Pastor Buddy Wimberly “WORTHY OF REMEMBRANCE” Psalms 107:1-9

1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 

2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 

3  And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 

4  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 

5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 

6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 

7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 

8  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 

9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Moses Besought The Lord" Exodus 32:7-14, 19:5-6

Exodus 32:7-14

7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 

8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 

10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 

11  And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 

12  Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 

13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 

14  And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 

Exodus 19:5-6  

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 

6  And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Jesus In Me" John 14:21-23

21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 

22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 

23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Resurrection Of The Dead" 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

The whole system of Christianity rests upon the fact that “Christ is risen from the dead;”

1Co 15:20  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 

1Co 15:21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 

1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 

If Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty; your faith is in nothing;

1Co 15:14  And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

And you are still in your sins

1Co 15:17  And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 

The Resurrection proves Jesus’ divinity

Rom 1:4  And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 

Christ’s sovereignty depends upon His resurrection

Rom 14:8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 

Rom 14:9  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 

Our Justification is a result of His victory over death and the grave

Rom 4:25  Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 

Our spiritual rebirth is by His resurrection

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Our resurrection is dependent on His resurrection 

Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

You see- the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the Scarlet Thread that ties all of the blessings of being a believer together. From being born again all the way through our eternal glory with Him. Can you think of anything that should be more important to know beyond a shadow of a doubt for a believer? 

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Rejectors" Romans 1:20-25

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly “Honor Thy Mother” John 19:25-27

25  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 

26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 

27  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly “Who Is Melchisedec” Hebrews 7:1-8

1  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 

2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 

3  Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 

4  Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 

5  And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 

6  But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 

7  And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 

8  And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 

Pastor Buddy Wimberly “Go Where You Have Never Been Before” Isaiah 6:8

8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Ye Cannot Serve The Lord“ Joshua 24:19-24 KJV

[19] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 

[20] If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. 

[21] And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 

[22] And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. 

[23] Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. 

[24] And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
