How does anyone bless God? It is strange sounding yet the Bible exhorts us to bless God and gives examples of people blessing him.Of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Psalm 103:1LORD is Yahweh, the personal covenant name of God.Psalm 104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.The meaning of words is directly connected to the context in which they used. When we speak of blessing such as "be blessed" to another person we are wanting that person to receive something they need or be enabled to accomplish something. But God has no needs! He is the all-sufficent all-mighty self-sustaining eternal holy sovereign one!Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. Deuteronomy 10:14So to bless God is to speak of God as he has revealed himself to be to God in praise or thanksgiving. We also can bless God by lifting him high above all to others in words that declare his works especially in the salvation of sinners such as ourselves.Two great examples of blessing God are given around the birth of the forerunner of the Messiah John the Baptizer. Mary the mother of the Lord Jesus, the incarnate Word offers her praise in Luke 1:46ff "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,...After John's birth his father blesses God Luke 1:67ff

One day when Jesus was engaged in prayer to his Heavenly Father one of his disciples asked him to teach them to pray. Luke 11:1-4 record this conversation. On another occasion when Jesus was instructing his disciples on the mountain side he gave them this prayer model, Matthew 6:9-13. This podcast gives an overview of the prayer by noting its two sections. The first section deals with the concerns of God, his honor and kingdom. The second section deals with our needs as his dependent children. God's glory and his will must always be our chief priorities, but our material and spiritual needs are also important to him. Let this prayer be a model and guide to you as you come before the Father in praise and petition.…

Jesus teaches his disciples to pray what we term "the Lord's Prayer," but is better named, "the Disciples Model Prayer."The prayer consists of 7 petitions which are easily divided into two sections. 1. That which concerns God's interest.2. That which concerns our needs as God's dependent children. Jesus teaches us first to be concerned about God's concerns. We ask the Father to do what only he can truly do. Sometimes we interpret these petitions as if they are commands for us to follow. They are not. Only God can truly make his name great, only he is the Holy One. The petition centers on two key words: "holy" and "name"The sermon today looks at both terms with special reference to God's revelation of his Name to Moses in Exodus chapter 3 and 34.The 3 petitions of the first section of the prayer are interconnected • Father, hallowed be your name.• Your kingdom come.• Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.These three sections all involve God's doing. He makes his name holy; he will bring about his kingdom and he will do his will on earth. "Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed." Revelation 15:4…

How should we pray? According to Jesus we must address our prayers to "Our Father". (Matthew 6:9ff; Luke 11:1-4)This episode explores the meaning of this expression both as to what conveys concerning our family relationship to God and fellow believers. But it also looks at a theological question on Jesus as the "only begotten Son" or "the one and only Son" and our being called sons of God. Devotion plus theology is embedded in this broadcast. Exposition leading to worship.…

How do Christians know God is our heavenly Father? It is to Jesus Christ himself that we are indebted for the chief revelation in the Bible, primarily in the Gospel of John, that God is the heavenly Father of his people. When we look at Jesus Christ, we look at the Father also. He is a kind Father who desires to give good gifts to his children. Christians do not stand before the heavenly Father isolated from the other people of God, but in union with them, the one body of Christ that both rejoices and suffers together. We bow before the Father in the name and because of the redeeming merit of our Lord Jesus Christ.…

Jesus gives instruction on praying by his own prayer practice and through instruction on the personal level in Luke 11 and in a more formal public instruction to the multitudes who followed in what we term the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6). From these two accounts with different contexts we can learn principles for praying.…

33:25The apostle Paul was in prison and he was writing a letter to the Christian believers at the church in Ephesus, a city in present day Turkey, and as he was writing and he was thinking about all that the Spirit of God had been prompting him to write, he was overwhelmed with the grandeur and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and what God had been doing among both the Jews and the Gentiles and so he places his writing quill down on the table and falls on his knees and begins to pray. That prayer is what we will be looking at today.…

15:00We often say to one another, "Pray for me." And we are urged, we are pushed to pray for one another. But what should we pray? Praying for the ups and downs and decisions in life certainly are matters for which we should turn to God for help and supply. God has concern for all his children's needs. The Bible through the examples of Paul would elevate our prayers to deeper concern. His prayers are rooted in the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and in the deep reality of conversion as a result of spiritual regeneration. One of these prayers is in Ephesians 3:14-19, "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Christian Standard Version)Paul adds many layers in his writing from all the fullness of God's saving work in Jesus Christ. These truths and spiritual realities are connected and often one thing leads to another. In this podcast my goal is to summarize two primary petitions Paul prayed for his fellow Christians and also for us as part of the group, "all the saints". Considering these petitions as ones made for me, I in turn now pray them for you."I pray that you will be strengthened by the Holy Spirit in your inner being.""I pray that you will be mentally and…

