That, that was one of my favorite

events that we've done as a church.

33

Just the comradery the

fellowship, the good time.

34

The venue was great.

35

The food was decent for a camp.

36

Yeah.

37

I'd say so.

38

And it rained at our last one.

39

It

40

Rod: did, it rained all day

on Saturday, just about, and

41

that worked out in our favor.

42

We all stayed inside in that lobby area.

43

Yeah, we played games and all

sorts of cool things together.

44

Yeah, it was actually quite sweet.

45

It was.

46

It was, we're hoping

for no rain this year.

47

That'd be nice.

48

We'd like to get out

outside a couple trails.

49

I'd like to, I'd like to travel.

50

Yeah.

51

Happy trails.

52

Happy trails for sure.

53

Yeah.

54

Yeah.

55

Your dad went on one.

56

I wanted to go on that

same one that he went on.

57

He said it was great.

58

PJ: Yeah.

59

So there you go.

60

Men be a part of that.

61

Make sure that you're there for that.

62

Ladies, we've got spring

tea coming up in May.

63

So mark your calendars for that.

64

You're gonna wanna be a part of that.

65

We've got ladies hosting various tables.

66

The focus is gonna be on some testimonies.

67

TN testimonies is the the

function there the title of it?

68

I believe so.

69

There's some testimonies being shared.

70

In fact, pastor Rod, I think your

wife is sharing her testimony.

71

That's right at the the t in testimony.

72

She's excited about that as is.

73

Shay Zuma, she's sharing her testimony.

74

Wow.

75

Mrs.

76

Zuma's gonna be sharing,

she's sharing hers too.

77

Yeah.

78

All right.

79

Yep.

80

And then Amanda's working on some teaching

from one of the ladies historically as

81

well, so it should be a great event.

82

So lots going on.

83

Exciting things happening here.

84

We're not too far away from

move up weekend for our kiddos.

85

The school year's winding down,

summer's getting ready to ramp up.

86

That's right.

87

We've got youth with revival summer

camp happening in the summer.

88

We've got VBSI mean, it's,

there's a lot happening.

89

There's

90

Rod: a ton happening, and that's great.

91

That's a great sign for a church.

92

We've got lots of things happening.

93

We're always planning things.

94

We're ambitiously putting things

on the calendar for the good of the

95

church and for the glory of Christ.

96

So hope you guys take

advantage of those things.

97

It's a bummer to set it up and if

you're not enjoying it we really

98

set it up for you guys and we

want you to benefit from that.

99

And you have a church that you're not.

100

Really super engaged with man.

101

Take this as an encouragement

from two pastors who care about

102

the church, not just our church.

103

We'd love for you guys to get involved.

104

That's the best way to get to know people.

105

It's the best way to be known.

106

It's the best way to really take

part in what God's doing on the

107

planet through your local church.

108

So we would strongly encourage you,

get involved, sign up for the things.

109

Totally and sign up early.

110

There's always this thing where

we get signups like the last

111

week or two by the men's retreat.

112

We have to give them numbers.

113

I think two weeks before, yeah, I

forget what the number is, but that

114

means we have to have a pretty good

sense of who's coming before then.

115

So particularly fellas, we

understand work and there's other

116

things that have to be juggled.

117

We'd love for you to sign up

before, before too long and

118

PJ: honestly, y y'all it's a.

119

It's a way to bless your pastors,

your leaders, by signing up early.

120

Because it really does,

like it weighs on us.

121

Not in a sinful, anxious

way, but in a fact.

122

Sometimes though, some it can, yeah.

123

Rod: Let's just be honest.

124

PJ: It can, yeah, it can cross the line.

125

But just in general, just thinking about,

man we want this to be a good event.

126

We want there to be people there.

127

And so if you know you're going,

if you sign up early, you're

128

never gonna get us going, man, you

signed up too early for this thing.

129

Oh man.

130

Yeah that's never gonna happen.

131

So a lot of people come up and

be like, Hey, how can I serve?

132

How can I help the church?

133

I wanna be more useful.

134

Sign up early.

135

Sign up early.

136

That is a low hanging, super practical

137

Rod: fruit for you.

138

We might even start giving away like

a prize or something for the people

139

PJ: that sign up first.

140

I think that's a good thing.

141

That would be a great thing.

142

Plus, I was talking to somebody the other

day that said they really appreciate

143

the fact that you can go on, you don't

have to pay the balance all at once.

144

You can pay a.

