We'll sing there that first verse. 11:00.700 --> 11:09.700 Far away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling. 11:09.700 --> 11:18.700 Then I know the sins of earth be set on every end. 11:19.500 --> 11:28.500 Doubt and fear and things of earth in vain to me are calling. 11:28.500 --> 11:36.500 None of thee shall move me from Beulah land. 11:37.100 --> 11:44.940 I'm living on the mountain underneath the cloudless sky. 11:44.940 --> 11:53.980 Praise God, I'm drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry. 11:53.980 --> 12:03.420 Oh yes, I'm feasting on the menna from a bountiful supply for- 12:04.300 --> 12:09.300 I am dwelling in Beulah Land. 12:11.740 --> 12:12.780 Bethany, what you got? 12:14.140 --> 12:17.780 176, okay, 176. 12:21.000 --> 12:23.000 Jesus loves the little children 12:24.600 --> 12:31.320 Especially when they're the ones picking all the hymns for the men's preaching night, I guess right 176 Jesus loves the little children 12:33.480 --> 12:35.940 We'll sing there just one time through 13:03.900 --> 13:13.260 244, okay? 244. And after this we'll have one more pick and then our indoor preaching 244. 13:16.600 --> 13:18.200 Amazing grace? 13:23.800 --> 13:25.800 244 all together. 13:25.800 --> 13:29.800 Amazing Grace! 14:05.100 --> 14:05.940 Number 40. 14:09.900 --> 14:13.180 Hymn number 40, no disappointment in heaven. 14:18.600 --> 14:20.600 Ham number 40. 14:27.000 --> 14:31.000 40 there on that first verse, sing it out. 14:31.000 --> 14:38.000 There's no disappointment in heaven, 14:38.000 --> 14:41.700 No weariness, sorrow, 16:20.100 --> 16:23.000 plates are being passed, Brother Alex will be preparing to preach. 17:07.100 --> 17:12.940 So to begin the sermon, I'd like for you guys to please go to Psalm 26, please. 17:13.100 --> 17:17.300 And then as you're flipping there, I just want to give a bit of context. 17:17.300 --> 17:20.980 As the morning sermon says, I'll just cover more of the general verse that we all would 17:20.980 --> 17:25.880 know is that when going through and being tempted, we all are familiar with the idea 17:25.880 --> 17:31.640 that we will all be tempted and have trials and persecutions and difficulties in our lives. 17:31.640 --> 17:36.940 And sometimes, as the Bible puts it, no one enjoys suffering at the time, but then afterwards 17:36.940 --> 17:39.280 it brings that peaceable fruit of righteousness. 17:39.280 --> 17:41.100 And so one of those things. 17:41.100 --> 17:43.980 that we always ask ourselves is like, how much longer? 17:43.980 --> 17:44.500 Right? 17:44.500 --> 17:46.580 In the Psalms, David's always writing like, hey, 17:46.580 --> 17:48.300 when will you deliver me? 17:48.300 --> 17:50.700 I hope I'm not going to be ashamed for my faith. 17:50.700 --> 17:52.500 And so one of the things I want to cover 17:52.500 --> 17:54.020 is what is here in verse 1. 17:54.020 --> 17:57.620 It says, judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in mine integrity. 17:57.620 --> 17:59.700 I have trusted also in the Lord. 17:59.700 --> 18:01.420 Therefore, I shall not slide. 18:01.420 --> 18:04.140 And so one of the questions that people tend to, 18:04.140 --> 18:07.220 when people backslide, the thing is like all of us 18:07.220 --> 18:08.620 fall short sometimes. 18:08.620 --> 18:09.100 but. 18:09.100 --> 18:14.140 The thing is, when we sin, when we fall short of the standards we have for ourselves, the 18:14.140 --> 18:19.700 most important skill I think that every Christian should develop and build on is the recovery 18:19.700 --> 18:22.740 after they've sinned. 18:22.740 --> 18:27.360 The thing is that God has made it already known to us, if you're saved, that He paid 18:27.360 --> 18:28.900 for all your sins. 18:28.900 --> 18:33.460 And Him not withholding His own Son from us, how much more would He offer for those who 18:33.460 --> 18:34.460 ask? 18:34.460 --> 18:37.060 One of those things is that we have a right and a privilege now that... 18:37.100 --> 18:41.600 being saved to go up to God and ask for mercy. 18:41.600 --> 18:43.840 And that although sometimes there are chastisers 18:43.840 --> 18:45.120 that come with it, the thing is, 18:45.120 --> 18:46.160 he's not gonna punish me with hell. 18:46.160 --> 18:49.840 So the question is, what sort of mindset should I have 18:49.840 --> 18:53.360 to be prepared for when I fall short 18:53.360 --> 18:55.960 and how to recover as quickly as possible? 18:55.960 --> 18:59.000 Because sometimes people sin, I guess a lot of people, 18:59.000 --> 19:01.200 a temptation for me is when I'm fasting 19:01.200 --> 19:05.100 and then they offer, I take a bite of a cookier. 19:05.100 --> 19:08.020 something and you're like, oh shoot, I guess I might as well finish the cookie. 19:08.300 --> 19:10.220 And then it's like, after you eat the cookie, you're like, oh, well, 19:10.500 --> 19:13.380 I already broke the fast today. Might as well just eat everything else. 19:13.820 --> 19:15.500 And so one of the things is that we, 19:15.580 --> 19:19.260 in order to basically gauge for ourselves is what the verse says here is, 19:19.260 --> 19:22.420 is for I have walked in mine integrity, right? 