[Music] [Music] all right thank you pastor ray thank you for your worshiping with us for those of you worshiping with us online reading manga i do hope and pray now when you're worshiping with us let's be in the attitude of worship all right we're worshiping a living god you know netflix or documentary okay or the chosen reason okay so let's spin the attitude of worship okay and for those of you joining us but nevertheless this is the first time again that we're uh opening the place it was a saturday service so thank you for joining with us and if you're joining us for the first time whether online or on site we're ending the series okay but nevertheless um i've seen also some news i know the the world really are they're celebrating now i mean most western countries like in spain they're having these parties now in all parameters that is in new york is a fully vaccinated guy so they're all celebrating and all so hopefully tyrone de matinsa stage nagano take a picture or go to beat that ly for music edition 2021 to sign up for america everyone's excited okay but the point is i'm dominating we hear those reports celebrate right super spread event yeah and we're singing because there's no reason to celebrate muna right six thousand plus daily average now then and then you roll out a vaccination medium but then again what we're saying is in deeper time of celebrating um and our friend from vietnam also mentioned that so why will we celebrate this early okay and the reason why i'm saying that is because there's a story in the bible that we're going to talk about today just like these people we've been talking about this group of people the kingdom of judah for the past five weeks part and series god was encouraging them at this time all right to celebrate in fact through a song the kingdom of judah is in the middle of a huge crisis all right you know king ahaz they're surrounded by enemies and then he there's nothing to celebrate and yet chapter 12 of isaiah this is a celebratory song this is a song of rejoicing a song of praise and we're going to look at this chapter today man six verses lamborghini chapter 12. shout aloud and sing for joy people of zion wow shout aloud there's a looming destruction and then god was telling them shout aloud and sing for joy falling people lead them worship and all shout for joy and the people were saying ah we can cry but not shout of joy but maybe cry cry aloud per day so how can we sing all right look we were not allowed how can we sing aloud in the midst of crisis is there any reason why we can sing today we can worship or be rejoice have the heart of rejoicing in the midst of this pandemic how can we choose to praise god the bad news is because of what's going on around us right how can we choose to praise god you know i'll tell you something oftentimes god wants to change our hearts more than our circumstances we want our circumstances change right do you do if god is more interested in changing your heart to be more persevering to be more generous that in the midst of whatever situation we're going through right now god wants to change our hearts more than our situation right and and oftentimes that's that's that's our prayer change the situation change the situation but you know where faith comes in faith comes in when we decide to look beyond the present circumstances and today we're going to look at chapter 12 we're going to look at three things the reason why we can celebrate the response our response okay because of the reason that minigame bible and the reassurance so reason response reassurance three things let's jump to the reason why we can celebrate chapter 11 last week pastor um john ron preach a powerful preaching about holy spirit he talks about uh the coming messiah okay he talks about this coming messiah's king over all the earth so you put chapter 11 and then but faster than chapter 12 on that day you will say i will praise you oh lord after giving a glimpse of the future that there's going to be a messiah coming and just incase [Music] this is what we're going to say i will praise you lord all right when the day comes in abidon you're going to say i will praise you lord it starts with a decision not emotion okay but nobody i will some people say i will all right it's a settled attitude no more it's not up for discussion i will worship my god regardless the way that attention pros and cons and then we decide without looking back i will let's do this i will praise my god how about you have you decided to praise god or become a islam i don't know for those of you joining us online have really made a decision not based on emotion next trust our emotion that's why it's a decision regardless of sir comes and says we're going to say lord i choose to worship you and then here's the reason why we can worship god somebody thought also you were angry with me yeah all right this reflects yahweh's reaction to his covenant okay you covenant i'm gonna love you regardless loyal love or reunion word he said you knew faithful love okay but then again on the object of islam the israelites they kept on violating repeatedly worship god they put their trust in different gods and all but then again this verse is saying the worshiper decides to praise the lord even though he has felt the lord's anger against him whatever the lord is jealous and avenging god is apostasy they keep on worshiping other gods no man made gods whether it's gold or silver and god hates idolatry it's not just human rebulto it's it's it's where you put your trust into your iphone can be an idol your career can be an idol and god hates that he's jealous okay i'm jealous of you for example i love my wife we've been married for 25 years all right because i love her it's it's it's natural and and that kind of jealousy it's not selfish jealousy because the lover knew but and when god said i'm a jealous god it's for your own my own sake because when we worship and fall in love with other gods small letter g gods it will destroy us because the bible says you become who you worship mm-hmm the lord takes a venge on his adversaries and keeps his wrath for