145

Portion of it up front and then pay

the rest of it off later, so Oh yeah.

146

We don't want that to be

a reason not to sign up.

147

Now, we used to do

148

Rod: that when I was a boy at Kmart.

149

We would go do the, what's that called?

150

Layaway.

151

Layaway, yeah.

152

I forgot that.

153

We should call it that.

154

Put retreat on layaway.

155

We have a layaway tree retreat.

156

There we go.

157

There we go.

158

That was so much fun.

159

We'd go to Walmart or Kmart rather,

and we'd go to the layaway department

160

and we go and add a few more dollars

to the clothes that my mom bought or

161

whatever it was that we were doing.

162

It was such a sweet memory.

163

I don't know why this took out.

164

Yeah.

165

Or stood out.

166

But yeah, we should totally do layaway

167

PJ: retreats.

168

That's what we're doing.

169

Dune.

170

We'll do it.

171

Done.

172

Yeah.

173

Layaway.

174

Do you have a payment plan?

175

No, but we have layaway.

176

That's right.

177

Alright, let's jump in.

178

We got a lot of ground to

cover eight psalms today.

179

First one is Psalm six.

180

The title there does ascribe it to David

and says it's according to the shein.

181

So we don't know what the shein is,

but that's what it is right there.

182

Speak for yourself please.

183

Okay, fine.

184

Can you hum it for us then?

185

'cause we were wondering.

186

Rod: Oh, it's a musical term.

187

Oh, okay.

188

It's not a, it's not a, it's

189

PJ: not a tune melody.

190

No.

191

Yeah.

192

Okay.

193

According to Shein.

194

Shiman.

195

Okay, fine.

196

Yeah.

197

Psalm six though this one is is

what's known as a penitential psalm.

198

It's talking about God's hand

of discipline in David's life.

199

The author laments his situation

acknowledges that his own

200

actions or sin had contributed

to the trial that he was facing.

201

That's why it's penitent.

202

We get the word penance from that.

203

That are penitentiary.

204

Penitentiary, yeah, exactly.

205

Pen penitentiary.

206

Nevermind.

207

So David, in Psalm six is acknowledging

that even the circumstances that

208

he finds himself in, the suffering

that he's in comes from God.

209

And he's still though asking that the

Lord would deliver in verse four, turn

210

to oh Lord of me, deliver my life.

211

Save me for the sake

of your steadfast love.

212

Now, that's gonna be a theme that

we're gonna see in the Psalms.

213

David is gonna ask for God to deliver him.

214

For God's glory.

215

So not just saying I'm uncomfortable.

216

I don't want this.

217

And notice verse six, he says,

I'm weary with my moaning.

218

I have, I flood my bed with my tears.

219

I drenched my couch with my weeping,

my eye wastes because of my grief.

220

So it's not, it's like David is

comfortable here, and yet he's saying,

221

Lord, I want you to deliver me for your

sake, for the magnification of your

222

steadfast love that I might be able

to praise you for how good you are.

223

And that's an instructive for

us when we're going through a

224

difficult season to be reminded.

225

We are ultimately asking the Lord to

deliver us, not so that our pain will

226

end first and foremost, but that we

might boast in God and say, how good

227

is God, that God has led me out of

this valley that I'm walking through.

228

Psalm eight.

229

Then Psalm eight is such a good psalm and

it's been put to music multiple times.

230

Shane and Shane have a great rendition

of this one on their Psalms album

231

that came out a handful of years ago.

232

But this one is so good.

233

In fact, Derek Kidner, who's one of

the commentary writers on the Book

234

of Psalms, he writes on this one.

235

He says, this Psalm is an unsurpassed

example of what a hymn should be.

236

So Geddes, you guys take a note.

237

You guys need to listen.

238

This is an unsurpassed example of what

a hymn should be celebrating as it does

239

the glory and grace of God rehearsing

who he is and what he has done and

240

relating us and our world to him,

all with a masterly economy of words

241

in a spirit of mingled joy and awe.

242

I love that commentary from Kidner.

243

That's not easy to do as one who

speaks for a living to say things

244

well with an economy of words.

245

Is not easy to do, and David

does that here as he praises.

246

God is the creator.

247

And so there's a lot going on here

in verses three through eight.

248

This is referenced by the writer of

Hebrews in connection with Jesus.

249

The one who was made lower than the

angels, verse five for a little while,

250

and then been crowned with glory

and honor that, that is attributed

251

to Christ in the book of Hebrews.