19:22.460 --> 19:25.420 The whole thing is that God can see you in secret. 19:25.740 --> 19:29.220 And when even when you're thinking you're alone and no one sees you, God does. 19:29.580 --> 19:32.900 And one of the things that in order to basically measure ourselves and approve 19:32.900 --> 19:33.100 source. 19:33.100 --> 19:36.280 is our own integrity and our own standards in ourselves. 19:36.280 --> 19:37.620 Right, and so the sermon, title sermon, 19:37.620 --> 19:40.920 is called Walking in Integrity, Walking in Integrity. 19:40.920 --> 19:44.000 And so the reason why it's important is because... 19:44.200 --> 19:48.200 The Gentiles who know not the law do which is in the law. The law is written in your heart. 19:48.200 --> 19:54.520 And so the thing is is that I guess like what's common to every person is basically a conscience 19:54.520 --> 19:59.000 on what we know is right and wrong. And so the thing is is that I don't necessarily some people 19:59.000 --> 20:04.600 always say like they'll ask me like well gambling isn't explicitly written in the Bible so I can go 20:04.600 --> 20:08.600 to the casino and then start gambling and doing all these things. Basically the idea is this is 20:08.600 --> 20:12.120 that the Bible doesn't give an exact hair length for example that women should have. 20:12.200 --> 20:14.300 to where it's too short. 20:14.300 --> 20:16.380 But a friend of mine always said like, 20:16.380 --> 20:17.900 if you're asking yourself that question, 20:17.900 --> 20:20.460 you probably shouldn't do it, right? 20:20.460 --> 20:23.700 And so the thing is, is that when it comes to... 20:24.600 --> 20:31.540 Maintain your integrity that is the best way to gauge whether or not you are right with God more so than how you feel at the present 20:31.540 --> 20:32.700 time or 20:32.700 --> 20:36.580 Based on the circumstances or even the mass opinion of others 20:36.740 --> 20:42.900 Right is what does the Bible say and whether you are aligned with what the word of God has to say on your character? 20:42.980 --> 20:49.680 Rather than the testimony of other people right because again like a lot of times in the world outside and false churches 20:49.680 --> 20:52.520 They have itching ears and their pastor say oh, you're never doing 20:52.600 --> 20:53.520 anything wrong. 20:53.520 --> 20:56.320 Oh, no, no, no, that's, it's always other people's fault. 20:56.320 --> 20:58.320 It's always the environment's fault, right? 20:58.320 --> 21:02.680 And so the next verse I'd like to go to is 21:02.680 --> 21:05.920 first Chronicles 15, 13, right? 21:06.200 --> 21:09.440 So what's happening is there's basically two ideas 21:09.440 --> 21:10.560 I wanted to cover. 21:10.560 --> 21:12.500 The first one is that there's this, 21:12.500 --> 21:14.780 how many of you have heard the expression 21:14.780 --> 21:17.040 that peer pressure is one hell of a drug? 21:17.040 --> 21:18.880 I guess, not endorsing drugs or anything, 21:18.880 --> 21:21.760 but the idea is that when you're, 21:21.760 --> 21:23.960 people tend to cave on what their principles 21:23.960 --> 21:27.520 and their integrity based on the amount of people 21:27.520 --> 21:29.440 telling them that they're wrong, right? 21:29.440 --> 21:30.980 And as us going soul winning, 21:30.980 --> 21:32.720 how many times have you had family members 21:32.720 --> 21:34.200 or people around you basically telling you like, 21:34.200 --> 21:37.200 What profit is it just to knock on doors and just to talk to people? 21:37.200 --> 21:42.500 Why are you giving up on these more like carnal practical things than what... 21:42.500 --> 21:44.300 But it's like, but is that what the Bible says though? 21:44.300 --> 21:47.100 No, it says that we should go out and preach the gospel, right? 21:47.100 --> 21:51.600 And another thing is that the ends justify the means, right? 21:51.600 --> 21:54.500 And so that's another expression that people will say where it's like, 21:54.500 --> 22:01.600 no, the morality of the current actions that you have to do are all justified on the outcomes. 22:01.600 --> 22:02.100 And so. 22:02.200 --> 22:05.320 So the thing is is that to combine those two concepts here, 22:05.320 --> 22:08.200 and I'll explain later in the context with this verse, 22:08.200 --> 22:10.800 is that in Samuel, right, 22:10.800 --> 22:12.800 that basically the Ark of the Covenant 22:12.800 --> 22:15.800 is then left with the Philistines and are blessing them. 22:15.800 --> 22:18.040 This then drives David to jealousy, 22:18.040 --> 22:20.720 and then he goes and tries to recover it back. 22:20.720 --> 22:22.920 The problem was is that in order to basically 22:22.920 --> 22:26.520 get the okay on this, he gets 30,000 others 22:26.520 --> 22:28.320 to agree that to put the Ark of the Covenant 22:28.320 --> 22:29.960 on a new cart, right? 