Psalm 92

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

92:2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

92:3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

92:4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

92:5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

92:6 A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:

92:7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

92:8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore.

92:9 For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

92:10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

92:11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

92:13 They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

92:14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

92:15 to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

POD - Psalm 79

Psalm 79

A Psalm by Asaph.

79:1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

79:2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.

79:3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.

79:4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

79:5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

79:6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; on the kingdoms that don't call on your name;

79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.

79:8 Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

79:9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.

79:10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.

79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

79:12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

79:13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.

Key Verses

2 John 8-11 - Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

BAM - Ephesians

New Testament

Book of Ephesians

Summarised in 1 Minute

Key Verses

Ephesians. 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.

Ephesians. 4:1-3 - I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Summary

In Ephesians, Paul discusses the position of Christians, comparing them with how they were originally born being separated from God and their new position in Christ now that they believe, and how it occurred. He talks about themes such as adoption, redemption, inheritance and citizenship. He then moves to the Christian, being equipped for service, to live a righteous life and the engagement in spiritual warfare.

BAM - Galatians

New Testament

Book of Galatians

Summarised in 1 Minute

Key Verses

Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Galatians 5:1 - Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Summary

Galatians centres on the conflict between grace and works in attaining salvation. In doing so, Paul writes about the Christian having faith in Jesus' work on the cross as the only means of salvation, rather than being held as a slave to the Law. He defends the gospel of grace, explains it and then applies it to the Christian walk by saying it is the believer's responsibility to serve one another.

2 Corinthians 4:5-6 - For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake; seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

Summary

BAM - 1 Corinthians

New Testament

Book of 1 Corinthians

Summarised in 1 Minute

Key Verses

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13 - Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall. No temptation has taken you except what is common to man

Summary

The Corinthians were an established church, taught by Paul, yet they had not absorbed the doctrine taught by him. Paul had a vested interest in them because of this. Members of the church were living sinful lives and this was expressed in many forms. Paul wrote to correct them, with the love of a pastoral heart. Paul also expounds great themes such as love and the resurrection.
