Q4. What is the relationship between the tabernacle in the wilderness and the Kingdom of God? How do God’s Kingdom and glory come together in the wilderness tabernacle? The Tabernacle in the wilderness typifies the presence of a desert monarch, with his courtroom and throne, dwelling in the midst of his people. Yahweh dwells in the midst of Israel in an elaborate tent as might a desert monarch. The tabernacle is the throne-room and its courts are the precincts of the King's dwelling.

Q3. Why does Moses hunger to see God’s glory? Why does Paul press on? What spiritual hunger do you see in yourself? How might you increase this hunger? How might you satisfy this hunger? Moses hungered to see God because he had seen in the burning bush something off that glory of God and because of this Moses wanted to see and experience more of the story. God gave him that experience off more Glory by associating and communing with Moses and by allowing Moses to see his ' back.' Paul also saw something off the glory of Christ on the Damascus Road and he continually strive forward to experience more of that Glory. As I study, learn and read more about God I found that my Hunger for relation with God grows into portion to my study and work. This hunger can be saturated buy communion with God by prayer, scripture reading, study and In Worship. As we continue along this road of study and prayer we become more and more in tune with God and hunger for his relationship. Praise be to God.

Q2. Why do you think God’s glory is associated with judgment and consuming fire? What happens when people willfully disobey God and his laws? Why can’t God’s holiness coexist with sin? the glory of God is an awesome thing. The glory of God was seen on Mount Sinai as fire and smoke which would billow from a furnace. This sounds very much like a volcano, which shows in full force the power of God in nature. The Judgment of God can come suddenly and quickly as often does the volcano. The judgement of Jesus came quickly when he overturned the tables of the money-changers. God I cannot coexist with sin because sin is Darkness and the glory of God is little light. These two are such opposites that they cannot abide together. When people sin the glory of God must in response shine forth as a consuming fire and the sun will be swept away.

Q1. Describe the difference between (1) reputation glory, (2) derived glory, and (3) inherent glory. Which glory is involved when you praise God? Which glory is within you? Reputation Glory comes from the things that one does to enhance one's reputation. Politicians, movie stars and sports figures all perform certain acts which they hope will enhance their reputation. We as Christians are they give glory for God for all those things which he deserves credit for. We do this by offering praise to God and when we witness our faith to God before our friends and our Associates. Drived Glory is the glory has within oneself. We as Christians derive our Glory from our communion with and our relationship with God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. Inherent Glory is Glory that one has within oneself. God is the characteristic example of inherent Glory for he gets his glory from himself. The only Glory Within Me is the glory which comes from my communion with God my father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit.

Q3. (Psalm 22:1) Why do you think Jesus spoke the words of Psalm 22:1? What was he seeking to express? What was he feeling? How did God answer his plea? While Jesus was on the cross he was suffering for our sins. Sometimes as we suffer we feel separated from God. So he was crying for help from God in bearing the sufferings of the world Q Jesus was feeling aloneness, separation from God. .

Q4. (Psalm 24) How do verses 1-2 establish the Lord's right as King? What do verses 3-6 tell us about the requirements of the King? What do verses 7-10 tell us about the glory of the King? How does this psalm speak to you in your situation? Because the Earth is the Lord this establishes his right to the king, for he his name the heavens and earth and all that is therein. The one who may live with call God on his glorious Hill are those who: who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. we all received salvation by the grace all the Lord to Jesus Christ his only son and that means that we are to try to have clean hands and a pure heart and not leather our souls be stolen by false idols.

d August 18, 2007 · Report post Q3. (Psalm 126). In this psalm, the nation is going through some kind of crisis. How does memory of God's deliverance in verses 1-3 prepare them for the prayer of verse 4? How do you understand the two metaphors of deliverance: (1) a wadi or dry gully and (2) sowing and reaping? How do these metaphors help you in your situation? The poet by remembering the past remind the people of the great things that God has done. It then is a short jump to remind and tell the people of today that if God has done things in the past he can again they do great things for the people. Just as it seems as though it is a miracle that'll sun-dried stream will quickly fill with water in the desert when it rains so God can perform similar miracles with his people. As a farmer the sowing of the seed is a miraculous the time, a time of Hope for the future, a Time for dreams off the future. This is what the poet here is doing- dreaming for the future.

