    The Absence Of God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010

     | 13,071 views

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

    Jesus quotes the first line of Ps22 but evokes the entire Psalm as an expression of what he’s experiencing at that moment. His experience of abandonment is tempered by his faith in the God who saves.

    This page contains the entire service but without the poems by Nell Hodgson for which I do not yet have copyright release or the Audiovisual Meditation (Powerpoint Presentation) which was too large to be included.

    Loneliness and feelings of abandonment can rob us of life’s joys. The Bible offers clear paths that we can take to overcome loneliness and regain the joy of life.

    Psalm 22:1-2, 19-21, 27-31 “Letting Go of Loneliness” INTRODUCTION In the book, Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean Auel, the main character Aila commits an unpardonable sin.

    There are many times in life when we feel alone and separated from God. The Scriptures, however, assure of of God’s constant presence and steadfast love.

    Psalm 22:1-5, 19-26 “Where Is God When We Need God?” INTRODUCTION One of the qualities of God with which humankind has always struggled is God’s hiddenness. God has certainly revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ. God’s love, forgiveness, and God’s desire to have a relationship with ...read more

    As you read this psalm, you see Jesus at Calvary: His cry to the Father; the period of darkness; the ridicule of the people; His thirst and pain; His pierced hands and feet; and the gambling for His clothes.

    3-26--05 Title: The Suffering Messiah Text: (Psalm 22) Introduction Of all the psalms dealing with the Lord’s great desire to save lost men and women, this is undoubtedly the best. It’s identified as a Messianic psalm (a psalm written about Jesus, the messiah) ...read more

    In his fourth word from the cross, Jesus expresses being forsaken by God. He points out to the exchange that happened that day: our sin on him, God's forgiveness on us. Our right response is to live thankful lives that count the cost of sin.

    Forsaken by God? Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 4 * Matthew 27:45-46 Have you ever been in a God-forsaken place? Maybe it was a TDY trip to the middle of nowhere. Worse yet, maybe it was a PCS! And the word “permanent” in permanent change of station becomes a curse. Or maybe your ...read more

    The account of Jesus' suffering and death on our behalf has become so familiar that if we are not careful we can skim right through it when reading the Bible and never give it a second thought. Let's look at it again to day with fresh eyes of wonder.

    Let's stand and read together our memory Scripture for this first quarter of 2018. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains ...read more

    Psalm 22: A Cry For Deliverance

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 12,108 views

    This messianic psalm is a psalm in which David, at a time in his life that was dark and seemed to be hopeless, cried on the Lord for deliverance and received it. David also, as a prophet, speaks of the Lord's suffering, death, and resurrection.

    INTRODUCTION I really love the psalms. Psalm after psalm we see the writers just pour out their hearts out to the Lord. No matter what their emotions and attitudes were, they approached their God with their concerns. We see psalms of praise glorifying the Lord for who He is and what He has done ...read more

    What does the Psalm of the Cross tell us about what Jesus Christ went through while on the cross? What exactly are the bulls of Bashan?

    Bulls of Bashan Ps. 22:12,13,16 12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my ...read more
