Hey, welcome to Sunday's edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

2

What's up.

3

It's not just Sunday's edition.

4

It's family fun days edition.

5

One day edition.

6

Yeah, that's right.

7

What are we doing today?

8

We've got the family fun day after

services over at Frisco commons park.

9

What does fund day include?

10

Uh, it includes games that,

uh, our own mark Cogan.

11

Is going to MC and it's going to

include some giveaways and prizes.

12

We're going to have our VBS

registration booth up so people can

13

register their kids for vacation

Bible school at campus Bible church.

14

We're going to have a food

as, since it's a campus event,

15

there's going to be food there.

16

Um, it'd be a couples event without

it face painting balloon animals.

17

Cause Abe came is going to be there.

18

So he's going to bust out the balloon

animals, which are the events.

19

Are you leading?

20

Should have a great time.

21

Uh, Tattoos leading the stand around

and mingle with people events.

22

Yeah.

23

That's its own event.

24

Huh?

25

Well, I mean, it's kind

of a one person event.

26

Oh, okay.

27

I guess that someone needs to do it.

28

Yeah.

29

You.

30

And I've got a, I've got

a welcome everybody, man.

31

That's exhausting.

32

And then I've got to tell everybody.

33

We'll leave at the end.

34

And how do you do it?

35

I don't know.

36

How do you do it is the head that

wears the crown, especially that one

37

that David got, that was 75 pounds.

38

Yeah.

39

I wonder if he actually ever wore that.

40

It said he put it on his head, man.

41

I mean, like, just for like,

uh, like, oh, here you go.

42

Take a picture and then

take it off real quick.

43

Or did he actually like, Hey, I'm

going to walk around Jerusalem

44

with my crown on 75 pounds, man.

45

That's almost two plates.

46

Like that's crazy.

47

I mean, you'd have to

have pretty strong neck.

48

Which goes to show, how,

what were your ESC king?

49

David was, he was no slouch, right?

50

Yeah, no, that's true.

51

Anyways, hopefully it'll

be a good, uh, good event.

52

Good outreach into our community.

53

We have been saying, I've been

saying during announcements, we

54

want to be the type of church

that our community would miss.

55

If we were to ever shut our

doors and we pray that we won't.

56

Um, but we do want to have inroads there.

57

And so this is one of those.

58

Events.

59

That's, that's hard to measure the

success of, because there's going

60

to be a lot of people that come

through there, like extravaganza.

61

We saw we on estimate.

62

Uh, about 600 people came through.

63

Wow.

64

Um, we didn't get 600

people at our church.

65

Afterwards.

66

So not yet, not yet, but it's,

it's kind of one of those events

67

that you sit back and go what's

our expectation is our expectation.

68

We're going to get a whole bunch of

people that show up at our church.

69

Well, Um, we'd love that, but the reality

is probably not, uh, we may get one or

70

two families that come and visit and maybe

one of those families will stick around.

71

That would be a win out of.

72

Yeah.

73

Um, but if nothing else, our name

is getting out into the community.

74

People are starting to remember and go,

oh, why haven't you guys done this before?

75

Yeah, we've, we've actually

done it a couple times before.

76

And.

77

Uh, why do you do this?

78

Why is it free?

79

Why don't you charge anything?

80

Well, because we, we love you guys.

81

We love the community.

82

We want to be out here.

83

So this is an opportunity for us

to, um, to really get our name out

84

there so that people will think.

85

Uh, well of compass Bible church when

they think about us and, uh, hopefully

86

desire to come in and check out more

than just our event, but also come in

87

and see what we're about on Sundays

and get this to every day surrounding

88

Sunday has lightning bolts and 40%

chance this and 25% chance that.

89

And sexist, whether it's Texas, whether

you kind of expect that, but the one day.

90

Out in the next 10 that doesn't have

any markings except for a cloud.

91

It's Sunday.

92

Also happened to be the

hottest day of the week.

93

It's going to be 99.

94

We should feel like a good one 10

after the humidity's done with us.

95

But Hey, we will have

we'll we'll have an event.

96

And maybe we'll include outdoor air

conditioning as part of that event, too.

97

That would be nice perhaps.

98

Yeah, outdoor air conditioning.

99

I don't think we have that.

100

You know, wasn't Deion Sanders.

101

I kept on seeing an ad

when I was on social media.

102

His ad kept on showing up,

especially last summer, I guess.

103

Cause I was looking for

something like this.

104

We're, it looks like a cooler that

you sit on or you can put stuff

105

in, but you put ice in it and

it's a portable air conditioner.

106

So you would take it to your

sporting events and you can

107

play it at your players.