his enemies you know the word wrath is and then look at the verse verse five the mountains quake before him the mountains and the hills melt the earth trembles before him the world and all would dwell in it it's a picture of really nothing can stop god and then here's the question that he's posing who can withstand his indignation who can endure his fierce anger madrid [Music] accept jesus christ he's the only mediator between god and man and then somebody looks at verse six now verse chapter 1 verse 6 his wrath is poured out like fire the rocks are shattered before him grabbing the lord and sometimes we think sin is very light we take sin lightly i don't know maybe some of you here but i'm feeling more indiana anybody here you feel like you're ugliness i you're feeling more close knee god anybody here young i don't know maybe some of you here ok tv a man and a woman who's living in and they want their child dedicated and and and when you hear from their you know from their mouths they're trying to delay the with the med the wedding sometimes we take sin lightly isn't it i don't know better god hates sins and here's the reason why we can worship him look at the next verse number same verse chapter 12 verse 1. although you were angry with me your anger has turned away wow that's the reason why we can decide to praise and worship him and it's kind of weird because foreign [Music] big you know why because sin is costly now a lot of young god he hates sin so much in fact for the wages of sin is death you know why forgiveness is so rare because offense creates so much hurt somebody needs to carry that's the reason why we don't want to forgive because forgiveness is costly because somebody needs to carry the pain there's no such thing as kali no no somebody will carry the burden of the cause of the offense and sin is costly for the wages i've seen his death now somebody needs to pay somebody needs to shoulder the pain the cause of sin and the and the chapter is saying the the author is saying indiana galicia is a god god cannot overlook sin otherwise he won't be judged just [Music] and since we cannot pay for our sin our payment should be will go to hell but then jesus christ came redeem us and then pay for the penalty of our sins and then somebody though wrath young cup of his wrath remember when jesus was praying in the garden of gethsemane is it possible to take this cup away from me you put us in the poop just negate me god symbolically it's in a cup that he needs to you know to to to to to pour out and jesus christ at the cross shouldered all our sin from ebitda all the ways a future synagogue covered natalya because of what jesus did and that's the reason why the psalmist is saying [Music] yours your anger is not the mother not the other saints it's jesus christ the mediator yangpong major reason why the people of judah were being encouraged by isaiah rejoice rejoice because we know he's angry at us but he has turned his anger away from us so i don't know about you but sat in case not two thousand years ago and some of you here today you call yourself a christian if we keep on committing sins it's as if we don't know what happened at the cross and then and you have comforted me okay the hebrew word buddha gila meditator is a comfort okay really means the one you it means that one allows a person who has severe or external burden to breathe again then that's a picture here removing what has caused us distress and sin will eventually cause us to die so in conclusion means removing the burden some pressure from someone and thus ultimately helping them to breathe so you have comforted me sabrito uh that's a reason that's the reason why we can actually sing praise and again it's a choice some of you cannot see some of you can worship with us for some of you you're living in condemnation and sin how can god you know accept my singing and this verse is saying he has turned away his anger but the problem is do we have the faith to believe hindi nina galicia that's the reason why we can sing and praise him point number two our response knowing nasi lord tinangalde satan knowing that it was jesus who carried all our you know young rasatin deserving our response i love this ability verse 2 behold you writer behold he wants other to see what he's going to say he is excited about what god has done in his life this is true god is my salvation you know kings the king has focused they look at assyria as their salvation assyrians they are our salvation okay but we all don't back fire and the psalmist and the author is saying no no god is our salvation okay god is our salvation i don't know maybe some of you you're drowning in your salvation if you watch this video you uber driver he and his passengers needed to be rescued and sometimes i think him feeling nothing i and lo and behold we're now because of this pandemic now realize not that we cannot save ourselves we feel like we are our own savior and some of you you feel like maybe you don't need the salvation instead we think now but our god is a holy god and he's the only one who can save us i will trust i love this verse i will trust and not be afraid so sabina behold god is my salvation and here's his declaration here's his response i will again it's it's it's based on a decision i will trust and the opposite of trust is fear i will trust and not be afraid this is a confident statement reflecting the will of the worshipper you know what he's deciding listen up he's deciding to trust and not be afraid there are feelings of trust but that is different from decision to trust because it means your feelings of trust i don't know how i feel like i can trust god young decision to trust canina passover was exhorting us in giving many years ago i know tights is a christian you know it's it's a way of life for christians to give your tithes anybody here you feel like this you know this is not about the church this is about your heart because where your treasure is there your heart will be as well so sometimes we feel like i know i can trust god very value the decision to trust when we give our first tithe to god because