2 Peter 1:15 And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind. 16 For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— 18 and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 
 
19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Psalm 19:12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. 
13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart 
Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19 
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; 
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 
8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; 
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; 
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. 
10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; 
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. 
11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; 
In keeping them there is great reward.

Sunday Message: July 31, 2022---"God's Glorious Word" Psalm 19:7-11

1 Peter 3:17 For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.
