PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM


BIG IDEA:
APPRECIATE AND PROMOTE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO WORSHIP THE
LORD TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD

INTRODUCTION:
OT context = Jerusalem as the center of worship with the Temple as the House of God;

Dispensational approach will see Jerusalem again prominent in the context of worship in the millennial kingdom;

Non-Dispensational approach will not see any future significant role for the city of Jerusalem

I. (:1-5) OT PILGRIMS APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORSHIP IN THE HOUSE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM

A. (:1) Appreciate the Invitation to Make the Pilgrimage to Jerusalem
"I was glad when they said to me, ’Let us go to the house of the Lord.’"

B. (:2-3) Appreciate the Significance of the City of Jerusalem
"Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem."
"Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together."

C. (:4) Appreciate the Priority of Corporate Worship

1. Commanded for the People of God

2. Objective = "to give tha nks to the name of the Lord"

D. (:5) Appreciate the Historical Roots and Significance of the Kingdom of God as Mediated by David
"For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David."


II. (:6-9) PROMOTE THE PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF JERUSALEM

A. Pray for Peace and Prosperity
Blessing upon those who love Jerusalem
"May they prosper who love you."

DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS:

1) Am I excited about every opportunity for corporate worship?

2) Does my worship center around giving thanks to the character of the Lord?

3) Am I an instrument for peace within the church of God?

4) Do I understand and appreciate the roots of my faith?