Q1. (Psalm 103) Which one or two aspects of God's character mentioned in this Psalm stand out to you? Why do you think the Exodus was so foundational in Israel's understanding of God? According to Psalm 103:10-12, what are the limits to God's forgiveness? The attribute of forgiveness and his ability to renew us and like a young eagle are the two aspects of God's character that stand up to me. Although it must be sent that all of the aspects of God's character exceptional and attractive to a devout believer. The Exodus is important in the belief of the Israelite people in that it was something that was done for all the people. It is reasonably consistent with the Nazareth Declaration that Jesus makes in the Book of Luke chapter 4 verses 16 to 18- Cooper claimed a good news to the poor, Liberty to the captives recovery of sight to the blind, to set at Liberty those who are oppressed and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. This is the Christian goal as proclaimed by Jesus, Paul and throughout the Old and New Testaments. This is the important thing, there is no limits to the Forgiveness of God. His heart is so big, his compassion so deep and his love so great that he can swallow all our sins up into a great, forgettable Abyss from which they will not return. God is our Helper and our strength throughout the ages. Praise and bless the Lord. Amen .

Q4. (Psalm 24) How do verses 1-2 establish the Lord's right as King? What do verses 3-6 tell us about the requirements of the King? What do verses 7-10 tell us about the glory of the King? How does this psalm speak to you in your situation? Because " the Earth is the Lord's and everything that is in it" this then establishes the right of God as king. He is the ruler and the Creator off the universe and those humans who do not recognize this fact stand in the danger of being chastised for this lack of acknowledgement of the right of God as king. The requirements of God to be associated in his kingdom and do be part of his team, to be in an eternal relationship with God are those quoted in versus 3-6- one must have clean hands and the pure heart, one who does not worship idols or swears falsely to other idols. These are things that God sees as being contray to his law and contray to His eternal principles. God has the glory and to God the glory should be given. In the past he has being considered to be a great warrior by the people of Israel. For he is strong and mighty in battle. A certain portion of God's glory comes from the Deeds of the past where he has supported the people, in The Exodus and in the exile God his support of his people and for this he is worshipped and given the glory. Jesus the Messiah in his declaration in Nazareth has showing us the things that he was to do to receive the glory of God. Jesus was to proclaim the good news to the poor, Liberty to the captives and the recovery of sight to the blind. As well he was too set at Liberty those who are oppressed and to proclaim the Lord's favor. ( Luke 4. 18- 20). In our modern society where rational thinking and rationalism is considered so vitally important it is very hard, at times, to give God the appropriate the glory that he deserves. Our individualism so often it gets in the way and we put our individualism ahead of our church the community. We seem to forget the importance of community, the importance by Jesus and Paul and the fathers of the church placed upon the community itself. By turning to our individualism we separate and crack the connections that exist in the community make it vital and fruitful. We cannot work alone, we must work in community for Christianity is community and when we practice Christianity we practice Christian Living. For we are told buy Jesus in the great commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves. The Apostle John in his letter writes that if we do not love our brother or sister then it is impossible to love God.

Q3. (Psalm 126). In this psalm, the nation is going through some kind of crisis. How does memory of God's deliverance in verses 1-3 prepare them for the prayer of verse 4? How do you understand the two metaphors of deliverance: (1) a wadi or dry gully and (2) sowing and reaping? How do these metaphors help you in your situation? The nation of Israel, the people of Israel have always had something and great to remember and in the remembering they are strengthened by the knowledge of the things that God has done for the people in the past. One of the greatest events in the history of the people of Israel was their deliverance from Egypt where they were slaves. This experience was the defining event in the life history of the people. Time and again in the Bible various writers where there may be psalmists, historians or prophets they remind the people of what God has done for them in the past and what he can do in the future. There'll be another great events such as the return of the people from Exile in Babylon. Although the metaphor of sowing is somewhat weak because usually when one goes out to sow one goes with joy and expectation. I am speaking with experience as a farmer. However the poet here is trying to make an example; an example where the reaping is soul joyful. No doubt there is a great contrast in the Mount of joy which one has in reaping a good crop and that of sowing where there is a chance of crop failure. Our church is in a low point in its Church cycle. As such it is difficult to always keep your chin up but these verses in this psalm let us know that God is still with us.

Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To ascribe to God attributes of glory and strength is for us to recognize, Proclaim and praise a God for he is the one who created and is creating the heavens and the Earth. We should therefore bless the LORD at all times; andhis praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalm 34:1. We need to ascribe a glory it to God in order to put ourselves in a right frame of mind so that we will know and understand the great and awesome and difference between us and the Lord Yahweh. When we fail to ascribe glory to God we begin to think that we are an equal playing field with God and this can be a tragedy. It is always fitting and Worthy to give God the glory for he in his gracious Manner has given us life, the way and eternal life.

Q1. (Psalm 57) Why is praise difficult in the midst of trying circumstances? How does praise affect our faith? Our attitude? Our motivation? Praise is difficult in trying circumstances because often in these circumstances our spirit is low and when we look to the Lord we find it hard to see that it is from the Lord that comes our help. It is he who has made Heaven and Earth. He will not allow your foot to the be moved. However, when we pray fervently to God the interaction which we have with the father will be a balm for our soul and we will feel buoyed up by the spirit of the Lord.

Q2. Why do you think God’s glory is associated with judgment and consuming fire? What happens when people willfully disobey God and his laws? Why can’t God’s holiness coexist with sin? As people became aware of God's glory they need to do something, some words in which to describe this awesome Glory. They could think of no better way off described mean this a glory then by a consuming fire and by judgement. Usually there is some consequence who disobeying God. However, the consequence may not be readily seen. From an outside look it would appear often of that there are no consequences but if we look at the innards of the persons being there will be consequences. God is perfect and holy and cannot look upon sin. Therefore it is impossible for God to deal with sin except through the auspices of Jesus Christ Our Lord who died and was resurrected so that sin could be defeated.

Q1. Describe the difference between (1) reputation glory, (2) derived glory, and (3) inherent glory. Which glory is involved when you praise God? Which glory is within you? Glory received from reputation is the a glory that we receive from the Deeds that we do. David receive Glory from the Deeds that he did in the army of King Saul. Once when returning from Battle the crowds is saying that Saul had killed his hundreds but David had killed his thousands. This game or reputation and glory to David then to King Saul and Saul became envious. Derive the glory is the glory that you received from association with others who are worthy of glory. If one hangs around a famous person then sometimes their Glory will rub off on you. Moses received Drive of Glory from his association with the Lord and this glory , however , gradually dissipated. Inherent glory is Glory that one has from oneself. And one has that Glory whether it is recognized by others or not. I do not feel that I have any Glory at all except the glory that is derived from my Association with the Lord. This is my glory but I love the Lord my God with all my heart all my mind and all my soul and my neighbor as myself. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Q3. (Psalm 31) What does it mean to say to the Lord, "Into your hands I commit my spirit" (31:5)? How does that statement bring peace to a person? How does the statement, "My times are in your hands" (31:15), bring peace to the troubled soul? To say to the Lord, "Into your hands I commit my spirit" implies that we are putting our faith and our hope securely in the hands of the Lord. For when we rest in the Lord we can feel completely safe and secure. My times are in your hands" (31:15), bring peace to the troubled soul because, again we are putting our faith and trust in the Lord. Time is something that we cannot control but if we leave it it's a little word the time Factor will work out. We do not always get the resolution for our prayers that which we are wishing but they are what God provides and we must be really into except what God delivers to us and to be happy in the Lord.

Q2. According to Psalm 23, how does the Lord our Shepherd quiet his sheep and give them confidence? How many ways can you find in this psalm? The Lord our Shepherd quietS his sheep and give them confidence by leading them safely to food and water. As well the Lord restores their soul by protecting them even to the point of death. Although David can hardly envision the gifts that God will give to his people through Jesus Messiah, he does, by gift of the spirit, indicate that God loves us so much that he would lay down his own life for his people, as he did in Jesus and his ministry to the world.

Q1. According to Psalm 131, just how does David quiet his inner person before the Lord? What are the elements mentioned in this psalm? David quiets himself before the Lord by being humble before the Lord, and he does not concern himself with matters that are too wonderful for him.