252

There.

253

And there even may be an allusion to this.

254

Passage in one Corinthians 1527 when it

talks about the exaltation of Christ and

255

all things are put in subjection to him.

256

And so looking forward

to that time as well.

257

But Psalm eight's such a good

encouraging verse passage rather.

258

Psalm nine, pastor Rod disappeared.

259

By the way.

260

He was, he I don't think he was ruptured.

261

I, I hope not, but, psalm nine.

262

Do you wanna take Psalm nine?

263

I'm still here.

264

No, go ahead.

265

I was, I'm just telling you people to

know I'm not raptured, I'm not gone.

266

Okay, good.

267

That's good because everybody

would be really concerned because

268

that wouldn't be a problem.

269

It'd be like if I was raptured and

no one else must, nobody else was.

270

It'd be problems there.

271

Wait a minute, where do

we even start with this?

272

How do we begin to sort through this?

273

Psalm nine.

274

This one is again for David.

275

This one is according to the moth lobin.

276

It's gonna, I have questions

when we get to heaven.

277

God, what is that?

278

What is the moth lain?

279

That's the question you're gonna ask.

280

And in the shitty off of all the

questions you can look, this has

281

been burning for my whole life.

282

What is the Molo and what is the Shay ath?

283

How do I get Shay with the Psalms?

284

That's what I wanna know.

285

You're gonna be waiting a long.

286

And a long line to ask about the oath.

287

Yeah, I dunno.

288

Or the moth lobin.

289

Yeah.

290

I'm curious.

291

I wanna know, maybe I'll

just find David instead.

292

His line will be short.

293

Anyways, this psalm and Psalm 10,

probably one Psalm originally, and

294

so we're reading both of them today.

295

But Psalm nine is a praise psalm

verses one through 12, praise

296

to the Lord for his justice.

297

And then verses 13 through 20, you have a

prayer to the Lord for continued justice.

298

And we can tackle Psalm 10 too, which

is if they were written together, the

299

counterbalance to Psalm nine is the

psalmist is despairing, then in Psalm

300

10, so he is praising the Lord, but then

he's despairing of the apparent injustice

301

in Psalm 10 all around him until he

turns and puts his hope in the Lord.

302

So Psalm nine kind of establishes

that God is the source of justice.

303

And then Psalm 10 gives an example

of the fact that David at times was

304

wondering, where is justice only to

come back and remember that justice

305

does come from the Lord and that's what

we find in these two Psalms together.

306

Rod: Yeah, I love verse

10 in chapter nine.

307

Those who know your name, put

their trust in you for you.

308

Oh Lord, have not forsaken

those who seek you.

309

It's one of those interesting verses

that remind you that for someone to

310

experience the kind of trust that

they want to have, everyone wants to

311

trust in the Lord when they're going,

when they're going through a trial.

312

Really it's a matter of a allowing

yourself to go through the

313

trial and to see what God does

in the midst of those things.

314

You said earlier, even though you pray,

doesn't mean that God's gonna deliver you.

315

Right away.

316

Sometimes he keeps us in those very

trying circumstances In order for

317

us to know him and to know a full

orbed expression of who he is.

318

It's hard to know God when you're only

experiencing one kind of thing in life.

319

It's like only eating vanilla ice

cream and saying, yeah, I know

320

what all ice cream tastes like.

321

No, you need to try all

the different flavors.

322

And God is concerned that you know the

full expression of his glory, which is

323

gonna mean you're gonna have to know

God and the high seasons and the low

324

seasons and everything else in between.

325

This is why David says, and even

though I walked through the valley

326

of the shadow, I know you're with me.

327

It's because he's been there, he's done

that and he's seen God be faithful.

328

So those who know your name,

put their trust in you.

329

It's for those who have walked with God

through every single season of life.

330

So when the going gets tough,

know that's part of God's design

331

and it's meant to strengthen your

face so that you would know him.

332

PJ: Yeah, that's good.

333

That's really good.

334

Psalm 14 then, is the psalm

about total depravity?

335

A total depravity is one of

the elements of Calvin's tulip,

336

but don't hold that against it.

337

If that is of your.

338

Your predisposition.

339

It's, this is where it comes from

though this is where God says, the

340

fool says in his heart there is no God.

341

They're corrupt, they're

abominable, they do evil deeds.

342

And then verse one, there

is none who does good?