108

It looked really cool.

109

Yeah.

110

That was kind of into it during COVID

when in California, when we had to

111

meet outside, we got the swamp coolers.

112

You remember that?

113

Yeah.

114

I mean, that's a funny cause

now here you would never want

115

to put a swamp cooler because it

already feels like a swamp, right?

116

You don't want a di swamp cooler, right?

117

Yeah, well, it didn't work too well.

118

You know, it.

119

Unless you were sitting like

right in front of it, everyone

120

else is like, Hey, can I.

121

And they were loud.

122

They were really loud.

123

Yeah.

124

They tried.

125

And it was a good try.

126

It was, but it was

ultimately unsuccessful.

127

The best thing we did with, uh, we

stretch these tarps out over our out.

128

We had this kind of triangular.

129

Center concrete section where we

set up church during COVID because

130

we weren't allowed to be inside.

131

And so it was blazing, hot in

the sun would just beat down.

132

And so we got these tarps that we

stretched between the buildings.

133

Our facilities team had to take those

down every single week and put them

134

back up every single week because

we weren't allowed to keep them up.

135

Right.

136

Cause it was a fire safety lane

and they were concerned that the

137

fire truck wouldn't fit under the

tarp, even though it would've.

138

It would have plenty of space.

139

What space to spare on top of that,

which by the way I did go, I did

140

do the temporary subscription to a.

141

The, uh, uh, HGTV.

142

HGTV.

143

So I watched that.

144

I watched that documentary.

145

Oh, cool.

146

What do you think?

147

All the, I almost cried.

148

I was mad.

149

I got mad again.

150

Oh, I didn't do this to us.

151

And then to be justified at the end.

152

Like you can never do this again.

153

Like you should never have

done it in the first place.

154

Right.

155

I thought, man, see, this is, I think

that justified everybody who was

156

like, we're not doing this right.

157

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going

to obey the orders and granted

158

hindsight's 2020, especially after

a ruling by the Supreme court.

159

The whole time.

160

Whole time.

161

I was just thinking that.

162

What a difficult time

163

Yeah, sadly 20, 20, 20, 21.

164

It, yeah.

165

Yeah, well, not a good year now.

166

It wasn't.

167

Hey, but this is a good year.

168

And we hope that a Sunday

is going to be a great day.

169

We're looking forward to a good time

with our church family at church,

170

and also at the family fund that.

171

Family fun day.

172

Yup.

173

Well, let's jump into some

other fun, which is the Bible.

174

We got quite a few Psalms 1,

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, arms today.

175

Am I counting that right line.

176

Two three.

177

Yeah.

178

First one though, it's only

three verses, so I'm 1 31.

179

Uh, some 1 31, it's a Psalm of a

sense, not don't sniff the micro stop.

180

I knew it smells good.

181

Nell's good.

182

Anyways, this was a song that was

sung in a way up to the temple.

183

This is a short one.

184

Uh, I mean, they got through

this one real fast and so, uh,

185

only three versus Psalm of David.

186

Uh, but, uh, one of the things

that, that stands out to me at least

187

is the second half of verse one.

188

I do not occupy myself

with things too great.

189

And too marvelous for me.

190

That's just a good reminder of

humility to know there are things

191

that we are not going to be able to

understand about God and that's okay.

192

Um, we should strive to

understand as much as we can.

193

But there's a danger in trying to

understand the things that, that

194

we can't and, uh, and drawing wrong

conclusions about those things.

195

So I think there's a humility,

inappropriate posture of

196

humility that says, God, your,

your ways are not my ways.

197

And you're higher than I am.

198

And you're your wisdom

is, is deeper than mine.

199

Even Paul, at the end of Romans 11.

200

When he says how great and

unsearchable are the ways of

201

God who can understand his ways.

202

No one can.

203

So, yeah.

204

I think what stands out for me in this

is that his posture is one of humility.

205

Like I just know that there's an end.

206

And my finitude, I can never

understand infinite tude.

207

I know that's not the way you say it, but

infinity I'll never understand infinity.

208

And that's what God is.

209

And that's how, that's the

space that he occupies.

210

But there are things where, because I.

211

I mean, asking questions is

kind of part of the human way.

212

Like we just ask questions

and we think, and we try to

213

ponder and put things together.

214

I don't think there's anything

inherently wrong with that.

215

What becomes wrong is to

think I can figure out God.

216

I will tell you precisely how God

works and why he works the way he does.

217

And let me just put it all together.

218

You could never cage God into

a simple mental or intellectual

219

system because God has God.

