:What's happening invokes?
3
:It is Wednesday of the Passion Week.
4
:We have talked about the Passion
Week already, but we are in the
5
:midst of it, and so this would've
been the day before Passover.
6
:In the Jewish calendar,
there's not really anything.
7
:Specifically unique going on right now.
8
:The upper room is gonna
be tomorrow on Thursday.
9
:That is the day of the Passover meal.
10
:We believe that's the meal Jesus
was eating with his disciples
11
:that night that he was betrayed.
12
:And so Thursday, then Friday,
he's gonna be crucified.
13
:We have our Good Friday service
coming up at six 30 on Friday to
14
:celebrate or remember that rather.
15
:And then Saturday he's in the tomb,
which that's gonna be interesting.
16
:In fact, we'll talk about that a little
bit on Friday, which is this concept of
17
:how God can die in the reality that in
his human nature, God experienced death.
18
:But then there's the divine nature which.
19
:Couldn't die.
20
:And so how does that work
and what does that look like?
21
:Where was God, where
was Jesus on Saturday?
22
:What's he doing?
23
:What does all of this mean for us?
24
:Scripture gives us some insight
into that, although not a lot.
25
:There's questions that we
still have there, but I.
26
:And then obviously Sunday
morning, his resurrection.
27
:And that is such a day
of joyful celebration.
28
:It's gonna be that for us as we gather,
get together as the church and hit
29
:the empty tomb for John Chapter 20.
30
:And we see what kind of savior Jesus
is as we look at his his resurrection,
31
:his patience and his calling.
32
:There.
33
:We hope that you're planning to join
us and be a part of all those events.
34
:We've also got extravaganza,
which pray right now.
35
:If you'll even stop right now, what,
whatever you're doing, driving,
36
:whatever, wherever you happen to be pray.
37
:Keep your eyes open if you're behind
the wheel, but pray that God will
38
:keep the weather at bay on Saturday.
39
:Yes, it's, potentially supposed to rain
and storm and we want to do this event.
40
:There's been a lot of effort.
41
:In fact shout out to the ladies
who gathered yesterday Monday, that
42
:was, so yesterday as we record this,
but a couple days ago they gathered
43
:over at Prosper Town Hall and packed
over 7,000 eggs full of candy.
44
:Wow.
45
:And so good job, ladies, such a, an act
of servant heartedness led by somebody
46
:who doesn't like to be shouted out.
47
:So we won't mention her name at all.
48
:So yeah, we're not gonna mention.
49
:We, if we were, many might speculate
that it could be somebody like,
50
:Rod: some might suggest.
51
:Yeah.
52
:Mo no.
53
:Hold on.
54
:You see what I'm, pick up
what I'm throwing down here.
55
:Might share her name, but we're
not going to, we might speculate
56
:maybe soon you'll find out.
57
:Do you see what I'm trying to do here?
58
:Yeah.
59
:Okay.
60
:Yeah.
61
:Throw it down, bro.
62
:I don't know.
63
:This is improv.
64
:Come on.
65
:I'm missing what you're, I'm not
picking up what you're putting down.
66
:I was, I'm giving you her initials.
67
:Oh, covertly.
68
:Oh.
69
:So that no one notices.
70
:Oh, I follow what you're saying now.
71
:Maybe soon you'll find out what
I'm trying to do maybe soon.
72
:Yeah.
73
:Yeah.
74
:Yeah.
75
:No, we didn't figure it out though.
76
:That's all right.
77
:That's no, I track we'll
let them in on that.
78
:I was with
79
:PJ: you.
80
:We'll let them in on that.
81
:Yeah.
82
:Anyways, good job.
83
:You know who you are listening to
this and so do all the ladies that
84
:were there and some others may have
sniffed it out at this point too.
85
:Anyways I.
86
:Man, it's gonna be a great week,
but pray that the weather holds off.
87
:'cause if the weather doesn't hold off,
we're gonna have to we're gonna have
88
:to trust the Lord in that situation.
89
:But we're praying that the
weather stays at bay and that
90
:we can get this event done.
91
:Youth is happening tonight though.
92
:It's passion week, but we still have
true North meeting tonight and covering
93
:the next section of Matthews Gospel.
94
:That's right.
95
:And what better time to
96
:Rod: meet.