22:29.960 --> 22:30.200 And that's. 22:30.200 --> 22:35.200 That's when Uzzah, when it tumbles on cart, touches the Ark of the Covenant and dies. 22:35.200 --> 22:41.740 And so the verse here, it says, later on, it says, in verse 13, it says, for because 22:41.740 --> 22:46.840 you did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought 22:46.840 --> 22:49.200 him not after the due order. 22:49.200 --> 22:50.200 Right? 22:50.200 --> 22:53.920 It's that, no, the thing is, is that regardless of outcome, those are not certainties. 22:53.920 --> 22:55.280 Those are not givens. 22:55.280 --> 22:58.200 The problem is that, again, people who go gambling. 22:58.200 --> 23:02.100 always try to gamble more to recover the money they lost, right? 23:02.100 --> 23:04.440 And then all the gambling was unjustified, right? 23:04.440 --> 23:08.600 Or like the saying like, oh, most gamblers quit before they hit it big, right? 23:08.600 --> 23:10.400 Which is obviously a dumb idea. 23:10.400 --> 23:18.700 And so the thing about integrity here is that there are so many ways to basically get validation 23:18.700 --> 23:22.200 or excuses for bad ideas that you may believe, rather than actually looking 23:22.200 --> 23:26.200 at what the Bible says is the standard for whether or not actions are... 23:26.200 --> 23:31.000 justified or not. And so, why, coming back to the beginning... 23:31.100 --> 23:34.940 is that when we backslide, I think a lot of the times, 23:34.940 --> 23:38.620 instead of actually taking admission of when we got wrong, 23:38.620 --> 23:40.300 and then actually seeing that there is, 23:40.300 --> 23:43.020 God still has hope in us to try to have steps to recover 23:43.020 --> 23:44.860 and to do better, right? 23:44.860 --> 23:48.220 We end up actually excusing what we did as being right, 23:48.220 --> 23:49.980 and then looking for other externalities 23:49.980 --> 23:52.060 to justify our wrong actions. 23:52.060 --> 23:54.540 It's then, it's not the problem is not with me, 23:54.540 --> 23:55.420 oh, it was. 23:55.700 --> 23:59.060 other people did wrong or oh no maybe the Bible was wrong on it. 23:59.060 --> 24:02.020 And so that's what ends up happening is a lot of people who end up sinning and then backsliding 24:02.020 --> 24:08.900 really hard never actually or sometimes very stiff-necked and then end up blaming God for a lot of their problems. 24:08.900 --> 24:16.900 And so the thing is is that I want to make my case and plead with you and go through a few more verses on how the best metric 24:17.200 --> 24:19.840 for understanding if, hey, am I right with God? 24:19.840 --> 24:21.840 Have I actually had the mercy with God? 24:21.840 --> 24:25.840 Am I actually doing what God has in store for me? 24:25.840 --> 24:28.560 The thing is, sufficient is the evil therein today, right? 24:28.560 --> 24:30.280 So I think the best metric, 24:30.280 --> 24:32.360 I forget what the verse escapes me, 24:32.360 --> 24:34.320 but there's a verse about a man who works hard, 24:34.320 --> 24:36.280 actually has a blessed sleep. 24:36.280 --> 24:37.680 I'm paraphrasing, but. 24:37.900 --> 24:42.560 The thing, the idea is that through your good actions and engaging at the end of the day, 24:42.560 --> 24:48.300 you yourself can see based on a review of your integrity, based on God's standards, 24:48.300 --> 24:51.260 and whether or not you actually were in his plan because you lived righteously. 24:51.260 --> 24:55.260 Now, again, we all sin every once in a while, but that's the whole point. 24:55.260 --> 24:57.800 There is sufficient grace unto every good work. 24:57.800 --> 25:02.700 You have never actually backslided so much where there's like, oh man, I can't go on 25:02.700 --> 25:04.460 anymore, I can't do this. 25:04.460 --> 25:05.700 So I continue on. 25:05.900 --> 25:07.900 I'll go on to... 25:09.500 --> 25:14.460 1st Peter chapter 1, right? And then just to fire off just a few more verses about why integrity is 25:14.460 --> 25:19.420 so important is in Psalms it talks about, let integrity and uprightness preserve me, 25:19.420 --> 25:25.900 for I wait on thee. Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his 25:25.900 --> 25:30.700 lips and is a fool. So for example like one of the stories I have from soul winning is we're seeing 25:30.700 --> 25:35.020 this guy at this big house in his big neighborhood walk up to him while he's watering his plants and 25:35.020 --> 25:37.500 that says, hey, God forbid, sir, if you were to die today, are you 25:37.500 --> 25:39.300 Are you 100% sure you'd be going to heaven? 25:39.300 --> 25:40.340 And then what he does, he just looks, 25:40.340 --> 25:42.300 while watering his plants, looks behind him and is like. 25:42.500 --> 25:45.420 I think I've done enough or I can earn my way to heaven, right? 