48:1 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

48:3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

48:4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

48:5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

48:6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

48:7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

48:8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever.

48:9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

48:10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

48:11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

48:12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

48:13 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

48:14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

Introduction

So far in the book of Acts, we can see that the Church has come under attack by the

  • The world (persecution),
  • satan (deceit & moral compromise)

Now a new crisis appears. Unable to destroy the church by way of persecution and deceit, satan now tries to create a split in the church by getting believers to argue and fight with each other.

If satan had succeeded in creating an implosion within this church, the only church in existence at the time, then the effects could have been devastating. The media in our world loves to report about anything negative to do with Christianity and the church. So any form of dissension, pressure splits and arguments within the Church, is often reported with an almost earnest gleefulness by the media.

From this Bible passage, four questions quite naturally arise.

  • What was the problem?
  • How was it resolved?
  • What happened after it was resolved?
  • How can we apply it to church life, 2000 years after the event?

Summary

The Problem! (v1)

The Solution! (v2-6)

Three things about the solution

Transformation of the Apostles – James, Peter & John particularly (v2)

All together now! (v2-5)

Commissioning (v6)

The Result! (v7)

Growth and witness = conversion of former enemies… (v7)

Growth and witness = reasoning and transformation

Conclusion

Transformation

Ministry for all – serving!

Psalm 28

28:1 To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

28:2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

28:3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

28:4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

28:5 Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

28:6 Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

28:7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

28:8 Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

28:9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