220

And if he is higher than our

thoughts, if his ways are beyond

221

our ways, and certainly we should

expect that he will exhaust our

222

thinking and go well beyond it.

223

Yeah.

224

Yep.

225

I'm 1 38.

226

This is one of the final Psalms of David,

and we're not sure of the historical

227

context, but some have suggested it

would be a fitting response to the

228

Davidic covenant after God had promised.

229

Uh, so many great things to him.

230

Probably due to the abuse of praise

that marks the majority of the

231

Psalm is why people conclude that.

232

But, uh, in Psalm 1 38, uh, no.

233

In verse seven.

234

Uh, we find, uh, some parallels

to Psalm 23, Psalm 23.

235

So in verse seven, it says, though,

I walk in the midst of trouble.

236

You preserve my life.

237

You stretch out your hand against

the wrath of my enemies and

238

your right hand delivers me.

239

It sounds a lot like Psalm 23,

walking through the valley of the

240

shadow of death, preparing a table

in the presence of my enemies.

241

And so there's some similar themes there.

242

And then verse eight as well.

243

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for

me, just that confidence that God has

244

set in place a purpose, and that he is

bringing it to, to fulfillment for David.

245

This was something that David trusted

throughout his whole life, as far as, at

246

least when we become aware of David, um,

he's anointed king and then immediately

247

he has to run for his life because the

current king of Israel wants to kill him.

248

And the current king

of Israel has an army.

249

And so David, this had to be

David's posture his whole life.

250

Trusting in the Lord to deliver him in the

Lord to fulfill his purpose for his life.

251

Uh, that's a kind of a hallmark

of the life of king David.

252

Yeah.

253

And you also see here in verse

six, something that's throughout

254

the pages of scripture.

255

Uh, that Lord, that the

Lord loves humility.

256

He loves the lowly, but the

proud or the Hottie he knows

257

from afar is what he says here.

258

But you might think of a James four,

six, or verses like that, uh, that say

259

something to the effect of God opposes the

proud, but he gives grace to the humble.

260

This thought carries all throughout

the scriptures, which again

261

goes back to what we just read.

262

Uh, that there are things that

are greater than us beyond us.

263

And of course, that's God himself.

264

We ought to be a humble creation and

letting God be God and SB his creatures.

265

That means we trust him

and we let him lead.

266

So I'm 1 39, probably one of my favorites.

267

Uh, probably a lot of you

share that, that sentiment.

268

Um, just a great Psalm, a precinct God's

sovereign, Karen intimate knowledge of us.

269

Uh, which are the main themes of the

Psalm, his omniscience and his, uh,

270

his on, uh, on the presence that he

is, is everywhere at the same time.

271

There's nowhere we can flee from him.

272

Uh, verses 13 through 16 notes.

273

Uh, specifically God's intricately

involved in the life of the unborn.

274

Um, and so that's, uh, one of the things

that, that should matter to us at all

275

times, but especially in the days in

which we find us, where we have this

276

modern re uh, re rekindling of, of the

worship of Molech in a sense with the

277

abortion movement, that's out there.

278

Uh, this is very plain, very clear

about the fact that life is, is

279

present in the womb, and God is

involved in the forming of that life.

280

And it's not ours to, to end that life.

281

Uh, so we see verses 13 through 16.

282

There also note in verse 16,

no one dies early or too young.

283

We're going to talk about that

today, actually in church when

284

we're talking about death, but.

285

He has written every one of the days

before any of them come to pass.

286

That means nobody dies too young.

287

We say that, we say, oh

man, he died too young.

288

And I understand what we mean by that

in the sentiment that's being expressed.

289

But the reality is.

290

Nobody dies too early.

291

Everybody dies on God's time for them.

292

And when they fulfilled the

days that God has for them.

293

Uh, then finally verses 23 through

24 in Psalm 1 39 that prayer of David

294

to search him and try him and know

if there's any grievous way in him.

295

Uh, such a great prayer for any

believer at any time, not just before

296

we take communion, which I'll often

encourage us to pray something similar

297

before communion, but really any

time of our lives to say God, Route

298

out any of the evil thoughts that

I may have or evil ways in my life.

299

And one of the ways that God

answers a prayer like that, because

300

it is a great prayer to pray.

301

It's by putting people in our lives.

302

Uh, we can't see our blind spots.

303

That's the nature of a blind spot.

304

You are blind to those spots in your

life that are not obvious to you, but

305

they are obvious to most of their people,

especially those who are closest to you.

306

So if you're living the solo life in the

Christian context, you're doing it wrong.

307

God uses people to sharpen us,

to strengthen us and to answer

308

prayers like search me and know me.

