Be guided by the Holy Spirit because God speaks to our hearts individually. Pray :)

1. The Power of the
Psalm2

2. The Rebellion of
the Nations
(Psa 2:1-2 NIV)
Why do the nations conspire and the
peoples plot in vain? 2The kings of the
earth take their stand and the rulers
gather together against the LORD and
against his Anointed One.

3. • The nations plot and kings
conspire against God and His
Messiah
• They rebel against God
• We too rebel against God. We go
our own way rather than God’s
way

4. (Psa 2:4-6 NIV) The One enthroned in
heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5Then he rebukes them in his anger and
terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 6"I have
installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."

5. • God responds with laughter
• God mocks rebellion because it
has no place with Him
• God is in complete control of
the universe
• God rules over all the world –
He rules it all

6. (Psa 2:6-8 NIV) "I have installed my King on
Zion, my holy hill." 7I will proclaim the decree of
the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son ;
today I have become your Father. 8 NIV) Ask
of me, and I will make the nations your
inheritance, the ends of the earth your
possession.

7. • God will give His anointed one sovereignty
over all the earth
• God will allow everything to be under His
possession and authority
• Jesus is indeed the fulfillment of this
promise
• Jesus will one day return and set up His
eternal Kingdom

8. (Psa 2:11-12 NIV) Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling. 12Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry and you be destroyed in
your way, for his wrath can flare up in a
moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in
him.

9. • God is calling us to serve Him
with fear (reverence)
• God is calling us to serve Him
with rejoicing
• God is calling us to serve Him
with trembling

10. (Phil 2:12 NIV) Therefore, my dear friends,
as you have always obeyed--not only in my
presence, but now much more in my
absence--continue to work out your
salvation with fear and trembling.
