IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM

PSALM 115

Pastor Rick Jackson                                       

 

I. THE GLORY IS GOD’S [v. 1-8]

1. Not Ours [v. 1a]

2. For His Mercy [v. 1b, Romans 15:9]

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

3. For His Reality [v. 1c-8]

 

II. THE HELP IS GOD’S [v. 9-14]

1.  For Israel [v. 9, 12a, Romans 11:1-5]

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

2. For Aaron [v. 10, 12b, 118:3]

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

3.  For Them that Fear Him [v. 11, 13-14]

 

III. THE PRAISE IS GOD’S [v. 15-18]

1. Praise Him for Creation [v. 15-16]

2. Praise Him in this Life [v. 17]

3. Praise Him Forever [v. 18]