25:45.420 --> 25:49.300 It's like no, it's better to be poor and know every day that you are just 25:49.500 --> 25:53.500 based on your own actions and being aligned with what the Bible has to say. 25:53.500 --> 25:59.500 And so, first Peter chapter 1 verse 6 says, 25:59.500 --> 26:03.500 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season if need be, 26:03.500 --> 26:06.500 ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations, 26:06.500 --> 26:10.500 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that 26:10.500 --> 26:16.040 perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found under praise and honor and glory 26:16.040 --> 26:17.940 at the appearing of Jesus Christ." 26:17.940 --> 26:23.180 So one of the things that people usually say as they kind of discourage themselves is that 26:23.180 --> 26:25.460 they're their own worst judge. 26:25.460 --> 26:33.460 And what I mean by that is when I get on this idea of the ends justifying the means, 26:33.460 --> 26:33.500 you 26:33.700 --> 26:36.980 is that you don't know if those are certain. 26:36.980 --> 26:39.940 So for example, like Kevin Rowe, 26:39.940 --> 26:42.260 everyone here knows that he was a great soul winner. 26:42.260 --> 26:44.460 The reason why he lost his life though 26:44.460 --> 26:46.260 was that he was doing a good thing though. 26:46.260 --> 26:49.220 It was that going out to try to afford these missions, 26:49.220 --> 26:51.300 trips for others who couldn't go, right? 26:51.300 --> 26:52.940 But then do we wanna be like Job's friends 26:52.940 --> 26:53.760 in Surmising Evil? 26:53.760 --> 26:55.060 God forbid, right? 26:55.060 --> 26:57.500 And so, but that's the thing is that in your integrity, 26:57.500 --> 27:00.820 you may be the person who doesn't get out lucky one day, 27:00.820 --> 27:01.660 went out doing a good thing. 27:01.660 --> 27:01.700 Thanks for watching! 27:01.700 --> 27:04.540 to actually go outside soul winning and get shot. 27:04.540 --> 27:06.740 That's a real thing that can occur. 27:06.740 --> 27:08.820 But does that mean that afterwards, 27:08.820 --> 27:09.660 or if you survive that, 27:09.660 --> 27:11.380 oh, I was wrong for going out soul winning? 27:11.380 --> 27:13.900 No, because the ends don't justify the means. 27:13.900 --> 27:14.940 You have to look at your integrity 27:14.940 --> 27:16.420 and see what the Bible says, 27:16.420 --> 27:19.260 engage your actions based on. 27:19.600 --> 27:24.600 The morality of just on their own versus what they would yield you. 27:24.600 --> 27:26.320 If that makes sense. 27:26.320 --> 27:33.680 And so another verse I would like you guys to go to is Romans chapter 5. 27:33.680 --> 27:35.480 Romans chapter 5. 27:35.480 --> 27:36.480 And so... 27:36.480 --> 27:36.800 Thanks for watching! 27:37.100 --> 27:51.100 I guess the end it all here and wrap it up nicely is just the general idea is that I plead with all of you guys that if any, I know sometimes we have each of us have our own trials and temptations and times, hard battles and hard struggles where we don't know when we're going to get delivered. 27:51.100 --> 28:00.100 But I guess the real piece is that unfortunately in this world, you can't review, you can't look at carnal things and see if you really made it in life. 28:00.100 --> 28:05.100 Because at one point, like you can be nebuchadnezzar just praising yourself all day and then you're all of a sudden a beast in the field. 28:05.100 --> 28:08.740 or you could be doing everything right and then just have your life taken early. 28:08.740 --> 28:12.460 And so the thing is is that to know if you're right with God and then know if 28:12.460 --> 28:16.420 you have that peace with you every day is to say like I walked in my integrity. 28:16.420 --> 28:19.900 Right? That's what it matters. That's what's right. When you have 5,000 people 28:19.900 --> 28:23.860 telling you that you're wrong, it's like no, I did what the Bible said and I know 28:23.860 --> 28:28.340 I'm justified. And so to end it all I just wanted to go to verse 3 of Romans 28:28.340 --> 28:33.100 5 and says, and not only so, but we glory in tribulations also. 28:33.100 --> 28:35.020 knowing that tribulations work with patience, 28:35.020 --> 28:37.620 and patience experience, and experience hope. 28:37.620 --> 28:39.460 And hope maketh not ashamed, 28:39.460 --> 28:41.960 because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts 28:41.960 --> 28:44.140 by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 28:44.140 --> 28:47.340 And so just to, this idea of what I wanted to give to you 28:47.340 --> 28:49.300 with this verse is that, 28:49.300 --> 28:52.960 how can you grow in faith and in love of God 28:52.960 --> 28:55.000 if he never had to deliver you from anything? 28:55.000 --> 28:59.000 So the thing is, we shouldn't wish to have easier lives, right? 28:59.000 --> 29:02.640 A parent for their children isn't trying to make the world a safer place. 29:02.640 --> 29:04.840 It's to prepare their children for the world. 29:04.840 --> 29:09.880 And so God is preparing us through trials and tribulations, and I pray that all of us 29:09.880 --> 29:11.280 show forth as gold. 29:11.280 --> 29:12.280 But yeah. 29:12.280 --> 29:13.280 Brother, hope. 29:18.700 --> 29:23.700 Turn to Psalm 95, please. Psalm 95. 