343

Paul's gonna pick this up in

Romans three verses 10 through 12.

344

He's gonna quote this as he is

indicting every single person

345

under God's green earth or on God's

green earth, under the heavens.

346

Of being guilty before God, that

there is no one who does good.

347

There's no one righteous.

348

And we even, we talked about that a

little bit on Friday at Good Friday.

349

Like we can't pay the debt because

all of us are inherently sinful.

350

And so in 14, he's

David's laying this out.

351

He's recognizing this even before,

way before polling theology, right?

352

Verses four through six, the,

he describes some of the actions

353

of the depraved in what they do.

354

And then in, in verse seven the hope

still though that's gonna come outta Zion.

355

Oh, that salvation for

Israel would come outta Zion.

356

And this is so good.

357

This is a psalm that writes better

than it knows at the time because

358

this Psalm anticipates Christ.

359

And it talks about the total depravity

of mankind and begs the question, okay,

360

so how are we gonna have deliverance?

361

And even though David wasn't.

362

Thinking about spiritual

deliverance at that time.

363

Verse seven does point to the fact

that salvation is gonna come out

364

of Zion for Israel, but not just

for Israel, but for all of us.

365

And that's salvation is gonna

be Christ and he's gonna be the

366

answer to our total depravity.

367

Rod: God so believes in this Psalm that

he basically repeated it in Psalm 53.

368

So if you read Psalm 14, maybe read

Psalm 53 at the same time and notice that

369

there's just a few subtle differences,

but by and large, it's the same Psalm.

370

PJ: Yeah.

371

Repetition.

372

Psalm 16.

373

This is a prayer that's

backed up by David's personal

374

testimony of God's faithfulness.

375

And so the prayer comes in Psalm 16,

one, preserve me, owe God for in you.

376

Do I take refuge?

377

Peter used a part of the psalm, Psalm

378

He used it apologetically

in Acts 2 25 through 28.

379

Because in.

380

Psalm 1610 says, you will not

abandon my soul to Sheol or let

381

your holy one see corruption.

382

And Peter makes the point.

383

He says, if David was talking about

himself there, then that's not true.

384

David's body was buried and his

body did corrupt his fleshly

385

body did waste away, but.

386

He must be, have been

talking about somebody else.

387

And so David is prophesying here

about Christ, the fact that the

388

Messiah won't experience corruption.

389

And that's what we celebrated

on Monday or on Sunday with the

390

resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.

391

And so this is a psalm anticipating

that and verse 11 is a great text

392

too, because it reminds us that death

is not the end for any of us now.

393

You make known to me the path of life.

394

In your presence, there's fullness

of joy and that your right

395

hand are pleasures forevermore.

396

I will often use that verse in a

funeral when I'm doing a funeral for

397

a believer to say, look, this is what

waits for all of us, and this is what

398

the, your loved one who is now no longer

here is now experiencing pleasures

399

forevermore at the right hand of God.

400

Rod: Yeah.

401

Feel free to use this text

when you bury me in Jerusalem.

402

Yes.

403

As we previously agreed upon.

404

Yes.

405

Okay.

406

So in verse 10 though, that letting

your holy one see corruption.

407

When we read that we should

read corruption as in rotting

408

of the flesh and the pit.

409

Is that what we're understanding?

410

Is that how you understand it?

411

I think that's how

412

PJ: I have understood it, and I

think that's how Peter is using it.

413

In Acts chapter two.

414

Rod: Yeah, that would make sense.

415

Yeah, there's a little subs

script here, or superscript.

416

I'm not sure which one this is, but my

ESV says instead of saying corruption,

417

you could say or see the pit.

418

Either way it it hits the same idea here.

419

That right, the flesh is not

gonna rot away in the pit.

420

Jesus saw the pit only for

three days, but he ultimately is

421

resurrected and he doesn't see a

permanent corruption because he was.

422

Vindicated.

423

He did not have sin to

die for except for ours.

424

Yep.

425

PJ: Sal 19 may be my favorite Psalm

in the entirety of the Salter.

426

Wow.

427

Really?

428

Because it wow it of all the psalms?

429

I think so.

430

Wow.

431

Yeah.

432

Okay.

433

I'm unapologetically,

I think I can say that.

434

Okay.

435

Yeah.

436

Yeah.

437

I would choose this

even over Psalm one 19.

438

I assume, yeah.

439

Yeah.

440

All that's all of them.

441

All right.

442

And the reason why is this is

all about the revelation of God.

