  1. A Present Peace Mark Chong June 30, 2019

  2. 1 God is our refuge and strength, • a very present help in trouble. • 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, • though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, • 3 though its waters roar and foam, • though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah • 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, • the holy habitation of the Most High. (cont’d) • --Psalm 46:1-11 (ESV)

  3. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; • God will help her when morning dawns. • 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; • he utters his voice, the earth melts. • 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; • the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah • 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, • how he has brought desolations on the earth. (cont’d) • --Psalm 46:1-11 (ESV)

  4. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; • he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; • he burns the chariots with fire. • 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. • I will be exalted among the nations, • I will be exalted in the earth!” • 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; • the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah • --Psalm 46:1-11 (ESV)

  5. 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah --Psalm 46:1-11 (ESV)

  6. God is our present peacemaker

  7. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. • 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; • God will help her when morning dawns. • 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; • he utters his voice, the earth melts. • 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; • the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah --Psalm 46:1-11 (ESV)

  8. “Divine grace like a smoothly flowing, fertilising, full, and never-failing river, yields refreshment and consolation to believers. This is the river of the water of life, of which the church above (The saints in heaven) as well as the church below (those still on earth) partakes evermore. It is no boisterous ocean, but a placid stream, it is not stayed in its course by earthquakes or crumbling mountains, it follows its serene course without disturbance. Happy are they who know from their own experience that there is such a river of God.” • --Charles Spurgeon--

  9. God is our permanent peacemaker

  10. …the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. • --1 Kings 8:11 (ESV)

  11. 6 But if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and the house that I have consecrated for my name I will… (cont’d) • --1 Kings 9:6-8 (ESV)

  12. …cast out of my sight, and Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And this house will become a heap of ruins. Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ • --1 Kings 9:6-8 (ESV)

  13. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. • --Matthew 28:20b (ESV)

  14. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. • --Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)

  15. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. • --Psalm 46:5 (ESV)

  16. “How can she be moved unless her enemies move her Lord also? His presence renders all hope of capturing and demolishing the city utterly ridiculous. The Lord is in the vessel, and she cannot, therefore, be wrecked.” • --Charles Spurgeon--

  17. God is our powerful peacemaker

  18. 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. • 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; • he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; • he burns the chariots with fire. • 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. • I will be exalted among the nations, • I will be exalted in the earth!” • 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; • the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah --Psalm 46:8-11 (ESV)

  19. 10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” --Psalm 46:10 (ESV)
