Sermon Title: OPEN TO RECEIVE Sermon Text: PSALMS 34:4-8 Sermon Series: OPEN: A PSALMS SERIES ON THE POSTURE OF ENCOUNTER By: PTR NIC SY Psalm 34:4-8 ESV I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! SERMON NOTES I. SENT (THE GIFT THAT WAS ALREADY SENT) “encamps” | Heb. chanah (חָנָה) | “to pitch tents, to dwell, to rest.” God’s initiative precedes our openness. The gift doesn’t start when you open it; it starts when it’s sent. II. SHOWN (THE FACE THAT CAN’T BE HIDDEN) “radiant” | Heb. nahar (נָהַר) | “to sparkle, be cheerful.” You can’t fake the face of someone who has actually seen God. Reflect: What has held your gaze lately? III. SAVORED (THE TABLE THAT’S FINALLY SET) “taste” | Heb. taam (טָעַם) God’s goodness is too good to remain unopened and too personal to remain secondhand. Borrowed faith can quote the psalm; it just can’t sing it.