97
:We don't wanna skip church
because of a of a special week.
98
:In fact, it's hey let's meet all the more.
99
:So we are meeting tonight.
100
:I'm preaching, excuse me, God
willing, my voice holds up.
101
:I will be preaching one way or another.
102
:If I have to use Lewis as my
puppet, I'm gonna preach it.
103
:So help me God.
104
:So please send your kids.
105
:I'm just gonna keep my words
short to, to preserve that.
106
:But yeah we're going to study
Matthew chapter 16 tonight.
107
:We'd love to see your kids there.
108
:PJ: Yeah.
109
:And on that note, as you're hearing
that pray for Pastor Rod's voice.
110
:Pray for it to hold out.
111
:Your prayers are working.
112
:Yep.
113
:It, I'm making progress.
114
:It is getting better, but just pray
that tomorrow or tonight rather,
115
:he is not a setback, as he's gotta
expend his voice to preach the word.
116
:So Matthew two 15, not 16.
117
:Matthew 15, not 16.
118
:Let's jump into our daily
Bible reading text for today.
119
:We've got Psalm 56, Psalm one 20,
and then Psalm one 40 through 1 42.
120
:Seems shorter 'cause it
lists three entries there but
121
:Psalm one 40 through 1 42.
122
:That's three by itself.
123
:So we've got quite a bit
of ground to cover here.
124
:Psalm 56 is, taking place
right before David Feigns his
125
:insanity in one Samuel 21.
126
:So you'll remember back there.
127
:And in this Psalm, David admits his
fear, but also reestablishes his
128
:trust in Yahweh and twice declares
in the Psalm that he will trust.
129
:The Lord for what can man do to him.
130
:And so this is a great Psalm of
David just expressing that confident
131
:trust in God despite circumstances.
132
:And it's an encouraging psalm for you.
133
:If you're out there, you're battling,
let's say anxiety or fear, or something's
134
:going on in your life that you wish
wasn't happening in your life, and
135
:you're tempted to despair over that.
136
:A psalm like Psalm 56 is such a
good one to come back to, to say,
137
:okay, Lord, I can trust in you.
138
:David was trusting in you.
139
:I can put my trust in you.
140
:You are the same God.
141
:Today as you were for King
David before he is king at this
142
:point, but you are the same God.
143
:You haven't changed.
144
:And so if he could trust
in you, I can trust in you.
145
:I can say in God I trust,
I shall not be afraid.
146
:What can man do to me?
147
:Psalm one 20 then is one of the
Psalms of a sense, Psalms of a sense.
148
:RO give us an understanding
of the Psalms of a sense.
149
:They're the Psalms that when you
150
:Rod: sing them, it smells good.
151
:Yep.
152
:Everyone smells the ascent of them
and they're pleasant to the nostrils.
153
:Just kidding.
154
:These are the songs that.
155
:The Israelites would sing as the
ascend up to Mount Jerusalem.
156
:And the ascension, of course, is
because it's at a higher elevation.
157
:And so you always ascend whether you're
going north, south, east or west or
158
:ascending up the mountain to Mount Zion.
159
:And so they would sing these pilgrim
songs as they prepare to worship usually
160
:for one of the three times of the
year where they're called to worship.
161
:And so they would sing these
songs as a reminder of what their.
162
:Hearts were to do and how
they were to think about God
163
:as they prepare themselves.
164
:So this is really cool because I
think maybe there are some songs
165
:of a sense that you guys could
pop in on your MP three player.
166
:As you go to church, you get
your heart ready for worship.
167
:And granted, there's a way
that we do that all week.
168
:I guess we're always
worshiping in that sense.
169
:We don't have to go to
a temple to worship.
170
:We are the Temple of God, but I like the
idea of saying, let's be intentional to
171
:prepare our hearts to worship King Jesus.
172
:And this is one of the ways that they did
that in the, under the Old Testament pop.
173
:In your MP
174
:PJ: three, I'm just thinking like
the Zoom Windows media player.
175
:What would you say now?
176
:Pop what?
177
:Pop on your iPhone songs that you can
stream on Spotify or Apple Music or, yeah.
178
:Okay.
179
:Young people.
180
:Bunin, pop it in your MP three player.
181
:Make sure that you plug your
co your ox cord into your tape
182
:Rod: deck.
