<p>On June 24th 2022, family and friends gathered from both near and afar to celebrate the life and legacy of Linda Webster.<br><br>Psalm 16:7-8<br> "I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

<p>Psalm 9:1-12 is part 1 of Psalm 9.<br>Decisions, Justice, and Promises are the themes for these 12 verses.<br>1) Decisions: Verses 1-2 hold "I Will" statements.<br>2) Justice: Verses 3-8; God's justice, not an individual's sense of justice. <br>3) Promises: Verses 9-12; promises in times of trouble.</p>

<p>Question:<br>"How do you know that God is real?"<br><br>Four Reason to know that God is real:<br>1) Creation<br>2) Scripture<br>3) Holy Spirit<br>4) Memorial Stones<br>Psalms 19:1-3<br><br>"If God knows the starts by name, He definitely knows your name. You are one of nearly eight billion people in the world which is like a grain of sand on the seashore. We are fortunate that God thinks about us and cares for us."</p>

<p>"Elite Integrity" is the title for the sermon out of Psalm 7.<br><br>Pastor Herb's outline:<br>1) The Innocent (v. 1-11)<br>2) The Guilty (v. 12-16)<br><br>We as Christians should plan to be wrongfully accused. Scripture warns us about it, so we need to be prepared and have a scriptural response. Our God is the righteous judge and David's response was to pray to that righteous judge and not retaliate himself. <br>"When you have integrity, you have nothing to hide."<br>David ends the Psalm by thanking the Lord for His righteous judgement. He does not give thanks for his unfortunate circumstances. There's our model.</p>

<p>The Outline:<br>1) One Big Prayer (v. 1-7)<br>2) Genuine Repentance (v. 8-10)<br><br>"David knows he needs correction, but he does not want to experience God's fury." God is merciful and doesn't always punish us for sin but most of the time there are still consequences. "David models genuine repentance from sin. Now, the Lord will answer his prayer and save him from death."<br><br>Pastor Herb's prayer is that "we are more concerned with pleasing God than we are with self-preservation."</p>

<p>Well known speaker on Bible Prophecy, Bill Salus is our speaker this morning, May 1st, 2022.<br>He is the founder of "Prophecy Depot Ministries" , He is a Bestselling Author, Researcher, Speaker and Media Personality.<br> Bill speaks to how current events in the middle east are lining up with prophecy's out of Ezekiel 38 & 39, and how the U.S. might be playing a part as the "Young Lions"</p>

<p>Today's sermon outline:<br>1. (v. 1-7)<br>2. (v. 8-12)<br>Verse 3 contains the main points of how to "hone your prayer life" and learn to pray with excellence.<br>1) Pray in the morning<br>2) Prepare a sacrifice (arrange your prayer)<br>3) Watch (pray and watch, instead of pray and worry)</p>

<p>Happy Easter 2022. <br><br>Pastor Herb has broken this message into three sections.<br>1) Herb's Emergency Call - Psalm 4:1<br>2) David's Emergency Call- Psalm 4:2-8<br>3) Jesus' Emergency Call- Psalm 22:1-2, 16-18<br><br>Hebrews 9:22 "...without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins."<br>Put your trust in the Lord! Jesus died for you. Jesus Christ was the final sacrifice for sin!<br>A big takeaway from today is that "a heart filled with scripture and compassion will bring you joy and peace."</p>

<p>"Safety From Enemies" is what Psalm 3 is all about. <br>There are many editorial comments from different translations of the Bible - however the following sub-title "A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son." is part of scripture and doesn't change across the translations.<br><br>"Selah" is used throughout the Psalms and means to pause or praise.<br>After verses 1-2, is the word Selah, and then in verse 3 David shifts his focus from his enemies to God. <br>Taking moments to pause allows God to speak to us.<br><br>God answers our prayers in His perfect timing. (Yes, No, Wait)<br>In this Psalm, God answered David's prayers.<br>1) David slept (no anxiety)<br>2) David woke up (was not killed in his sleep)<br>3) David is not afraid. (confident in God's protection/plan)<br><br>David also had compassion on his enemies, forgiving them.<br><br>Join us next Sunday on Easter to celebrate the risen Savior, Jesus Christ!</p>

<p>Psalms 1-2 is the Preface into the whole book of 150 poems. The 2nd Psalm will show a revolt of the wicked against God.<br>Outline:<br>1) Persecuted Christians (v.1-3)<br>2) Promises of God (v. 4-12)<br><br>"People in high places are plotting against God and his Anointed Son.<br>Luke identifies David as the author of the Psalm and plainly states that Jesus is the Anointed (4:23-31) which leaves no doubt that Psalm 2 is written about Jesus!<br><br>Verses 10-12 close with a warning to the wicked to fear God. "the wicked will get a divine whooping like an iron rod shattering a clay pot. The righteous will be safe on the holy hill of Zion.<br>Psalm 1 & 2 are a picture of the gospel!</p>

<p>The Psalms will give you wisdom for every situation in your life.<br>"Psalm 1 is the doorway or preface psalm that sets the tone for the entire book."<br><br>"Meditation is to think about what the WORD means for your life." God will illuminate the application.<br>Listen for transformation, not just information.<br><br>Recalling the story of Joseph, Pastor Herb reminds us we may experience painful moments that bring us close to God. Joseph told his brothers "What you meant for evil, God meant for good" (Gen. 50:20) God blessed Joseph.<br><br>"Who is the blessed man in Psalm One? Jesus is the only person who perfectly meets the description. We were all chaff, but we have become fruitful through Christ."</p>

<p>Pastor Al's main scripture is Acts 2:47-27. <br>Here are a couple main points:<br><br><br>1.) As Christians we are always going to give a witness. It's our choice it that's going to be a good witness or a bad witness. By grace we hopefully give a good witness more often than not.<br>2.) Fellowship for Believers is biblical and in the midst of that we need to extend the grace we've been given.</p>

<p>Today's main scripture is out of Genesis 9:12-17. The "Rainbow" was a promise given by God to never destroy the earth again by water. <br>Today, Pastor Jonathan gives additional understanding to the "Rainbow".<br>One is that "It is a picture of Jesus".<br><br><br>The colors of the rainbow are representative of many truths but the color Red, representing the blood of Jesus, is powerful. God looks through that first color (red being the top color of the rainbow) at His children here on earth, redeemed by the blood of Jesus if we accept His forgiveness for our sin.</p>
