Speaker: Rev Lek Aik Wee

Worship Leader: Rev Lek Aik Wee

The LORD is in His Holy Temple*

CALL TO WORSHIP:

Psalm 145:1-5 David’s Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

Indeed, the people of God, having been delivered from their idolatrous past, be willing to keep themselves pure from the pollution of idols. To abstain from all appearance of evil. May the people of God today be identified with Him through baptism and on a regular basis partake the Lord’s Supper in fellowship with the Lord. Amen.

Mark 15:12-39 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

Believers are a joined as one body in Christ through faith in the one act on the cross where Jesus’ broken bodily offered as sacrifice for our sake to save us from our sins.

Through that one offer of Christ on the cross, we by faith receive forgiveness of sins. The Lord’s Supper was instituted by our Lord Jesus before He went to the cross to help His people remember His death till He comes again. That they may not forget that there was no greater love than this, no greater sacrifice than this, no greater suffering than this.

The cup of blessing pertains to the cup of grape juice that we used for our Lord’s Supper. In partaking the cup, we remember the Lord’s death on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. His blood was shed for the remission of our sins. Spiritually the believer is nourished and strengthened in the partaking of the Lord’s Supper. He does so with prior self-examination, confessing his sins before God in prayer. Amen.

Hymns: RHC 542 Saved by Grace, O Love that Will Not Let Me Go, Help Me Lord, I Plea (See Below)

Psalm 42

Balm for the Depressed

1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

The Apostle Paul addresses his audience as enlightened men who understands his concern for their spiritual prosperity and he asks them to make their educated assessment of his exhortations thus far. He has exhorted them to flee idolatry, seek holiness and to yield not to the temptation of a discontented and murmuring spirit. The Israelites were chastised by God for their unbelief, idolatry and immorality. God’s instruction is plainly taught in His Word and therefore for our admonition.

God’s people are exhorted by a loving entreaty to put Him first in their lives, to put God first in their hearts, to put God first in their actions. An idol is that which displace the due honour and worship accorded to our God. All that we have and are comes from Him. By seeking other affections, we forfeit God’s blessing in our lives. The word “flee” is given as a command for habital action.

The Lord provides a way of escape for His people in every temptation. He will always provide for His people the escape route so that His people might be saved from the pitfalls of sin. Do not be alarmed when you are sorely tempted. God allows it to test you. He also provides a way out. God is faithful. He will not let you down.