183
:Dude, I had one.
184
:I had, so I had an iPod video.
185
:Yeah.
186
:Those things, those, that
was really cool, man.
187
:Those, that day and season of our
technological history was a sweet one.
188
:I liked it.
189
:I liked going to my
computer to get new podcasts
190
:PJ: and dude, it was great.
191
:You're digging a hole because
you know what's gonna happen.
192
:Because we can't win this battle 'cause
we're not the oldest generation yet.
193
:Of course not.
194
:Of course not.
195
:So at church on Sunday, here comes Dan
talking about eight tracks and LPs and
196
:Rod: dude, I went to a music store
the other day and I, you probably
197
:know this, a lot of people do vinyls
are making like a serious comeback.
198
:Yeah.
199
:We've got some vinyls in our
200
:PJ: living room right now.
201
:Do you?
202
:We are, yeah.
203
:I did not know that.
204
:Spinning a little Ben
Rector on the vinyl and.
205
:Okay.
206
:Yeah.
207
:Explain that.
208
:It's the sound quality
is supposed to be better.
209
:I it's also, it's supposed to be, huh?
210
:It's also a piece of furniture to have a
turntable and to have a record collection.
211
:And what is an aesthetic?
212
:It's, it gives a Yes, exactly.
213
:I'm scratching, scratching,
214
:Rod: laying down beats for Amanda.
215
:Is she?
216
:Totally,
217
:PJ: yeah.
218
:No I don't understand all of it except
that it's in our modern technology
219
:the sound files are compressed and
so you're not getting the full.
220
:The fullness of, unless you
221
:Rod: do apple music, which
has the full sound file.
222
:True.
223
:And if you use a digital to analog
converter, like the one I showed
224
:you you can get the full thing.
225
:Granted, it may not sound as
good on your speakers, right?
226
:Because okay, once you get into
that rabbit hole, speaking of,
227
:that's really hard to get outta.
228
:'cause now you have to say if I want
the best audio, I need the right
229
:subwoofer and then I need the right.
230
:Speakers, which have the
greatest level of frequencies.
231
:And I need the right
amplifier and I need this.
232
:And then headphones too, open ear
headphones, open ear clothes, dear.
233
:And then whether you want the
light stuff or you want the he.
234
:Yeah.
235
:This is a dangerous
place to go, my friend.
236
:PJ: Yes.
237
:Psalm one 20 was one of those psalms
of a scent preparing for worship.
238
:And in the psalm just thematically
here, he's praying that the Lord
239
:would deliver him from someone who had
brought him harm with lies and deceit.
240
:So you can think of
David's life and think of.
241
:Probably many instances where he
was in a situation where things
242
:were stacked against him because
somebody had lied about him or tried
243
:to deceive others in regards to him.
244
:And so this is we don't know if it's
David specifically 'cause it's not
245
:listed there in the title, but the
editors of this reading plan said,
246
:Hey, this is probably David and
we think it fits here in his life.
247
:Rod: I guess why would they, I
just explained that the songs of
248
:Ascent, the songs of Ascent were
one that you would sing as you wait,
249
:make your way to Israel, right?
250
:A Jerusalem rather.
251
:Why this one?
252
:Like how does this fit into the economy
of Hey, come prepared to worship.
253
:Let's think about our enemies and how you
were deceived or how you were delivered
254
:PJ: from wine lips.
255
:Other than it's acknowledging, we've
talked a lot about how worship speaks
256
:to the circumstances of our lives and
it's acknowledging that whether or not
257
:you were, no matter where you were if
you were called to go and worship the
258
:Lord in at the temple, think of Passover
or feast to booze or some of the other
259
:required attendances at the temple there.
260
:You're coming out of real life and I
think a song like this acknowledges that.
261
:And even as you're going to worship,
praying for that deliverance and asking
262
:that God would would do justice and
and bring reconciliation there and
263
:trusting that to him, almost rolling
that over to him to maybe for you to
264
:be able to go up and worship the Lord
as you should be able to worship him.
265
:That's a good word.
266
:Psalm one 40 then this is a psalm
that we do have ascribed to David,
267
:and so in this psalm here we have,
david asking the Lord to intervene
268
:and to deliver him from wicked men.
