Wednesday, 1:30, Auditorium A Drew Kizer listed the following practical applications to be learned from a very difficult text, Psalm 137: 1. Sin leads to bitterness and sorrow.2. Vengeance belongs to God (the writer doesn’t take it on himself).3. It’s hard to sing the Lord’s song when in exile.4. God hears prayers, even when uttered in pain. Drew spent the first several minutes dealing with questions about the inspiration and emotional difficulty with the psalm. Great material, and well presented. Don’t forget to go down a few posts and listen to my brief interview with Drew.

Wednesday, 12:45, Loyd Aud. My friend, Eric Lyons, is walking us through Psalm 6. As always, Eric is doing a masterful job! Psalm 6 is the first (in order) of the penitential psalms, and Eric is reminding us that: 1. We do sin and suffer.2. God is patient.3. God will punish/discipline.4. God hears our cries for forgiveness…and He does so at anytime. Personally, I’m grateful we have men like Eric in works like Apologetics Press. This lecture has only reaffirmed that feeling.

Wednesday, 8:30 & 9:30 I listened to David Baker’s lecture dealing with discipleship. This was the first in a two-part series and today basically laid the foundation. Baker referenced “Simple Church” often. Leah and I both think this is a book I need to read and incorporate. One of my favorite things David did was remind us that we must do what God requires (worship) as well as we can, then focus on programs, all under the mission of the congregation. At 9:30, I attended Dan Winkler’s second lecture of the week, which focused on preaching through Hebrews. Dan is a master expositor, and I always learn so much and…

Tuesday, 2:30, Auditorium B Marlin Connelly is continuing to walk through themes to preach from Ecclesiastes. Today’s lesson deals with a very modern need: money. Solomon wrote much about the subject that needs to be preached. 5:10ff has so much material. Lebanon Road folks will probably hear some of this in the not-so-distant future! The best line from the lecture was, “When you live above your income, there’s no question about your outcome.”. Wise!!!

Tuesday, 1:30, Loyd Auditorium Dan Jenkins, from Palm Beach Lakes, Florida, is beginning a series today discussing Psalm 139. One of the grand things about this 24-verse Psalm is how it reminds us of many of God’s awesome attributes. Brother Jenkins has been assigned verses 1-12, wherein we learn more of God’s omniscience. Specifically, we are being reminded that God knows us personally because He is everywhere, knows us, and He cares. I love hearing brother Dan speak because his lectures are deeply grounded in the Bible. He does a masterful job of comparing the text under consideration with texts throughout the pages of God’s Book.

Tuesday, 8:30, auditorium B What a great reminder! Using the 50th Psalm, we are being reminded of how man shoud put our heart in our worship. Worship should not just be a habit! We do not give God anything He does not already have, but He still desires our thanksgiving, praise, and our calling out to Him. The overall thrust of the lecture is that the heart that worships cannot “mix” in a hypocritical heart. Speaker: Kirk Brothers
