Introduction
1. The Christian life is life from the overflow. Is your Christian life a life from the overflow?

I. THE LORD AND HIS MUSIC 33:1-3
Praise is commanded. Rejoice…Praise…Sing…Play(Eph. 5:18, 19) Be not drunk with
wine...be filled with the Spirit. Speaking to yourselves in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs
making melody in your hearts as unto the Lord.
A. Thankfully 1
1. This connects us with Psalm 32.
2. Ring out your joy…sin is forgiven!
3. The God who forgives is a God who is in control.
B. Thoroughly 2
1. Tune up the instruments! Pull out all the stops! God loves variety! Bring out all
the musical skills that you have.
2. God is not displeased with a variety of musical instruments. In the Old Testament it
was commanded again and again. In the New Testament music begins in the
hearts, but it flows to our voices and hands.
C. Thoughtfully 3
1. A new song…in the original it suggests a song never heard before.
2. Our thoughts about God should ever be exploring new frontiers of wonder and awe
expressing themselves in new avenues of praise.
3. Play skillfully with a loud noise…could that be a drum?!Play skillfully with a
shout of joy (NASV)

word.

2. We have cast the ship of state adrift upon the tides of time without sail, anchor,
rudder, chart or compass.

4. There are absolutes of morality: faithfulness, truth, righteousness, justice,
lovingkindness. This is who He is!!
B. The Manifest Power Of His Word 6,7
Creation shows the fingerprint of God.
1. The same word that breathes through the pages of the Bible is the very word that
spokethe stars into being.
2. In the beginning…there was an intelligent designer. Our galaxy is 100,000 light
years across. One light year is 6 billion miles. There is estimated to be over 200
billion galaxies beyond ours. In recent years astronomers have photographed
quasars (galaxy like objects) 15 billion light years away.
3. How did we get our mountains? How is it we find fossils on the top of
mountains??? (Psalm 104:6-8) The mountains rose up and the valleys sank down.
C. The Moving Power Of His Word 8
1. This is the counsel of common sense. Behind this universe is an omniscient,
omni-potent God!Stand it awe!
2. There is no excuse. God has revealed Himself. We should worship Him!
D. The Matchless Power Of His Word 9
1. He spoke and it was done! He commanded and it stood fast!
2. One word from Him and light rushed out some 100,000 light years (our milky way
galaxy)! One word from Him and light rushed out some 15 billion light years or
more! Just one word!