309

Oh God, he, oh, he will

pray that with gosh.

310

And he will answer that.

311

True.

312

True.

313

All right.

314

Psalm 1 43, this song finds

David in a time of distress.

315

Shocker.

316

Uh, right.

317

David praying at a time of distress.

318

Uh, in a time of distress and he's

praying for God's mercy while we're

319

calling his faithfulness to him in

the past, asking for him to teach him.

320

To preserve him for his name's sake.

321

And so someone 43 has a lot

of just great lines in it.

322

Uh, it's also another

Psalm by Shana shame.

323

And so if you are interested in,

in hearing a modern adaptation

324

of Psalm 1 43, you can find

that written by Shane and Shane.

325

And it's a, it's a catchy too.

326

It's a good one.

327

Yeah, I like verse five in particular.

328

I remember the days of old and

meditate on all that you have done.

329

I ponder the work of your hands.

330

Uh, that's a good.

331

Philippians chapter four verse.

332

Uh, verse eight, where you

set your mind on what's true.

333

Uh, focusing your thoughts and your

ideas on what God has done and why he's

334

worthy of your trust in the here and now.

335

Part of that is remembering

what he's done there in that.

336

Yep.

337

So I'm 1 44, then this is another

Davidic Psalm where he is praising

338

God and asking him, petitioning

him to act, to bring judgment.

339

And in faithfulness judgment on

his enemies, faithfulness to David,

340

there's some similarities here

in Psalm, 1 44 to Psalm one 18.

341

Uh, Verse three, again, another

posture of humility from

342

David similar to Psalm eight.

343

Actually, if we can go all the way back

there, but a lot of what is man that

344

you regard him, the son of man, that you

think of him, a man is like a breath.

345

His days are like a passing shadow against

something that we're going to talk about.

346

Th this morning at church is.

347

The mindfulness of the brevity of life

and the fact that we are all going to

348

have to come to the end of our life.

349

And, and it's helpful for us to

consider that, to ponder that and

350

to ask ourselves, okay, so then how

should we then live in light of that?

351

Amen.

352

Some 1 45, then this is David's

final Psalm in the Psalter from

353

what we understand at least.

354

And he went out with a bang.

355

It a, it's an amazing song

of praise and Thanksgiving.

356

Uh, verse three greatest the

Lord greatly to be praised.

357

His greatness is unsearchable.

358

We were just talking about he's

on searchability and there it is.

359

7 45.

360

One generation shall commend

your works to another and

361

shall declare your mighty acts.

362

This is, we've talked

about this theme as well.

363

Right.

364

Again, another.

365

It's a Shane Shane.

366

This is one of my favorite

Shane and Shane songs.

367

Yes, I agree.

368

Yeah.

369

So in fact, you haven't

listened to it yet.

370

We command you.

371

They'll listen.

372

Shelby you shell.

373

You don't have to, but we

really recommend Psalm 1 45.

374

Shannon Shane.

375

So good.

376

So good.

377

And such good themes in here.

378

Somebody that we've talked

about before, but, uh, it's,

379

it should be an encouragement

to you as you read through it.

380

And notice yet again in verses six

and excuse me, verse eight and nine.

381

Uh, and again, alludes back

to Exodus 34, verse six.

382

You're going to see this all

throughout the pages of scripture,

383

which is why, if you haven't memorized

Exodus 34 verses six and seven.

384

That'd be good for you to have at

the ready in your mind, because

385

those illusions are so clear.

386

There's so repetitive.

387

And it just goes back to this

particular section, Exodus 34.

388

So don't forget that.

389

Exodus 34 verse six and seven.

390

Uh, and so I'm 1 45 verses eight and nine.

391

Yup.

392

That was a lot of songs out, six of them.

393

That's um, but we got, we could do more.

394

And we've got more coming

up on a couple of days.

395

I believe.

396

Tuesday.

397

I'm one, 11 to one 18.

398

That's a lot.

399

So get ready.

A piece of cake and then

not too long from now.

401

We've got some one 19 all in one

day and song of Solomon all in

402

one day, all in one day as well.

403

Oh, I've got to go.

404

I'm grateful for that.

405

Because in our old boarding

program, it was like song.

406

Solomon one and two.

407

Three and four, five minutes,

and then it was just awkward.

408

Where you just have to talk through this.

409

Here's more about that.

410

Here's more situations for you

to, to ponder and for you to talk

411

to your kids about, all right.

412

Hey, keep, bring your Bibles

tune in again tomorrow.

413

Join us at family fun day today.

414

And we will catch you for another

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

415

Mañana.

416

See you then.

Bye.