443

And so it starts with the

general revelation of God

444

and it points to creation.

445

And that has been something that God

has used in my life so many times

446

to just remind me of his presence.

447

When I have, I think I've shared this

before, but just during seminary and

448

other occasions grown book weary of

just going, okay if all the books were

449

gone, if I didn't have the commentaries

and everything else, if I didn't

450

have my professors, my instructors

would, I know that God exists.

451

And so many times God has used the, just

the power of creation that the heavens,

452

the skies to remind me, Hey, this is why.

453

Because this is evidence of a creator.

454

This is Romans one the general revelation

of God that tells us that he's there.

455

But then it also then in the second

half of the Psalm, speaks to special

456

revelation, which is the law of

the Lord and the word of God, the

457

scriptures and how the scriptures

benefit us as human beings.

458

And the benefits that we draw from

it, that it makes us wise, that

459

it revives the soul rejoices the

heart, it enlightens the eyes.

460

And so I love Psalm 19 for what it tells

us about how God communicates to us, both

461

through general and special revelation.

462

Rod: So we know, all of us know, I

think, and this is why we do our Bible

463

reading program, is that God speaks to

us through the special revelation of the

464

scriptures, but we often don't talk a lot

about the general revelation, the Book

465

of Nature, as some people call it, that

God expects us to read and to understand.

466

Psalm 19 verses one through six.

467

Talk about the heavens, the glory

of God, and how the, they're

468

speaking, they're preaching.

469

They're proclaiming, they're declaring,

their voice is heard all over creation.

470

And this is one of the things

that Paul says in Romans is what

471

God's gonna hold against people

because they suppress the truth.

472

And unrighteousness, scripture

says, nature is speaking and.

473

Even the unbelieving man

closes his ears and says, la.

474

I'm not listening.

475

La.

476

But here's a cool thing for Christians.

477

This is where the role of general

revelation really plays a part for us.

478

Scripture is our final.

479

And first authority.

480

But scripture authoritatively

tells us, go to the Anto sluggard.

481

Pay attention to how the ant lives.

482

And take note.

483

Learn from the ant, which

is such an amazing thought.

484

Don't read the Bible.

485

It says, look at the ant,

which I think is fascinating.

486

The Bible tells us to look at

the ant and study and understand.

487

Psalm 19, of course,

we just read that here.

488

But even, psalm Isaiah 40,

lift up your eyes and see.

489

Lift up your eyes on high and see

who created these scripture calls

490

us to read the book of nature and

to make wise and judicious, I don't

491

know responses and response to that.

492

So we ought to know creation.

493

We ought to know scripture.

494

Scripture Again, final and

first authority, but we ought

495

to know creation as well.

496

Scripture speaks that creation is

speaking and we ought to listen.

497

PJ: Yep.

498

Yeah.

499

Yeah, Psalm 21.

500

Then as we get into our final Psalm of the

day, number eight of eight, I believe it

501

is Psalm 21 in this Psalm, David, thanks

God for Victory's past as he anticipates

502

and prays for Victory's future.

503

And David is looking back saying God

has given him his heart's desires,

504

verse two and giving him rich blessings

and he's then anticipating in the

505

future God continuing to do that.

506

And the foundation of that.

507

Verse seven, for the king, trust in

the Lord and through the steadfast

508

love of the Lord, the most high

that is, he shall not be moved.

509

David is both looking back and

forward and saying, God, you have

510

been so good and you will continue

to be good because of who you are.

511

Let's pray and then we will

be done with this episode.

512

God I pray that we would be those that

are attentive to what you're saying to

513

us, not just in the scriptures, but also

through the creation that's all around us.

514

And creation is so unique.

515

Depending on where we find ourselves.

516

So many of us were in California and saw

your creation on the shores of the ocean.

517

Others have been in the

presence of mountains.

518

And for us in Texas, we look at these

gigantic skies and these powerful

519

storms that roll through and we need

to be reminded of who you are, but

520

also through the creation of the.

521

The animal life around us.

522

So yes, like the writer of Proverbs

says that we can go to the ant and

523

learn discipline and learn organization

and learn planning from that.

524

And God, we pray that we would

learn from everything that you've

525

given us to learn from and not just

confine it to one area or another.

526

So thank you so much Lord, for this time

in your Word, and we just pray that it

527

would continue to bear fruit in our lives.

528

We ask in Jesus' name.

529

Amen.

530

Amen.