that is and sometimes we have these feelings of trust decision to trust any single people in the house if you know that you know that you know if you remain sexually pure and holy before god's a relationship when he's a girlfriend more i know i have i will have a better marriage one day i'm going to wait and wait for the times as a video pastor jeff you may now kiss the bride and some of you your regrets my regrets are those times that indeed you can take my lord we say we trust him but we don't actually decide to trust him but this verse is saying i will trust and not be afraid when you put your trust in god lord baha'u'llah your will be done because we sometimes say we trust god but our actions you know tell otherwise himself is my strength my defense he has become my salvation what he's saying is not the assyrians not the silver and golds not the horses in the muslim kingdilla no no no the lord is our strength you know the verse that says the horses are made ready for battles but victory rests in the lord yes this verse is saying yes young strength i think i god that's not to say that you are my source you are my refuge and my resource examiner you're also my shield my defense and you have become my salvation claim i don't know it's easy to say when rubber meets the road when you're when you're faced with overwhelming reports how i wish i wish it's easy to say lord you are my strength will you keep trusting gay god and let's let's continue somebody thought psalm 27 when the lord is my life this is a very beautiful verse some of david the lord is my light and my salvation whom shall i fear the lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall i be afraid sometimes consumed of the fear nama offend young friend i'm offending my god because nico come from so sometimes we fear people rather than god this verse is saying lord you are my salvation after you you are the stronghold of my life i put everything in you and then tayana patipamato you are my stronghold and then as we draw to the end zabirito with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation you know if you've been to israel um you two people very scarcely into big modern day they can produce their own water because they made desalination sila and all but then again back then gulapo you assyrians they get water from the rivers young the egyptian they get water from nile river israel get their water from it's a sign of life and god is saying with joy you will draw water from the wealth of salvation there's going to be a lot of opportunity for you to trust god we're gonna trust in god for our salvation i love jeremiah 2 13 you love this verse my people have committed two sins have been a god blessed they have forsaken me the springs of living water and then the other one they have dug their own cease-turns broken cease-turns that cannot hold waters in your living water which is a god and then you try to dug your own balloon well which cannot hold water and tayo before we encounter god we try to draw life from anything or anyone else except my god i was once like that i thought material things could give me life i thought a relationship will give me life with other people i thought my career will give me life because they try to draw life from anyone or anything except god himself and this verse is saying you've forsaken the source of life which is god and you try to dig your own cistern or own well and it cannot hold waters and then as we and that's a declaration that lord you are my hope you are i will put my trust and i will not be afraid and then as we continue with the verse habit of verse 4 in that day you will say give praise to the lord proclaim his name make known among the nations what he has done and then listen to this very important after dao makar receive non-living water and you're trying to draw water from well of living water it will now overflow you're now going to not just proclaim but demonstrate but young gospel it's not just the proclamation of gospel it's also the demonstration of the gospel there's going to be a sense of mission sabbath is a verse 5 sin to the lord for he has done glorious things let this be known to all the world now go over flop and that's the reason why we have the flags here it continues with flags and we cannot put all the flags that we have presence in church nothing i believe in lascaux not that we are in more than 80 different nations all over the world we have 100 plus missionaries scattered all over all over the world and um because the goal is not just to reach out the gig or the philippines but to reach out the world in fact we were reached out by an american 30 plus years ago 1984 we were reached out the church was planted by an american a young american pastor the young heart not just to reach out the americans but to reach out the world and that's what we're doing now since then anglais is a victory a bible and a passport because we're meant we're called to reach out the whole world so sometimes i let the moon do nothing is born again it's all about us ah the bible you no longer live for yourself the the gospel is meant to be shared to all the world let me share this uh story this guy uh shitrun okay he's a vietnamese engineering student it's a ho chi minh city i was given a chance to go there for a 10 days mission you know i think mission uh for leaders so i headed the team there four years ago so we went there to duke as well so it's a university and one of our missionaries is jack okay jacob to say jack yeah that guy okay now off we're gonna go to campuses and they're going to offer free english so they want to learn english they want to talk to foreigners so if you say i'm going to teach you english so and then one day and invite me jax a community of believers not knowing this guy is being invited to a church gathering to a to a discipleship group and lo and behold christian because this guy is suicidal this guy has no hope in life this guy is just you know because he sobrang buddhist and all and damian and think anthony and he feels like sentient buhay because they believe in reincarnation and all but then when