41:44The arrival of the Son of God, sent from heaven, to the land of Judea in ancient Palestine some 2,000 years ago was not an unexpected event. It did not catch everyone by surprise. Those who knew the ancient Hebrew scriptures had been looking for him, they were waiting for him. One of those people was an old man named Simeon. He believed that God would send a Deliverer, a Savior, for the people of God. He believed this because he believed the prophecies in the OT. Simeon's devotion to God and to his Word fueled his prayer life and his prayer, preserved by God for us, is a great model for us today.…

13:25Christians remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus, son of Mary. Traditionally this has been done throughout many centuries either on January 6 or December 25. The date of his birth is never revealed, but the fact of his birth is essential for the salvation of people. The death of the Messiah Jesus by crucifixion was decreed by God from all eternity. He is the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8, 1 Peter 1:19-20, Acts 2:23). In order for him to make the one real and sufficient sacrifice for sin it was necessary for the Word, the Son, to assume humanity in a mortal body. Although death had no claim on him he was born the sinless holy son of Mary in order that he might as a man in the prime of his life lay down his life in death on behalf of humans. All people die because they are born sinful in Adam. Because of the virgin birth through the power by the Holy Spirit Jesus was not born in Adam (Romans 5:16-19). Thus he could offer his sinless body as the sacrifice for the sins of his people (Hebrews 2: 10-15, Hebrews 10: 3-10, John 10:17-18, Isaiah 53). The hymnist Charles Wesley expressed it thusly:Christ, by highest Heaven adored;Christ the everlasting Lord;Late in time, behold Him come,Offspring of a virgin's womb.Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;Hail th' Incarnate Deity,Pleased as man with men to dwell,Jesus our Emmanuel. Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace!Hail the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings,Risen with healing in His wings.Mild He lays His glory by,Born that man no more may die.Born to raise the sons of earth,Born to give them second birth.…

Zechariah the aged father of John the Baptist has his voiced restored on the 8th day of the child's life. It happened at the moment of his naming following his circumcision. This speech is called the Benedictus and is easily divided into 2 parts. The first is a praise prayer declaring God's faithfulness in sending the Messiah as promised in the Abrahamic covenant and sworn to by God. The second part is a direct address to the newborn son named John who is God's appointed announcer of the Messiah who was even then in Mary's womb.…

This sermon looks at the two prayers of Hannah, the barren first wife of Elkanah. The first silent praying under her breath for a child and Eli thinking she was drunk. The second is her jubilant prayer of praise after the birth of Samuel. Her prayer of exaltation of God as the Deliverer, the Savior exalts God in his attribute of holiness. Her prayer is later echoed in the prayer of Mary the mother of Jesus.We can learn how to pray from the examples of people whose circumstances and prayers are recorded for us in Scripture. Hannah's prayer and Mary's similar prayer centuries later demonstrate the exaltation of God in worship though the declaration of his name and declaring his deeds.…

10:38All Christians at times encounter difficulty in praying. At such times it is important to understand that prayer starts with bring one's attention Godward. Genuine prayer begins inwardly before it is expressed outwardly. Believers have turned to the Psalms through the centuries to help them express their thoughts to God and to themselves and toward and with others. The Psalms gives us models of communication with God. Today we read-pray Psalm 3," Arise, O Yahweh!Save me, O my God! Salvation belongs to Yahweh."We can locate prayer when God is addressed directly by his name or roles. Sometimes the psalmist will engage in self talk and at other times people talk. The Psalms are dynamic in nature and should be read and prayed in this manner.…

51:52This ancient prayer of the prophet Isaiah was a cry for Yahweh to be merciful to his sinful people in remembrance of his covenant with Abraham to establish a people for himself. It is a plea for him to "come down" among them. This prayer was answered when the Father sent his Son to be incarnated and live, die, and rise for the salvation of his beloved ones. This prayer will be completed at Christ's Second Advent, "Come, Lord Jesus!"…