29:30.800 --> 29:34.800 I just want to thank Pastor Oz for the opportunity for the men's preaching night to be able to get up and preach. 29:34.800 --> 29:40.800 Psalm 95, as you're turning there while I get mic'd up. 29:40.800 --> 29:50.800 Psalm 95 is a great chapter of the Bible that if you want to look into one chapter to get a lot of encouragement for singing, 29:50.800 --> 29:52.800 it's Psalm 95 in my opinion. 29:52.800 --> 29:57.800 And that's really the message that I have this evening is, let us sing. 29:58.100 --> 30:05.040 Let us sing now look at Psalm 95 verse 1 it says oh come let us sing 30:05.460 --> 30:09.540 Under the Lord let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation 30:09.620 --> 30:15.980 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms 30:16.020 --> 30:22.660 Let me help you out with something that I think a lot of people forget we are commanded to sing at church 30:22.980 --> 30:25.700 Now there's two points of this that I want you to gives the 30:26.100 --> 30:29.780 You know, it's a prosodic, or excuse me, emphatic stress, right? 30:29.780 --> 30:34.460 Meaning where your emphasis is on the word in the sentence changes what the sentence means. 30:34.780 --> 30:39.100 I've used an example before like, I didn't say she took my money is a different meaning 30:39.100 --> 30:41.580 than I didn't say she took my money. 30:41.900 --> 30:44.640 Both of those are the same words, but they mean two different things. 30:44.920 --> 30:49.880 Now, I believe there are two truths at a minimum in verse one that we can get 30:49.880 --> 30:51.680 if we use stress the right way. 30:51.920 --> 30:52.480 Notice this. 30:52.480 --> 30:54.080 Oh come, let, oh! 30:54.100 --> 30:57.420 Let us sing unto the Lord. 30:57.420 --> 31:01.540 Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 31:01.540 --> 31:05.040 Verse 2, let us come before His presence with thanksgiving. 31:05.040 --> 31:07.260 You know what the Bible does not say in Psalm 95? 31:07.260 --> 31:11.940 It did not say, let Cameron sing. 31:11.940 --> 31:13.520 I'm just being real with you. 31:13.520 --> 31:17.380 It did not say, let Pastor Oz praise Him on the stringed instrument. 31:18.900 --> 31:21.660 It did not say, let those that are really trained 31:21.660 --> 31:23.120 and can read music really well, and they 31:23.120 --> 31:25.280 know what they're doing, and they have a music background, 31:25.280 --> 31:26.940 and you can keep a tune, and you've 31:26.940 --> 31:28.380 got to know the song pretty well, 31:28.380 --> 31:30.300 and make sure that you're singing at the right. 31:30.300 --> 31:33.300 It says, let us sing, folks. 31:33.300 --> 31:36.580 And here's the other stress, let us sing. 31:36.580 --> 31:37.940 Sing. 31:37.940 --> 31:40.740 I don't ever, ever, ever want people 31:40.740 --> 31:42.780 to refrain themselves from singing. 31:42.780 --> 31:43.700 It's a commandment. 31:44.000 --> 31:46.160 And you're like, well, is this really a commandment though for church? 31:46.160 --> 31:47.560 Should I just be singing like in my own time? 31:47.560 --> 31:48.600 OK, verse 2. 31:48.600 --> 31:52.160 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving. 31:52.160 --> 31:54.360 Hey, where two or three are gathered together in my name, 31:54.360 --> 31:55.360 I am there in the midst of him. 31:55.360 --> 31:55.800 You know what? 31:55.800 --> 31:57.600 If you show up to church and one other person's there, 31:57.600 --> 31:59.200 you better be singing. 31:59.200 --> 32:02.480 And I hear this excuse all the time from people, which is so funny to me, 32:02.480 --> 32:03.900 because I'm not a good singer. 32:04.000 --> 32:05.840 I know music, sure. 32:05.840 --> 32:07.280 I could play drums or something. 32:07.280 --> 32:08.960 Yeah, I don't feel like I sing well. 32:08.960 --> 32:09.960 But you know what? 32:09.960 --> 32:15.140 I don't see anywhere in the Bible where there's a criteria for how well I have to sing to 32:15.140 --> 32:16.520 sing out to God. 32:16.520 --> 32:20.840 Here's what I can promise you as a song leader that I get up and do every Sunday morning, 32:20.840 --> 32:22.000 Sunday night, and Wednesday. 32:22.000 --> 32:24.280 I sing until my voice cracks. 32:24.280 --> 32:26.360 I sing until my voice fails. 32:26.360 --> 32:27.720 But I'm singing to the Lord. 32:28.200 --> 32:30.440 That's what I can promise you. I can't promise that it's right 32:30.440 --> 32:33.800 I can't promise that I'm gonna hit it just like you did in your old life be that you grew up 32:33.800 --> 32:37.340 I can't promise that the way that I sing it is how you've always heard it 32:37.340 --> 32:39.340 I can't promise that it's always gonna be correct 32:39.840 --> 32:43.400 Pretty close, but what I can promise you is that I'm going to sing 32:44.320 --> 32:51.680 Let us sing look it says make a joyful noise in verse 2 you know pro singer is needed 32:52.700 --> 32:57.180 Have you ever been happy and you're just like, yeah, what note was that?

