Communion Psalm 20 10-07-01

Sermon 10-06-01 Psalm 20 Communion

Psalm 20 some trust in…we will remember the name of the Lord
Sense of security not based on military
Sense of security is based in the name of our God

High school St. Bernard “Christian” “chris” Dad’s rebuke

Philippians 2 – every knee bow, tongue confess, Jesus is Lord
Uniqueness of name of Jesus
Drop books in mud – “buddah”
Get a flat tire on car- “hare Krishna”
Jesus = universal swear word
Power in his name

Blind Bartimaeus Mark 10/Demoniacs…..upon whom did he call?
Jesus Christ, son of David, have mercy on me.

Disclaimer/an old heresy
I am not saying that you should only pray in Jesus name
Prayers to God are fine
But our pray also need to identify and seek saving name of Jesus X

Generic god versus Jesus Christ as savior
Some follow men….Jim Jones, David Koresh, Sun Young Moon
Some follow a pantheon of Gods
Some follow prophets
Some follow works righteousness Eph 2:8-10
By grace you are saved thru faith it is a gift of God

Most religions boil down to men seeking, reaching for God
In the Christian faith, God reaches down to men

Tough days, tough times
Mt 11 Come unto me all ye that labor & are heavy laden, I will give

John 6 I am the bread of life he that comes to me will never hunger, he that believes on me will never thirst again

Thru it all…Jesus is the one, the only one