Q2. (Psalm 91) What does this psalm teach us about God's protection when in danger? What does it teach about our authority to vanquish our enemies? What promises does Psalm 91 contain? How does this psalm make you feel . God promises that for those who love him and trust him that we will be protected from danger. For God said - you will not strike your foot against a stone." (91:11) The psalmist said that we will be protected from the Fowler's snare. Metaphorically the Fowler's snare is to be considered our enemy for certainly he would be the enemy of the animals but he trapped. If we are to be protected From The Snare then we would be able to Vanquish the fowler himself, the devil. Psalm 91 promises us protection, rescue, long life, salvation, the deliverance and honor. We are also promised to be delivered from all trouble and when we pray God will answer us. Oh what wonderful promises.

Q1. (Psalm 61:1-4) What images does the psalmist evoke to communicate his trust in God's protection? How do the first four verses of this psalm make you feel? Firstly the poet who has written the psalm calls upon God who in his omnipotent way who can be reached from any part of the world or in our case the universe. This concept of God is one that is quite amazing in a time and a place where most of the gods were considered to be regional. Secondly the Lord is considered to be a great Rock a boulder from which the earth is made. This emphasizes the strength and the stability of the Lord our God. As a Christian we would see The Rock as being Christ , the Rock of our salvation . Thirdly, the Lord God is seen as being our refuge, the place where we can hide and be protected. In the days elf warrior with swords, Shields and bows and arrows refuge was often in a tower, a place that was reasonably safe and almost impregnable by the enemy. In the Middle Ages the monasteries were seen as being places of Refuge where a refugee could hide and be safe from the enemy. These first four verses give this one a feeling of security and safety where we can share with the Lord Our God our troubles and our sorrows.

Q4. (Psalm 40:17) In this verse David combines both humility and faith in his prayer to God. Why are both humility and faith necessary? What happens when one of these qualities is missing? Both faith and humility are important. Faith is our trust and confidence in the Lord. What kind of friend are we if we do not trust the friend? The Lord God wants us as a friend and a confident, one who will love us and trust us in all circumstances. The story off the Pharisee and the tax collector tells us of the importance is that the Lord God puts on humility. The Pharisee was very bold and described and outlined to God all the good things that he did. On the other hand the tax collector proclaimed to the Lord God In Prayer his wickedness and his inability to be good. According To Jesus humility like that of the tax collector will be rewarded.

Q4. (Psalm 40:17) In this verse David combines both humility and faith in his prayer to God. Why are both humility and faith necessary? What happens when one of these qualities is missing? Both humility and faith are important not only in prayer but also in life. In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector Jesus has taught us the importance of humility and the futility of pride. These two, the Pharisee and the tax collector, came into the temple to pray. The Pharisee in his prayer told how good he was, the other said- God, have mercy on me a sinner. Jesus then I commented - I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18: 9 - 14.

Q3. (Psalm 40:5b) When you realize that God's thoughts and plans are focused on you in particular, how does that make you respond? Short answer - if God can be for us who can be against us. Knowing that God cares for us and cares for our activities it not only makes us humble, but it also it gives us a fortitude of strength and willingness to carry on. What can the fiery darts of the devil do to us since God is with us. He is our strength and our salvation comma our Salvation in this life and in the Life to Come . Amen .

Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? this song of Lament ends in hope and prayer because the poet his hope in the salvation of the Lord. Who sings - but as for me... Oh Lord in an acceptable time, oh God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me in the truth of thigh salvation. With this hope that he has just sung the pole is able to continue in Hope and praise. In the same fashion when we are broken and feel low we can pray to the Lord and He will restore us. It is necessary to approach God in our request knowing that he will only answer our prayer in his time, and his grace and in so doing we will be restored by the loving-kindness of the Lord which is good.

Q3. (Psalm 98) What are the reasons given for praise in Psalm 98? Why do you think praise is so exuberant in this psalm? How exuberant is praise in your congregation, in your life? Why or why not is it exuberant? Some of the reasons a given for praising God: -1. That he has done marvelous things. 2. He has worked salvation for the people. 3. He has revealed his righteousness. 4. He has remembered his love. 5. All the Earth has seen his salvation. The exuberance of the song comes from the author's concept of salvation. The author uses the word salvation in each of the first three verses. Salvation for the early children of Israel meant rescue from evil. Just as Christians are joyful because of their salvation from the evil one so the early people of Israel we're joyful for their rescue from evil. Exuberance and excitement in our congregation is not always apparent and maybe because of the lack of appreciation of rescue from evil.