35:36.640 --> 35:38.240 This made me really mad one time. 35:38.240 --> 35:40.280 It's not currently an issue. 35:40.280 --> 35:42.520 But there was a family that attended this church. 35:43.200 --> 35:46.640 And their kids would come in and their kids would sing. 35:46.640 --> 35:49.040 And let me tell you what, their kids were not good singers. 35:49.040 --> 35:49.880 I'm just telling y'all, I'm just being, 35:49.880 --> 35:51.080 I'm not a good singer either. 35:51.080 --> 35:53.840 But they would sing loud and they would sing it out. 35:53.840 --> 35:56.560 And I remember looking at other people in the church 35:56.560 --> 35:58.680 while they were singing that during service, 35:58.680 --> 36:00.740 they would not sing and they would point and laugh 36:00.740 --> 36:02.240 and sneer at these other children 36:02.240 --> 36:03.840 that were singing out loud to the point 36:03.840 --> 36:05.520 that it made the kids stop singing. 36:05.520 --> 36:07.320 Let me tell you what, that pisses me off, 36:07.320 --> 36:08.720 but it's not me that you should be worried about. 36:08.720 --> 36:10.000 That pisses God off. 36:10.400 --> 36:12.400 You're not right with God. 36:12.400 --> 36:17.280 And look, as a parent, you should never think that you have to restrain your child from 36:17.280 --> 36:18.280 singing. 36:18.280 --> 36:19.280 Let them sing it out! 36:19.280 --> 36:23.880 The Bible says, out of the mouth of babes and sucklings has thou perfected praise. 36:23.880 --> 36:27.960 Like hello, the kids know how to sing it out because they're not worried about sounding 36:27.960 --> 36:28.960 bad. 36:28.960 --> 36:30.280 They love the music! 36:30.280 --> 36:32.120 They like to sing it out! 36:32.120 --> 36:35.280 And then somehow we get to our teenage years or our adult years and we're just like, I 36:35.280 --> 36:36.280 don't want to sing anymore. 36:36.500 --> 36:38.100 You know why? Because you're prideful. 36:38.100 --> 36:42.700 Because you care more about your voice and how you sound, rather than lifting up your voice unto God. 36:42.700 --> 36:45.900 And look, I didn't give you this sermon Sunday AM before the morning. 36:45.900 --> 36:48.900 You've already lost your opportunity to sing out to God today, 36:48.900 --> 36:51.300 with the exception of one more song that we'll sing together tonight. 36:51.300 --> 36:54.600 This is not something that I'm giving you for a today only, 36:54.600 --> 36:56.600 oh, let's fix it because it just got brought up, 36:56.600 --> 36:58.800 oh, I don't want to stand out now, I better do it. 36:58.800 --> 37:01.100 You need to fix this going forward for your life. 37:01.200 --> 37:05.080 And you know what, yesterday I didn't even, I told no one I was preaching this sermon 37:05.080 --> 37:06.080 ever. 37:06.080 --> 37:08.880 I mean last night when I was writing this my wife was the first person that knew, but 37:08.880 --> 37:11.000 I knew I'd been thinking about this, I'd been thinking about it. 37:11.000 --> 37:14.840 We're out soul winning yesterday with brother Dan and brother Tristan and Tristan's just 37:14.840 --> 37:18.040 going door to door just singing, singing, singing. 37:18.040 --> 37:19.440 And you know what it made me do? 37:19.440 --> 37:20.440 Start singing. 37:20.440 --> 37:21.660 And you know what it made Dan do? 37:21.660 --> 37:23.060 Start singing. 37:23.060 --> 37:27.040 Because it's got to take sometimes the kids to wake up the adults to realize that we should 37:27.040 --> 37:28.640 be singing out to the God of the universe. 37:29.000 --> 37:30.840 And you know, that's a shame on the adults. 37:30.840 --> 37:32.440 We should be setting the standard. 37:32.440 --> 37:34.760 I'm just admitting, I was not singing at the door. 37:34.760 --> 37:36.480 And look, you don't have to know all the words 37:36.480 --> 37:38.760 because we're getting like cold door after cold door 37:38.760 --> 37:41.320 and marching on for some reason had been like hummed. 37:41.320 --> 37:43.200 And we're just like cold door, cold door, 37:43.200 --> 37:44.840 atheist, atheist, atheist. 37:44.840 --> 37:48.280 And Tristan, the song is marching on, marching on. 37:48.280 --> 37:51.600 Tristan just starts singing, moving on, moving on, 37:51.600 --> 37:53.260 which is hilarious because like, 37:53.260 --> 37:55.460 it's still what God tells us to do. 37:55.500 --> 38:01.420 It's still true and he's singing his heart out to God as we're going and soul winning and you think it's any shock 38:01.420 --> 38:06.780 That a spirit field 11 year old that's out preaching the gospel is also going to be the one setting an example for the adults 38:06.780 --> 38:09.060 And how to sing I don't think it's a coincidence 38:10.460 --> 38:13.140 You know the Bible says keep your place here. I want to look at a couple other 38:13.140 --> 38:19.440 We're gonna be back, but turn if you would to Exodus well actually don't do that stay in psalm 95 Exodus 4 verse 11 38:19.440 --> 38:21.980 I'll just read to you. It says in the Lord sent it to him who had made man's mouth 38:22.900 --> 38:26.340 It's like this idea of like, oh, I can't sing because you didn't make my voice. 