269
:And the Psalm ends with this
confident expression that Yahweh would
270
:maintain the cause of the afflicted
and execute justice for the needy,
271
:which is interesting because I.
272
:The question has to be asked and answered.
273
:It.
274
:Does he always do that?
275
:There, there's a confidence
that, that David has here.
276
:I know the Lord will maintain the
cause of the afflicted and will
277
:execute justice for the needy.
278
:But that doesn't always happen.
279
:We're dealing with a, an awful
situation right now which has yet to
280
:play out fully in the court of law.
281
:But we're dealing with this
situation of this 17-year-old
282
:young man who was murdered.
283
:By a guy and murdered in cold blood
at this track stadium down in Frisco,
284
:and his killer is the one that's now
raised over $300,000 on a GoFundMe.
285
:And some judge lowered his bail
from a million, which is what it
286
:was said, at normally to 250,000.
287
:Now he's out and he's at home with
his family and his family's rejoicing
288
:that they have their son home when the
man that he killed that family is now
289
:without their son sitting at the table.
290
:So you look at a situation like
that, let's bring this real life,
291
:and we say, okay, is God maintaining
the cause of the afflicted?
292
:And as key.
293
:Executing justice for the needy.
294
:It's the it's a cesspool.
295
:So I would encourage you not to do
it, but if you go down the rabbit
296
:hole of the comments on social media
under these articles that are out
297
:there it's crazy the number of people
that think that this perpetrator
298
:was right in doing what he did.
299
:It's mind boggling.
300
:And so we live in a
society and a culture of.
301
:Of un of injustice of the tragic.
302
:And granted, hopefully justice
will be done in the court of law.
303
:We can pray for that and entrust that.
304
:The Lord will do that.
305
:But it's interesting that
David is so confident here.
306
:So pr some thoughts on how David
can be so confident that justice
307
:is gonna come, that God is gonna
maintain the cause of the afflicted
308
:when sometimes we see the opposite.
309
:Rod: Yeah, I think we're all gonna
say that at the end of the day, even
310
:as Christians, we're gonna say, God's
the one who's going to uphold this
311
:cause He's going to protect them.
312
:Ultimately, even if not temporally.
313
:And so we'll have to distinguish between
that which we see here and now versus
314
:that which we know will take place in
the there and then, so as the Christian
315
:worldview comes into clearer focus, we
have to recognize that while we do enjoy
316
:some of the privileges of God's rule
and reign here and now when the justice
317
:system does work, our hope is not.
318
:In the here and now, but in the there
and then, and that's what's going
319
:to help us navigate some of these
rough and difficult seasons where it
320
:seems like evil has the upper hand.
321
:We look to the there and then.
322
:Yeah.
323
:That's
324
:PJ: good.
325
:That's good.
326
:Psalm 1 41, then in this psalm, David
is gonna pray both for deliverance
327
:from sin and deliverance from evil men.
328
:And so here we get a glimpse into David's
heart, knowing that he is inclined
329
:towards and prone to sin himself.
330
:And so David is not, even though
he will often plead his integrity,
331
:David is not unaware of the fact
that he can be inclined to evil
332
:and to wickedness and to sin.
333
:And so he's praying for deliverance,
both from sin and from evil men.
334
:And that God would keep him
in a state of integrity.
335
:And I think we see that in verse three.
336
:Set a guard, oh Lord, over my mouth and
keep watch over the door of my lips.
337
:Don't incline or don't let my
heart incline to any evil, to
338
:busy myself with wicked deeds.
339
:In other words, David's saying,
I know what my default is.
340
:I know what I will do if I'm not
dependent upon you, relying upon
341
:you trusting in you to do this.
342
:And so I'm asking that you would do this.
343
:Pierre let's kick around.
344
:This concept for a second there,
it, how is this different from the
345
:mindset of this being a mantra?
346
:Okay.
347
:If I wake up and I pray, God set a
guard over my lips so that I don't say
348
:anything stupid and help me not let
my heart inclined to towards any evil.
349
:Amen.
350
:And then I can just go
about my day and I'm good.
351
:I don't need to worry.
352
:It's like the mantra or the lucky
rabbit's foot that if I pray this,
353
:then clearly the rest of the day
I'm gonna, I'm gonna be fine.
354
:Rod: Yeah.
