SERMON SEEDS ARCHIVES
PSALMS 101-150
Through no fault of our own, about 5 years of Sermon Seeds was deleted from the Website of the First Baptist Church.
We decided that it was time to begin archiving them in a different way.
Please be patient as we gradually archive these outlines.

PSALM 121 – THINGS TO REMEMBER
__________________________________________
PSALM 122 – THE PLACE TO BE
· I believe that Psalm 122 was written by David for the benefit of those who would come to Jerusalem during one of the feasts. Deuteronomy 16:16
· As Jerusalem was “The Place To Be” for worshipping Jews, I believe that the church is “The Place To Be” for believers. Hebrews 10:24-25
· The Psalmist received an invitation to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In the same manner, we should not be shy about inviting folks to join us in church.
· Why should it be a joy to come to church?
· What robs us of joy when we come to church? Ephesians 4:30-32, Philippians 4:2
· What part does the Holy Spirit have in making church joyful? Ephesians 5:17-19
· Perhaps the Psalmist was spending a moment to “take it all in”.
· Perhaps the Psalmist was meditating on the greatness of the city and God’s faithfulness to her.
· We should establish a sense of awe when we come to church. Deuteronomy 10: 14, 17, Isaiah 40:10-14, 25-26, Romans 11:33-36, Hebrews 4:1-4, 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 3:16
· Building projects abounded under David and Solomon.
· As walls were expanded and buildings built, there was a sense of order. It all seemed to “fit”.
· Church is to be a place of unity, where all fit, if they are true believers. Psalm 133, Romans 15:1-7, 1 John 2:19
· When must believers be excluded from fellowship for the sake of holiness and unity? 1 Corinthians 5:9-13
· All the tribes were together in the place where the Lord chose for a central place of worship. Deuteronomy 16:11
· The church is the place for fellowship today. Acts 2:42, Hebrews 11:24-25
· Jerusalem was the place of an organized government.
· Why is church government important?
· The church’s structure has three basic parts: congregation, elders, and deacons. Philippians 1:1, 1 Timothy 3:1-13
· These verses express a desire for peace within Jerusalem and peace for those who love the city.
· God is the God of peace. Romans 5:1, Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23
· God wants his children to live in peace with each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
· King David’s desire was that his people would be a secure people, and that Jerusalem would be secure.
· Because of persecutions and trials, the church is to be a place of security for God’s people. John 15:18-19, James 1:2-4
· True love produces a sense of security. John 15:9-15, 1 John 4:18-19
· Each believer is a temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 3:18, 6:19
· Wherever the church meets, it meets in “the house of the Lord our God”.

PSALM 127-128 – PROGRESS AND REWARDS (or PERKS)
Psalms 127 and 128 may be taught together or separately. In Psalm 127 we see the progress that can be made in our walk with God. In Psalm 128 we see the rewards or perks that come from serving Him faithfully.

PSALM 129-130 – AFFLICTED? WAIT ON THE LORD!
AFFLICTED? – Psalm 129
1. It is God’s responsibility to defeat the wicked. Psalm 9:17, Psalm 82:8, Revelation 20:7-15
WAIT ON THE LORD! – Psalm 130
This Psalm is actually one of 7 “penitential psalms”. While the enemy in Psalm 129 comes from without, the enemy in this Psalm is oneself. When I am overwhelmed with my failures, I have a place to come. For any problem, however, and not just sin, we can indeed wait on the Lord. Psalm 27:14

CHALLENGE TO OTHERS – Vss. 7-8
Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