38:26.340 --> 38:27.340 You know, it's us. 38:27.340 --> 38:28.980 It's congregational singing. 38:28.980 --> 38:31.280 And you know, some of you have never been to like the men's retreat. 38:31.280 --> 38:32.280 And I understand that. 38:32.280 --> 38:36.140 But like when you go to the men's retreat or you go to a big church, like I remember, 38:36.140 --> 38:41.300 you know, red hot back in the day when you just have like 300, 400 people in an auditorium 38:41.300 --> 38:43.500 singing out loud, man, that's awesome. 38:43.500 --> 38:44.500 But you know what it takes? 38:44.500 --> 38:48.660 It takes every one of those people to purpose in their heart to sing out to God. 38:49.200 --> 38:54.180 And this church could sing out to God and sound great with 40 people. 38:54.180 --> 38:57.660 The reason why it doesn't is because you're not singing. 38:57.660 --> 39:01.740 And I'm just telling you that you're not because I lead the music and I know you're not singing. 39:01.740 --> 39:06.680 I didn't write Psalm 95. 39:06.680 --> 39:07.980 Don't be mad at me. 39:07.980 --> 39:10.180 I'm just saying what the Bible says. 39:10.180 --> 39:11.900 Let us come to church and sing. 39:11.900 --> 39:12.400 Us! 39:12.900 --> 39:17.900 You think it feels good for me to get up and sing by myself a solo every time if no one sings? 39:17.900 --> 39:20.900 I'm not saying no one sings, but I'm just saying like generally speaking, 39:20.900 --> 39:25.900 when my voice is failing, when I've been out soul winning and I sing, and I have to sing it out, 39:25.900 --> 39:27.900 I can't take like a one verse break. 39:27.900 --> 39:29.900 And look, I'm not saying that you can't sit out if your voice is crackable. 39:29.900 --> 39:31.900 I'm just saying like, I can't do that. 39:31.900 --> 39:34.900 I know what you're feeling sometimes, but it's embarrassing. 39:34.900 --> 39:40.600 But I'm up here trying, giving it my all, not for you and not for me, but for God. 39:40.800 --> 39:44.000 And that should be our motivation. 39:44.000 --> 39:44.800 Why do we sing? 39:44.800 --> 39:46.100 One, we're commanded to sing at church. 39:46.100 --> 39:49.300 We are commanded to sing at church. 39:49.300 --> 39:50.500 There's just three points right there. 39:50.500 --> 39:52.600 We can close our Bibles and go home, but we're not. 39:52.600 --> 39:53.800 Here's another reason why we sing. 39:53.800 --> 39:56.200 We sing because God is great above all. 39:56.200 --> 39:57.900 When you think about why you're singing, 39:57.900 --> 40:01.300 you're singing for the creator of the universe, literally. 40:01.300 --> 40:03.600 Verse 3 in Psalm 95, why are we singing? 40:03.600 --> 40:04.500 Why is this commandment? 40:04.500 --> 40:06.700 Verse 3, for the Lord is a great God 40:06.700 --> 40:08.600 and a great King above all gods. 40:08.800 --> 40:13.380 In His hand are the deep places of the earth, and the strength of the hills is His also, 40:13.380 --> 40:15.800 the sea is His, and He made it. 40:15.800 --> 40:17.440 And His hands formed the dry land. 40:17.440 --> 40:20.740 O come, let us worship and bow down. 40:20.740 --> 40:24.960 Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for He is our God. 40:24.960 --> 40:30.700 And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand today, if you will hear 40:30.700 --> 40:31.700 His voice. 40:31.700 --> 40:34.120 Psalm 18 verse 3, you don't have to turn there, I'll just read it for you. 40:34.120 --> 40:36.800 It says, I will call upon the Lord who is worthy. 40:36.800 --> 40:38.540 for thee to be praised." 40:38.540 --> 40:41.900 You know when you refrain yourself from singing what you're really saying in your heart, just 40:41.900 --> 40:46.500 like the person in 1 John 5 who will not accept that salvation is eternal because they're 40:46.500 --> 40:50.080 calling God a liar because they're not receiving the record in 1 John 5? 40:50.080 --> 40:51.740 It's not that they're saying, God, you're a liar. 40:51.740 --> 40:54.900 It's because what's in their heart, they're refusing to accept what the Bible teaches. 40:54.900 --> 40:58.500 Therefore, the Bible says in 1 John 5, if you reject eternal security, you're calling 40:58.500 --> 40:59.500 God a liar, right? 40:59.500 --> 41:00.500 We understand this. 41:00.500 --> 41:01.500 We use this verse at soul winning. 41:01.500 --> 41:01.700 you 41:01.800 --> 41:05.240 The Bible says in Psalm 18.3 that the Lord is worthy to be praised. 41:05.240 --> 41:08.600 When we're commanded to sing out at church, you come to church and you don't sing, 41:08.600 --> 41:11.320 what you're saying in your heart is, God is not worthy for me to sing for him. 41:11.320 --> 41:11.800 Right. 