Series: “Now Is a Good Time to Praise God” Scripture Reading: Psalm 67 Dr Page 1 of 2 Series: “Now is A Good Time to Praise God” Scripture Reading: Psalm 67 Dr. Sam Maxwell – Senior Teaching Pastor May 25, 2016 Topic One: “Holla if you know Him” Psalm 105:1, O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 2, Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Topic Two: "It's Time to Make Some Noise" Psalm 66:1, Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 2, Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3, Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. Topic Three: “Don’t ever lose you Praise” Psalm 34:1, I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2, My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3, O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Topic Four: “An Incredible God Deserves Incredible Praise” Psalm 100 Psalm 100:1, Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2, Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3, Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Topic Five: “If God’s been GOOD to you “SAY SO” Psalm 107:1, O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2, Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3, And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. Topic Six: “Let your Little Light Shine” Psalm 67 Numbers 6:22, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26, The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 27, And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Introduction: STARS show up at night. They burn bright all of the time… I. The Prayer: God’s People ought to pray unselfishly for His blessings. The Psalmist begins: Psalm 67:1, God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. We should long for God’s blessed Favor and rejoice as we market His Mercy to the world. Page 2 of 2 Romans 13:11, And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12, The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. It is time that we walk in the light and to lead others into the light of our Lord’s return. II. The Purpose: God’s people Appeal to the ungodly with our testimony of His favor. Psalm 67:2, That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. Those who seek God’s favor unselfishly have a God story to share with the world. The writer declares: Psalm 67:3, Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. We’re to seek God’s blessed Favor and rejoice as we market His mercy to the world. Romans 10:13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? People who don’t know Christ can only meet Him in conversation with Christian. Psalm 67:4, O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. 5, Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. People can only learn to rejoice and be glad in a faith community with sound Bible teaching. Ephesians 4:11b, And he gave some…pastors and teachers; 12, For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13, Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Perfecting saints work the ministry, thereby, building up the church as a testimony to Jesus. III. The Product: God’s people can then experience material and/or spiritual blessings. Psalm 67:6, Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. Seek God’s Favor unselfishly then market his mercy When He Bless you. Psalm 67:7, God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. God’s Light will shine as you walk unselfishly in His Amazing Grace. PRAYER: You have made us, O God, for deep, satisfying relationships because you are a relational God. Help me to bring joy into every context through humble attitudes and actions of love. Forgive me for being, at times, self-centered, looking out for only myself. Enable me to think of others first and to show your love toward them. In your loving name. Amen.. .

  • June 2020 Tidings
    June 2020 The Tidings From the Pastor’s Study June 2020 “By the rivers of Babylon— there we sat down and there we wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our harps. For there our captors asked us for songs, and our tormentors asked for mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How could we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?” - Psalm 137: 1-4 I am humbled by the way that the Psalms move from lament to prayer, despair to praise. I think that before I really understood the context of Psalm 137 I knew its power. It was set to Reggae music that played through the night in my college art studio and spoke to me again as I heard these words lifted up by Peter, Paul, and Mary. But when the words really gained life was as I spent enough time with the story of Israel to understand the despair of being exiled from home and needing to remember how to find joy and grounding in an un-chosen and un-welcome reality. For the Israelites, the Babylonians had laid siege to Jerusalem/Zion and had taken much of the population into that strange land by waves. The experience of trying to find God in the midst of that scattering, that diaspora state, becomes a powerful memory in the shaping of Judaism and then Christianity. Throughout history, God's people have sought God in those moments when their entire world was turned upside down. Of course, we find ourselves in another scattered state of being.

  • Michaelmas Term 2017 Chapel Services and Music MAGDALEN
    Michaelmas Term 2017 Chapel Services and Music MAGDALEN COLLEGE OXFORD COVER IMAGE: DETAIL FROM MAGDALEN COLLEGE LIBRARY MS LAT 5, A FIFTEENTH-CENTURY FRENCH BOOK OF HOURS We welcome you to our worshipping community at Magdalen. Prayer and praise have been offered to God in this place since the fifteenth century, when the College was founded by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester. The statutes of 1480 make provision for a Choir comprised of sixteen boy Choristers and a number of adult Clerks, ‘that the worship of God, from whom all good things come, might be increased more widely and better sustained’. That tradition continues unchanged today. The Choirmaster at Magdalen retains the ancient Latin title Informator Choristarum, and among those who have held the post over the centuries are John Sheppard, Daniel Purcell, Sir John Stainer, Sir William McKie, and, in more recent years, Dr Bernard Rose. It is the aim of the Dean of Divinity and the Informator Choristarum that all our services here should be dedicated to the glory of God. Our music is not an end in itself but part of a larger whole. We hope that in the singing and in the silence, in the spoken word and in the beauty of this house of God, you will feel that greater presence, and be blessed by the peace that passes all understanding. MARK WILLIAMS JONATHAN ARNOLD Informator Choristarum Dean of Divinity www.magdalencollegechoir.com www.magd.ox.ac.uk/chapel-and-choir MICHAELMAS TERM 2017 Choral Services Services are normally sung by Magdalen College Choir (men and boys).

  • THE ULTIMATE DISCONNECT Psalm 67
    For the Love of God The Ultimate Disconnect Dr. David Platt May 18, 2014 THE ULTIMATE DISCONNECT Psalm 67 February 5, 2006. It was my second Sunday preaching in this church. I was just filling in at that point. And I preached a sermon on this psalm entitled “The Ultimate Disconnect.” The reason I preached this psalm is because it, quite possibly more than any other chapter in the Bible, has shaped my understanding of my life and my family and God’s purpose for all of our lives in the world. I’ll never forget where I was sitting the first time I heard this psalm taught, and the way God used it to turn my life in a totally different trajectory. I really can’t over-emphasize the impact this psalm has had on my life. So when I was looking at the different psalms we’ve read together as a church over the last week, I knew I wanted to preach Psalm 67. The beauty, that I really didn’t realize until this last week, is how this psalm coincides with Psalm 66 before it and Psalm 68 after it. As many of you know, we’re in week 3 of our immersion in the Psalms as a faith family, and over a period of six weeks, every Sunday we’re looking at different psalms in different worship gatherings—oftentimes with different preachers. So last week I preached Psalm 51 at 9:00, Pastor Jim preached Psalm 52 at 11:00, and Pastor Matt preached Psalm 57 at 6:00.