he was introduced to christ the one to one shall baptize and then a declaration of faith and then afterwards in less than a year he's now teaching in our church jesus to other students wow yes let's give god praise we cannot take things sitting down because satan is doing his job double time people are dying around you see this is because people are dying left and right and people are longing for something the mere eternal value and as christians you cannot you know be silent you have a powerful message hello apart from the gospel no one will be saved the good news so what are you doing your testimony is so unique you're the only one who can powerfully share it with testimony i don't know start where you are you have a powerful testimony look at nothing we're just going to sing a short song and then we're gonna pray afterwards the reassurance okay the reason why we can worship is because he's angry he turned away his anger he poured it out to his son now in response to that we're gonna we're gonna trust him we're going to praise him we're going to worship you we're not going to be afraid i'm going to put my trust in you and dearly as you run sabrina shout aloud and sing for joy people of zion why for great is the holy one of israel among you two reasons why why there's a reassurance that we can do this number one because of who god is he is the holy one of israel who he is who is this that we're going to put a trust into he is the only one the holy only living god and no one else and number two because of where god is where is he in our midst his presence and i do hope and pray that this reassurance of the future yeah his presence is with us we talked about that last week in the holy spirit but then again imagine for a moment when we die we're going to be with him throughout eternity his eternal presence unhindered fellowship with god wow so first who is he is the mighty holy one of israel second where he is he's in our midst today let's all stand on our feet today let's we're gonna sing a song okay because this is about kavanagh this is about covenant and then god says um he is faithful to his covenant so taught with the teacher that the word is he said you know the word he said it means it's love and faithfulness he's unfailing love his faithful love his steadfast love his loyal love and the word he said communicates loyalty and faithfulness within a relationship when the bible mentioned 250 times the bible it was mentioned this hebrew word they said it means god's covenant with his people he is loyal and his love is loyal martin loyal but he remains loyal amen we we are in a covenant with him so we're gonna see how great this god is once again and after we sing we're just gonna pray for some of you here [Music] my today my savior god to me come on sing it out true how great thou art my savior god [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] me [Music] down [Music] me [Music] that one thank you lord [Music] my [Music] [Music] [Music] me [Applause] just sing it one more time [Music] yes lord come on let's give him praise yes lord and it is a great god [Music] and some of you here maybe you feel like lord i'm not worthy of that kind of love that unfaith that faithful love i become unfaithful but you know what god is saying right now i love you god is telling you right now just come to me come as you are [Music] we're gonna do this if that's you today you feel like lord i don't deserve that kind of love the bible says today if you hear this voice do not harden your heart some of you there's no reason to rejoice but god is telling you right now rejoice and if you receive the offer of his son if you believe in his name the bible says he gave us the right to become children of god so if that's you today and you feel like welcome relationship okay lord and your life is so messed up [Music] in pride and all it's time to humble yourself before god and say lord i need you in my life for those of you worshiping with us online if that's you today and even hear sababa if that's you today you feel like lord maybe it's your first time joining us today it's no accident god has brought you here give it to this site so that you will receive him as your lord and savior so if that you can you just raise your hand to receive the lord jesus christ as your lord and savior you want to receive him and maybe some of you but online just just just raise your hand and lead you into a prayer yes i see that hand it's a balcony yes if that's just abimulan lord jesus i'm sorry [Music] for my unbelief lord jesus i know i'm a sinner and i cannot save myself i want to thank you lord for dying for me and offering me your salvation and starting today i now put my trust in you alone for salvation thank you jesus for coming into my life this i pray in jesus name amen for those of you no one paul i'll just pray for some of you you're you've been a christian for quite some time very well and enjoy them there's no joy you cannot even worship god at all i don't know maybe overwhelmingly problema that this pandemic has brought to you and following worship and the psalmist was saying shout for joy i don't know maybe the enemy is trying to put those lies and maybe it's time to see god for who he is that we can worship him despite of our precious circumstances let's just pray lord we pray for our brethren lord god lord young [Music] [Music] they forgot how good you are so finally right now would you just renew lord god their first love lord would you just reveal yourself to them again they're not worthy they're so full of condemnation and guilt lord renew lord god that love in them just like the way david prayed lord god restored to me the joy of my salvation so father i pray lord god that you're gonna bless these people with a renewed sense of hope and has said kind of love knowing that you are the only source of love we honor you lord today in jesus name amen amen come on let's give him praise all right all right for those of you watching us online thank you for worshiping with us we're dan paul with our series we're going to start a brand new series next week so online god bless