355
:It's funny that you
bring this up 'cause I.
356
:I copied and pasted this
into my prayer mate.
357
:'cause I'm like, this is so good.
358
:I just want to use this.
359
:And the danger is that we'll do
what this, what a lot of people
360
:will do with their prayers.
361
:Say this many Hail Marys,
this many our fathers.
362
:And you could take a really good
portion of the scripture and
363
:use them in really bad ways.
364
:And I think that's the danger
that Jesus speaks about when he
365
:says, don't think that you're
gonna be hurt for your many words.
366
:I don't think that because you say
the right formula, that suddenly
367
:your prayer becomes acceptable.
368
:A real prayer is dynamic and relational.
369
:And you can still communicate this
to God without actually repeating
370
:the exact phraseology and saying
I didn't say it just right.
371
:Therefore God doesn't hear me.
372
:God hears us based on our faith in Christ
and not on the the formality of our words.
373
:So I think that's probably the linchpin
for me is that we present our hearts
374
:to God by saying, man, don't let
my heart inclined to any evil Lord.
375
:You know me.
376
:And I think that's why the Psalms are
so great to use as really great starting
377
:places for prayer because they give words
to, to real as you were saying earlier.
378
:To real life situations.
379
:When I read verse four, I'm
like, man, that is so good.
380
:I just, I stopped and
I thought about that.
381
:I'm like, man, this is a Godly man saying,
don't let my heart incline to any evil.
382
:Which is, which becomes then a thought
of my heart can be stopped by God
383
:from inclining towards something bad.
384
:And I think that part of the
fact that changes part of the
385
:fact is that we're regenerated.
386
:And that changes everything for us.
387
:David wasn't, he wasn't born again by
the spirit of God like we are, but he
388
:did recognize that there is still a bent
to his flesh that will incline toward
389
:evil unless God does something about it.
390
:I love that.
391
:So I would say copy and paste it into
your prayer system, whatever that is, but
392
:don't depend on the words, depending on
the God to whom your words are directed.
393
:PJ: Yeah, I would agree with all of that.
394
:And.
395
:Add to that too, that idea that
this is, that both and element
396
:of our sanctification, right?
397
:It's not that we are gonna be
automatically sanctified just
398
:because we pray a certain thing
or ask God to do a certain thing.
399
:He's not, he's not the
cosmic vending machine.
400
:He's not the genie in the sky who,
if we pray this, then all of a
401
:sudden we can let go and let God.
402
:Make this happen in our life.
403
:I've said it before and I think it's true.
404
:Our default is gonna be towards the flesh.
405
:So even if you wake up in the morning
and you go to the word and you pray these
406
:prayers, if you're praying these prayers
thinking that, okay, now it's God's job
407
:to, to keep me holy for the rest of the
day and I can let my guard down then
408
:you're a sitting duck, then it's not
gonna go the way that you want it to go.
409
:Instead we have to do what Paul
calls us to do and work out a.
410
:Work out our salvation
with fear and trembling.
411
:And so we're gonna pray this and
then we're also gonna be careful
412
:to set ourselves in the way
of seeing this become reality.
413
:And that's part of the way that
God's gonna answer, that He's
414
:gonna sanctify us by his spirit.
415
:And so we're gonna pray, God sanctify me.
416
:And then we're gonna know that God's going
to sanctify as his spirit works within
417
:us and uses our wisdom, our actions,
our thoughts, our desires, so forth and
418
:so on to, to drive us towards Christ.
419
:And so it's gotta be the both end there.
420
:Psalm 1 42.
421
:Then again, is from David, a Maskel
of David, and he's in the cave.
422
:Which cave?
423
:Good luck narrowing that down.
424
:David spent a lot of time in
caves and so we're not sure.
425
:Maybe this is the cave when
Saul comes in to relieve himself
426
:there and in Getty, maybe not.
427
:But here's David, and he's praying
to the Lord here in Psalm 1 42.
428
:And here I think this psalm
reveals for us God's personal
429
:awareness and acknowledgement
of our sorrows and our difficult
430
:circumstances as David is crying out.
431
:And he asked the Lord in verse
six, attend to my cry for I am
432
:brought very low, deliver me from my
persecutor, bring me outta prison,
433
:that I may give thanks to your name,
that the righteous will surround me.
