Isaiah 12 - God Is My Salvation

One of the most beautiful hymns to be found in the Bible is not in the book of Psalms at all, but rather in the book of Isaiah. In Isaiah chapter 12 is recorded the great hymn to be sung by God's people in the day of their redemption, when God redeems them and turns them and saves them. It is known as the great hymn of God's salvation and looks forward to a time then future. Though they were about to suffer the consequences of their rebellion toward God, Isaiah gives them this glimpse into the future when God's anger will be turned away and God will comfort his people.

Is God right to be angry? What should we think about that? Is sin worth getting angry over? And if God loves sinners anyway, doesn't that mean that sin is not that big a deal? How is God's anger appeased?

I ask and answer these questions in this sermon and, although I do not even come close to doing justice to this great passage, pay attention to the Scripture itself and not the poor job I do of expounding it. Below is the link to the audio.

Psalm 13 - Where Is God When I Need Him?

Psalm 13 is known as the "How long" psalm, because of David's repetition of that question in the first two verses.

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

It is a song of lament sung by David at a time in his life when he felt like God was nowhere to be found. Have you ever felt that way? Why does God sometimes seem far off? Why does he allow trials into my life and then seem silent when I cry out to him? And how should I react to that? And where is Jesus in all this? Can Jesus be found in this psalm?

Psalm 12 - The Faithful God

Does God hear my prayers? What if I haven't prepared well? What if I'm not worthy?

Does it seem as if the godly have failed from the earth and the wicked prosper on every side?

Is God's word trustworthy?

What is my place in the world and how am I to view what is taking place around me?

These and other questions are asked and answered as I take a look at the 12th Psalm in a sermon I preached on Sunday, April 3, 2016 at the Winnsboro Reformed Church of Winnsboro, Texas. How relevant is an Old Testament book like this to us today? Take a listen and you will hear that God's word is very relevant to us.
