Psalm 107:22 Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing. Hymns Invitation Red Songbook - Supplemental

The World’s Hate Psalms – we are studying the Psalms because: 1. We are commanded to sing them; 2. We are commanded to bring them to each other (1 Cor. 14:26); 3. They teach us about the Kingdom (Acts 13:33) Psalm 2

Messianic Psalms Talking about the Eternal King Talking about the Suffering Servant Talking about the Great Kingdom In this psalm the eternal king is part of the conversation. He is established by God, and set on the Holy Hill of Zion. The Kingdom too is present, as that which overcomes the nations

The Plot Against the King Kings of the Earth plot against Him - In prophecy The Rulers of the Jews The Roman leaders - In the history of Israel The nations around Israel Prophecy often had a double fulfillment. For example, God said that David would have a son who would be a son of peace on the throne, and he would build the temple. This was Solomon, but it was also Jesus

The World Hates Us Jesus’ warning to us John 15:17-25 Hate: wanting the worst for another Those who walk in hate are guilty of murder Matthew 5:21-22 What is the definition of hate? Like love, it is a misunderstood word. Many would say hate is intolerance, or the absence of liking something. However, consider the person who cannot tolerate starving children; does he hate them? If I do not enjoy something, do I hate it? Hate is a manifestation of the intense dislike, repugnance or offence Mt 5:21 ¶ "You have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.'22 "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

The World Hates Us Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. 1 John 3:13 In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you 1 Peter 4:4 What is the definition of hate? Like love, it is a misunderstood word. Many would say hate is intolerance, or the absence of liking something. However, consider the person who cannot tolerate starving children; does he hate them? If I do not enjoy something, do I hate it? Hate is a manifestation of the intense dislike, repugnance or offence

The World Hates Us We are often surprised that we are hated by the world Lot in Sodom – Genesis 19:7-9 Why is this so? Because we are trying to do what is best Because we are deceived by “forms” of godliness Ge 19:7 and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 "Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof." 9 But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.

The World Hates Us Facts we need to consider: 1. Friendship with the world and God is not possible You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4 What is the definition of hate? Like love, it is a misunderstood word. Many would say hate is intolerance, or the absence of liking something. However, consider the person who cannot tolerate starving children; does he hate them? If I do not enjoy something, do I hate it? Hate is a manifestation of the intense dislike, repugnance or offence

How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! The World Hates Us Facts we need to consider: 1. Friendship with the world and God is not possible 2. There is a blessing in adversity to the world "Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil” Luke 6:22 How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! We really don’t want to be in harmony with the world. From time to time the world realizes error (consider racism or abuse, the #me too movement). Very possibly one day the world may realize how evil abortion is; we already stand in the right. One day the world may realize how self-destructive homosexuality is; we already know it. One day the world may realize how good marriage is; we already have the benefit of it