434
:Yeah I think this is one of those
where the Lord does care about
435
:where you are and it's okay to
bring these things before the Lord.
436
:We talked in one of the previous
episodes about should we tell the Lord?
437
:The things that are going on in our
life, doesn't he already know them?
438
:And the answer is yes, but
at the same time it's good
439
:for us and it's okay for us.
440
:And David does this.
441
:God knew exactly where David was and knew
what was going on in his heart right now.
442
:And yet it was good and right for David
to be able to pour out his complaint
443
:before the Lord, to tell his trouble to
the Lord when his spirit faints within
444
:him, trusting that the Lord knew him.
445
:This was.
446
:This was okay and good for
David to do, and it's okay
447
:and good for us to do as well.
448
:As long as it doesn't turn into a spirit
of bitterness and grumbling in complaining
449
:the way that Israelites did, but rather
saying, Lord, here's my circumstances.
450
:Help me understand.
451
:Help me know how to go through this.
452
:Help me endure, help me persevere,
deliver me outta this trial.
453
:I think this is a good
example for us in Psalm 1 42.
454
:Rod: I guess I would also, the word
complaint ha has such a negative
455
:connotation to us, and I can understand
that it isn't negative word by and large.
456
:But notice the way that
David talks to the Lord.
457
:He's not saying, why have
you made me this way?
458
:Why do you do this?
459
:Why are you, it's not accusatory?
460
:And sometimes David does
get pretty close to that.
461
:I'll let confess, there are
times where he is ah, he gets
462
:really close to the line from me.
463
:But I think that brutal honesty, God
still honors because he's offering
464
:it with a spirit of humility.
465
:And I think that really is the difference
maker between our complaints of the
466
:Lord and our typical complaining when
someone cuts us off on Preston Road.
467
:PJ: Yeah.
468
:Rod: So here I would say the complaints
you have to understand in this context
469
:of humble confession of frustration.
470
:There is not, you should not complain
to God where you shake your fist at him
471
:and say, oh, you hate when you do this,
or you're not talking to a toddler.
472
:Not that you should talk to
a toddler that way, right?
473
:You're not talking to a dog or a stray cat
or a housed cat, any kind of cat at all.
474
:You're not talking to a cat.
475
:You're talking to the God who made
everything the God of the universe,
476
:the God who made galaxies and stars and
nebula and volcanoes and earthquakes.
477
:This is the same God.
478
:I'd be careful about that.
479
:I would still say offer your complaint.
480
:But be sure the way that you
describe complaint isn't.
481
:Arrogance, proud, boastful, complaining,
but a humble confession of neediness
482
:on your part for understanding, for
wisdom, for clarity, all those things.
483
:PJ: Yes.
484
:And amen to that.
485
:Yeah.
486
:Yeah.
487
:And we seek to maintain
a high view of God.
488
:That's one of our distinctives
here, and we've gotta maintain that
489
:high view of God in the valleys
as well as on the mountaintops.
490
:And so we've gotta be
careful with that for sure.
491
:Let's pray and then we'll
be done with this episode.
492
:God, give us the wisdom to know how
to do that to to check ourselves.
493
:Lord, help us to be sensitive to
the spirit within us to not allow
494
:circumstances, to drive us into
grumbling, complaining criticism doubt.
495
:That would be sinful of you and I.
496
:Certainly any accusatory thoughts
that would impugn you of wrongdoing
497
:that we don't want to cross that line.
498
:And Job is an example of somebody who
eventually did cross that line, but at
499
:the very beginning he's got that faith
in you that says you give, you take away.
500
:Blessed be the name of the Lord, that's
where we want to be, and yet that doesn't.
501
:That's not possible for us in our flesh.
502
:We need the spirit working within
us, making us more like Christ.
503
:To have that mentality, that mindset, even
thinking about Jesus, his example is like
504
:a lamb that was silent before it shears.
505
:He, he went to the slaughter for
us and he suffered for us, as Peter
506
:says, leaving us an example that
we should follow in his steps.
507
:And so help us to do that, to
entrust ourselves to our creator.
508
:While doing good Lord, we want that to
be true of who we are as we suffer with
509
:a great confidence and trust in you.
510
:So give us that we pray
in Jesus' name, amen.
511
:Amen.
