FOR ANSWERED PRAYER.

AND MY PERSONAL PRAISE WILL EXTEND TO MY FAMILY; MY BRO.

AND SISTERS.

AND IT’S GOOD TO ATTACH HIS NAME TO WHAT HE HAS DONE…IN PRIVATE AND IT WILL SPILL OVER IN TO THE PUBLIC ARENA…

 

PRAISE HIS NAME….

ILL: THERE ARE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX NAMES GIVEN IN THE BIBLE FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND I SUPPOSE THIS WAS BECAUSE HE WAS INFINITELY BEYOND ALL THAT ANY ONE NAME COULD EXPRESS.

ILL; SIS.

SARAH COULDN’T HOLD HER PRAISE ANY MORE…..BLANKET OR NO BLANKET PRAISE THE LORD..

 

 

 

*MP.

THE THEME OF HIS PRAISE WAS HIS GLORY V. 23.*

 

NKJ *PSALM 22:23* YOU WHO FEAR THE LORD, PRAISE HIM! ALL YOU DESCENDANTS OF JACOB, GLORIFY HIM, AND FEAR HIM, ALL YOU OFFSPRING OF ISRAEL!

NLT *PSALM 22:23* PRAISE THE LORD, ALL YOU WHO FEAR HIM! HONOR HIM, ALL YOU DESCENDANTS OF JACOB!

SHOW HIM REVERENCE, ALL YOU DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL!

ALL THE PEOPLE ARE CALLED TO GIVE HIM PRAISE AND GLORY

OT – TABERNACLE – THE MEETING PLACE OF GOD WHERE HIS GLORY DESCENDED; AND  UPON THE MT.

OF WORSHIP WHERE MOSES REQUESTED TO SEE HIS GLORY.

THE TEMPLE-SOLOMON’S DEDICATION WHEN THE SHEKINAH GLORY FILLED THE HOUSE.

NT – GLORY AT HIS BIRTH – GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHTEST

GLORY AT HIS BAPTISM – WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED AND THE SPIRIT DESCENDED..

GLORY IN HIS LIFE – THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION.

IMP.

FEAR AND REVERE…BRINGS GOD’S GLORY.

WE ARE ALL CALLED TO JOIN IN THE PRAISE WHICH THE SON WILL OFFER TO THE FATHER IN ETERNITY.

*PSALM 8:1* <TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN UPON GITTITH, A PSALM OF DAVID.>

O LORD OUR LORD, HOW EXCELLENT /IS /THY NAME IN ALL THE EARTH!

WHO HAST SET THY GLORY ABOVE THE HEAVENS. 2 OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES AND SUCKLINGS HAST THOU ORDAINED STRENGTH BECAUSE OF THINE ENEMIES, THAT THOU MIGHTEST STILL THE ENEMY AND THE AVENGER.

*PSALM 19:1* <TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM OF DAVID.>

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT SHEWETH HIS HANDYWORK.

*PSALM 24:7-10   7* LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YOU GATES!

AND BE LIFTED UP, YOU EVERLASTING DOORS!

AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN.  8 WHO /IS /THIS KING OF GLORY?

THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY, THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE.

9 LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YOU GATES!

LIFT UP, YOU EVERLASTING DOORS!

AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN.  10 WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY?