41:11.800 --> 41:15.960 That is what you are saying in your heart. I'm not saying that you're saying God's not worthy 41:15.960 --> 41:19.800 with your mouth, but you certainly are with your heart. And the Bible says that we should 41:19.800 --> 41:23.800 be singing and making melody in your heart. Look, even if you don't think you can hit it 41:23.800 --> 41:26.760 with your mouth, your heart knows what the right melody is, and that's the melody that 41:26.760 --> 41:28.200 God is listening to anyway. 41:29.400 --> 41:35.620 Here's my last point for this evening, refusal to sing provokes God's wrath. 41:35.620 --> 41:39.400 Refusal to sing provokes God's wrath. 41:39.400 --> 41:41.620 Verse 8 in Psalm 95. 41:41.620 --> 41:47.300 Now look, I do not think Psalm 95 verse 8, we're just totally switching context. 41:47.300 --> 41:48.840 It has nothing to do with singing. 41:48.840 --> 41:51.440 Now we're just only looking at a totally unrelated thing. 41:52.400 --> 41:57.400 No, verse 8, harden not your heart as in the provocation and as in the day of temptation 41:57.400 --> 41:58.400 in the wilderness. 41:58.400 --> 42:02.820 Now obviously, it's giving us an example like the children of Israel in the Old Testament 42:02.820 --> 42:05.860 were rebellious and they did harden their heart. 42:05.860 --> 42:08.540 But we're not just changing, we're not talking about singing anymore, now we're just talking 42:08.540 --> 42:09.540 about the Old Testament for no reason. 42:09.540 --> 42:12.020 No, no, no, it's saying don't harden your heart to what? 42:12.020 --> 42:12.520 Singing. 42:12.900 --> 42:19.940 Don't harden your heart to lifting up the Lord in song, like or as in the provocation 42:19.940 --> 42:22.660 and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness. 42:22.660 --> 42:26.540 Verse 9, when your fathers tempted me, improved me, and saw my work, forty years long was 42:26.540 --> 42:31.460 I grieved with this generation and said it is a people that do err in their heart. 42:31.460 --> 42:31.780 Notice that. 42:32.100 --> 42:36.940 and they have not known My ways, unto whom I swear in My wrath that they should not enter 42:36.940 --> 42:37.940 into My rest." 42:37.940 --> 42:40.780 You know, it's interesting to me that God was so long-suffering and for 40 years it 42:40.780 --> 42:44.260 says He grieved the generation that was so rebellious in the wilderness. 42:44.260 --> 42:47.220 And I wonder how many years God has been grieved with your rebellious heart that you won't 42:47.220 --> 42:48.220 sing at church. 42:48.220 --> 42:51.140 Because He says it's just like that. 42:51.140 --> 42:52.380 It's just like that. 42:54.100 --> 42:58.180 Ephesians 5 19 says, notice it said, air in their heart. 42:58.180 --> 42:59.180 If you want to turn there you can. 42:59.180 --> 43:01.140 I'm going to try to wrap this up pretty quickly though. 43:01.140 --> 43:05.260 Ephesians 5 19, the Bible says, speaking to yourself in Psalms and hymns and spiritual 43:05.260 --> 43:09.860 songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. 43:09.860 --> 43:13.620 Now the Bible just said in Psalm 95 that these people that are rebellious, that are grieving 43:13.620 --> 43:15.300 the Lord, they're doing it in their heart. 43:16.200 --> 43:19.840 When you come to church and you're not ready to sing out, you're grieving God in your heart 43:19.840 --> 43:21.360 because you're just like, well, God's not worthy. 43:21.360 --> 43:22.360 Well, I don't know. 43:22.360 --> 43:23.860 Well, I'm blaming God for my problems. 43:23.860 --> 43:24.860 I don't have a great voice. 43:24.860 --> 43:26.640 Therefore, I'm not singing. 43:26.640 --> 43:27.640 He's grieved. 43:27.640 --> 43:31.960 Colossians 3.16 says, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching 43:31.960 --> 43:36.880 and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace 43:36.880 --> 43:39.080 in your hearts to the Lord. 43:39.080 --> 43:41.320 Turn to Psalm 57 and we'll wrap up this evening. 43:41.320 --> 43:42.320 Psalm 57. 43:42.320 --> 43:43.880 Look, let us sing. 43:44.500 --> 43:47.300 As we go to our last song this evening, let's sing it out. 43:47.300 --> 43:50.300 We're going to sing all four verses of that last pick, but let us sing. 43:50.300 --> 43:52.500 And you want to know how your heart is right with God? 43:52.500 --> 43:54.800 Psalm 57 verse 7. 43:54.800 --> 43:56.700 Psalm 57 verse 7 says this, 43:56.700 --> 43:58.400 My heart is fixed, O God. 43:58.400 --> 43:59.600 My heart is fixed. 43:59.600 --> 44:03.300 Notice, I will sing and give praise. 44:03.300 --> 44:05.000 You want to be able at the end of the sermon to go, 44:05.000 --> 44:07.500 You know what? I'm going to fix my heart right now. 44:07.500 --> 44:09.100 I'm going to fix this issue that I have. 44:09.400 --> 44:14.400 I wasn't singing all day. I kind of phoned it in. I really wasn't giving it my all. 44:14.400 --> 44:20.400 You want to say, my heart's fixed, God. I will sing and give thee praise. 44:20.400 --> 44:24.400 Now that's my time, but let's go ahead at this point and go to our last hymn for the evening. 44:24.400 --> 44:26.400 I need a pick.
