“Come See
What God Has Done” (Psalm 66)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/July 27,
2014
“The
grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The
meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they
shout for joy and sing.” (Psalm 65:12–13, NIV)
“Shout for
joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise
glorious.” (Psalm 66:1–2, NIV)
I.
The Worship of the World (vv. 1–4)
“Shout for
joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise
glorious. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that
your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing
praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.”” (Psalm 66:1–4, NIV)
“And they
sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its
seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them
to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the
earth.”” (Revelation 5:9–10, NIV)
II.
The Praise of a Nation. (vv. 5–12)
“Come and
see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! He turned the sea into
dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him.
He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations— let not the
rebellious rise up against him.” (Psalm 66:5–7, NIV)
“Praise
our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved
our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, God, tested us; you refined
us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You
let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought
us to a place of abundance.” (Psalm 66:8–12, NIV)
III.
The Thanksgiving of a Man. (vv. 13–20)
“I will
come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you— vows my
lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. I will sacrifice fat
animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.”
(Psalm 66:13–15, NIV)
““Speak to
Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of
you—whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel—presents a gift for
a burnt offering to the Lord,
either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, you must present a male
without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted
on your behalf. Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be
accepted on your behalf. When anyone brings from the herd or flock a fellowship
offering to the Lord to fulfill a
special vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without defect or blemish to
be acceptable.” (Leviticus 22:18–21, NIV)
“Come and
hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried
out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.” (Psalm 66:16–17,
NIV)
“If I had
cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;” (Psalm 66:18,
NIV)
“but God
has surely listened and has heard my prayer.” (Psalm 66:19, NIV)
“Praise be
to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!”
(Psalm 66:20, NIV)
Main Idea: God is
worthy of worship and praise from the world, from all of his people, and from
you.

“Jesus, the Healer of Blind Eyes” John
9:1–41
Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun AM/July 27, 2014
“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus
is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his
name.” (John 20:31, NIV)
1. As the Creator of all flesh, Jesus is
able to give sight to a man completely blind from birth.
“Through him all things were made; without him nothing
was made that has been made.” (John 1:3, NIV)
2. As the Eternal Word, Jesus is able to
provide perspective on the proper use of the Law (Sabbath).
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” (John 1:1–2,
NIV)
3. As the one who is Light and Life, he is
able to open the spiritual eyes of a man steeped in the darkness of sin.
“In him was life, and that life was the light of all
mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome
it.” (John 1:4–5, NIV)
Main
Idea: Jesus, the Son of God is the one who can truly open our eyes to see.

“Be of the Same Mind” (Romans 12:15–16)
Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/July 23, 2014
“Rejoice
with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one
another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited.” (Romans 12:15–16, NIV)
1. Be of the same mind (way of thinking) by
sharing in the emotions of one another (v. 15).
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who
mourn.” (Romans 12:15, NIV)
Parallel
Passages:
Job
30:25
| Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the
poor?
1 Co 12:26 | If one part
suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part
rejoices with it.
Heb 13:3 | Continue to
remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those
who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
2. Be of the same mind (way of thinking) by
sharing status/position with one another (v. 16).
NIV Romans 12:16 Live in harmony
with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of
low position. Do not be conceited. (Romans 12:16, NIV)
CEB Romans 12:16 Consider everyone
as equal, and don't think that you're better than anyone else. Instead,
associate with people who have no status. Don't think that you're so smart.
(Romans 12:16, CEB)
Parallel Passages:
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being
united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the
Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value
others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to
the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the
same mindset as Christ Jesus:” (Philippians 2:1–5, NIV)
“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious
Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your
meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old
clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine
clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You
stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among
yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my dear brothers and
sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be
rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? But
you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are
they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who
are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong? If you really keep
the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are
doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law
as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one
point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, “You shall not commit
adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but
do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. Speak and act as those who are
going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without
mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over
judgment.” (James 2:1–13, NIV)

“God to the Rescue” (Psalm 107)
Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/July 20, 2014 1. Those who have been delivered by God
give him thanks (vv. 1–3).
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for he is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed
from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west,
from north and south.” (Psalm 107:1–3, NIV)
Hymn # 544: “Redeemed, How I Love to
Proclaim It”
2. Those who have been delivered by God
tell their stories (vv. 4–32).
a. Wanderers in the Desert (vv. 4–9). “Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to
a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives
ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord
in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a
straight way to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his
wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry
with good things.” (Psalm 107:4–9, NIV)
b. Prisoners (vv. 10–16).“Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners
suffering in iron chains, because they rebelled against God’s commands and
despised the plans of the Most High. So he subjected them to bitter labor; they
stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them
from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and
broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for
mankind, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.”
(Psalm 107:10–16, NIV) For his anger
lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the
night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5, NIV)
c. Sick People (vv. 17–22).“Some became fools through their rebellious ways and
suffered affliction because of their iniquities. They loathed all food and drew
near the gates of death. Then they cried to the Lord
in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word
and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his
wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his
works with songs of joy.” (Psalm 107:17–22, NIV) d. Sailors on the Sea (vv. 23–32).“Some went out on the sea in ships; they were
merchants on the mighty waters. They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep.
For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. They mounted
up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage
melted away. They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’
end. Then they cried out to the Lord
in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the
storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it
grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to
the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the
people and praise him in the council of the elders.” (Psalm 107:23–32, NIV)
Hymn
# 69: “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
3. Those who have been delivered by God
praise his glorious name (vv. 33–42).“He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into
thirsty ground, and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness
of those who lived there. He turned the desert into pools of water and the
parched ground into flowing springs; there he brought the hungry to live, and
they founded a city where they could settle. They sowed fields and planted
vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest; he blessed them, and their numbers
greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish. Then their numbers
decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow; he who
pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. But he lifted
the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks. The
upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths.” (Psalm
107:33–42, NIV)
Hymn
# 213: “We Will Glorify”
4. Those who have been delivered by God
apply their hearts to wisdom (v. 43).
“Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder
the loving deeds of the Lord.”
(Psalm 107:43, NIV)
The upright see
and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths. (Psalm 107:42,
NIV)
Let the redeemed
of the LORD tell their story-- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, (Psalm 107:2, NIV) Hymn:

“The Mystery of Suffering and a
Compassionate Savior” (John 9:1–7)Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun AM/July 20, 2014
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As
he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples
asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born
blind?” 3 “Neither
this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the
works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day,
we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 After
saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it
on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of
Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home
seeing.
1. The Mystery of Suffering
a. Why
do bad things happen to us? What is the cause?
i.
Reject: The Open View of God
ii.
Reject: A rigid view of God’s justice and
righteousness that attributes all suffering to some sin.
iii.
Accept: A multi-faceted understanding of
suffering and God’s sovereignty that leaves room for mystery and faith.
iv.
Conclusion: Suffering is mysterious. God
is sovereign. God is both aware of and in control of the events of this world. Somehow
in a way that is mysterious and incomprehensible to us, God uses pain and
suffering to accomplish his purposes in this world.
We cannot always explain the reason for
our pain, but we can rely on a compassionate Savior.
2. The Compassion of a Savior
a. Jesus
came to minister to us in the midst of our suffering.
Luke
4:14–21:
14 Jesus
returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread
through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their
synagogues, and everyone praised him. 16 He
went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went
into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and
the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the
place where it is written: 18 “The
Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because
he has anointed me
to
proclaim good news to the poor.
He
has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and
recovery of sight for the blind,
to
set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s
favor.”
20 Then
he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes
of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began
by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
b. Jesus
has compassion on those who are suffering.
c. Jesus
is diligent and careful in using his time, knowing that there is limited
opportunity to minister to others.
4 As
long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming,
when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light
of the world.” (John 9:4–5)
“If
anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for
them.” (James 4:17, NIV)
d.
Jesus entered into our suffering by
humbling himself as one of us and taking our curse upon himself.
e.
Jesus death, resurrection, and ascension
to heaven guarantees the full and final redemption of this sin-cursed world.
Main Idea: Suffering is often unexplainable, mysterious, and difficult, but we
have a Savior who is full of compassion for those who follow him.

“Blessing Your Persecutors” (Romans
12:14)Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/July 16, 2014
“Bless
those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.” (Romans
12:14, NIV)
1. The Circumstances of Persecution
2. The Response to Persecution
a.
A self-control that does not respond in kind
with curses or ill-will or violence.
b.
A willingness to offer blessing to our
persecutors.
“Then he fell
on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he
had said this, he fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60, NIV)
“We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed,
we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;” (1 Corinthians 4:12, NIV)
3. The Teaching and Example of Christ in
Persecution
a.
Jesus’ Teaching
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when
people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you
because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for
in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew
5:10–12, NIV)
“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you,” (Matthew 5:44, NIV)
“bless those who curse you, pray for those who
mistreat you.” (Luke 6:28, NIV)
b.
Jesus’ Example
c.
A Call to Walk in His Steps
“But
how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure
it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable
before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving
you an example, that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and
no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he
did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted
himself to him who judges justly.” (1 Peter 2:20–23, NIV)
4. The Motivation for the Proper Response
in Persecution
a.
A supreme love for God, his truth and his glorious name.
b.
A genuine love for other people, including our enemies.
c.
A faith
that believes in deferred, final justice from God.
d.
A grace
that transforms our hearts to be capable of doing what would otherwise be
humanly impossible.

“The Mediator” (Topical) - Cameron Jungels- Sun PM, July 13, 2014

Sunday Jul 13, 2014
“The Mediator”
(Topical)Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/July 13, 2014
1.
Longing for a
Mediator
Now Eli, who was
very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they
slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 So he said to them, "Why
do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of
yours. 24 No, my sons; the
report I hear spreading among the LORD's people is not good. 25If one person sins against another, God may mediate for the
offender; but if anyone sins against the LORD, who will intercede for
them?" His sons, however, did not listen to their father's rebuke,
for it was the LORD's will to put them to death. (1 Sam. 2:22-25, NIV)
21 "Although I am blameless, I have
no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
22 It is all the same; that is why I say, 'He destroys both
the blameless and the wicked.' 23
When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent. 24 When a land falls into the
hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is
it? 25 "My days are
swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy. 26 They skim past like boats of
papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey. 27 If I say, 'I will forget my
complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,' 28 I still dread all my sufferings,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.
29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I struggle in
vain? 30 Even if I washed
myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder, 31 you would plunge me into a
slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me. 32 "He is not a mere mortal
like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in
court. 33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together, 34
someone to remove God's rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no
more. 35 Then I would
speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot. (Job 9:21-35, NIV)
2. Anticipating the Mediator
Abraham – Gen 18
Moses – Exod 32-33
Daniel – Daniel 9
3. The Coming of the Mediator
I urge, then,
first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made
for all people-- 2 for kings
and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. 3
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge
of the truth. 5 For there is
one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for
all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was
appointed a herald and an apostle-- I am telling the truth, I am not lying--
and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. (1 Tim. 2:1-7, NIV)
