Good evening. Good to see everybody. Let's open tonight's service
with hymn number 32 in your spiral hymn, hymnal. And let's, in Christ
we are free. Let's all stand together. Number
32. In bondage and sin we helplessly
lay Condemned and unclean God's law in its infinite justice and
wrath Demanded we suffer an eternal death But long before time had
ever begun, One stood in our place, God's glorious Son. He offered Himself to go live
among men, And give His own life to atone for our sins. The great substitute, behold
he has come. The price has been paid, the
work is all done. Christ took on himself the great
load of our sin. He poured out his blood and he
put away sin. God's justice and law are now
satisfied, and all who believe have been justified. Through faith in the blood of
the Lamb we are free from sin's condemnation eternally. Please be seated. Eternally, eternally free. The sun shall make you free,
free indeed. What a blessing. Tom, good to
have you and Cindy back. Adam did a really good job in
your absence. So we're thankful you all had
a safe trip. I don't know if you received
the email that I sent out this afternoon, but about 1130 this
morning, the Lord took Anne home and Anne Neal. And so we'll be
having a funeral service here this Saturday at 11. So visitation
will be between 10 and 11 and service will be at 11 and then
there'll be a a graveside service in Lake Mary next to where Wayne
was buried after the service here. So I hope you can come
be a part of that. I've been very encouraged in
spending a good bit of time with David recently. And Lord enables
you to remember him and pray for him. Let's open our Bibles to Psalm
119. Psalm 119. And just by way of reminder,
when we read the Psalms, we know that they are to be understood
on three levels. Historically, they relate to
the penman of the Psalms, most of which, of course, were David.
And so when these men wrote, they were writing of their own
experience. Personally, they apply to us. We are able to enter in to the
experiences that these believers had that God used. They were sinful men just like
us, and their experiences are very similar to ours. But on
the third level, these Psalms are to be understood prophetically.
And so when we read these words, let's have an eye toward Christ
because he is the fulfillment of these Psalms. And as David's
writing, he's writing prophetically of what the Lord Jesus would
fulfill perfectly. And so when David talks about
keeping God's law and loving God's law, He's speaking of the
union that we have with Christ and the perfection that the Lord
Jesus had in satisfying the demands of the law as we just sang. So let's read Psalm 119 beginning
at verse 65. Thou hast dealt well with thy
servant, O Lord, according to thy word. Teach me good judgments
and knowledge, for I have believed thy commandments. Before I was
afflicted, I went astray, but now have I kept thy word. Thou art good and doest good. Teach me thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against
me. but I will keep thy precepts
with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease,
but I delight in thy law. It is good for me that I have
been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. The law of
thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me. Give me understanding that
I may learn thy commandments. They that fear thee will be glad
when they see me, because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O
Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that in faithfulness
thou hast afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful
kindness be for my comfort according to thy word. unto thy servant,
let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live, for the
law is my delight." Of course, when the Psalms speak of law
and commandments and precepts and word, it's talking about
God's word, the whole of revelation that God has given us of himself
in his word. And we do, we love God's law. Let's pray together. Our heavenly
father, thank you, Lord, for the revelation
that you've given us and thy perfect word of thy perfect son. Lord, thank you for the afflictions
that he suffered at Calvary's cross that the law might be fulfilled
and that thy justice might be satisfied, and that we might
be saved. Lord, we pray tonight that you
would direct our hearts and minds toward Christ, and Lord, that
we would find him to be our all in all. Lord, bless this hour
with your Holy Spirit, Make your word alive and effectual, sharper
than any two-edged sword. Lord, might it divide asunder
the thoughts and the intents of our hearts and reveal to us
our need for thy son. Lord, that you would bless us
with the faith to look to him and to rejoice in him. Lord, we thank you for Ann. We
thank you for the testimony of her faith and Lord for her faithfulness
over the years and pray Lord for David. Ask Lord that you
would give light and hope and truth to his heart as he struggles with the grief that he now has Lord, bless the services Saturday
and be glorified and be pleased to draw thy people unto thyself. We ask it in Christ's name. Amen. Let's stand together again. We'll
sing hymn number 199 from your hardback timbrel, 199. sinners Jesus will receive. Sound this word of grace to all
who the heavenly path may lead. All who linger, all who fall,
sing it o'er and o'er again. Christ receive his sinful men. Make the message clear and plain
Christ receiveth sinful men Come and He will give you rest. Trust Him for His word is plain. He will take the sinful last. Christ receiveth sinful men. Sing it o'er and o'er again. Christ receiveth sinful men. Make the message clear and plain. Christ, we see, is saved. Now my heart condemns me not,
pure before the law I stand. He who clefts me from all spot,
satisfied its last demand, singeth o'er and o'er again, Christ received
a sinful man. ? Christ received with sinful men
? Christ received with sinful men ? Even me with all my sin
? Purged from every spot and stain ? And with him I enter
in, singing o'er and or again. Christ, receive his sinful man. Make the message clear and plain. Christ, receive his sinful man. Please be seated. Matthew chapter 15. If you'd
like to turn with me there in your Bibles, Matthew 15. I don't know of a more clear, simple
story in God's Word that illustrates what we just sang. Here we have
a a Gentile woman that the Lord calls a dog. And she begs for
crumbs to fall from the master's table. And the Lord shows her
mercy. We often refer to this story
in preaching, I do, because I think it's so poignant. And usually, when we talk about
the Syrophoenician woman, it is in reference to the things
that I already mentioned, that the Lord called her a dog, ignored
her, the disciples wanted to be rid of her, and she confesses,
truth, Lord, truth, that's what I am. But the dogs eat of the
crumbs that fall from the master's table. Tonight, I want us to
look at this story in a little bit different light. I want us
to ask ourselves, why did the Lord treat her the way he did? Why did the Lord treat her the
way he did? I've titled this message, The
Proof of Faith. The Proof of Faith. I hope that by the end of this
time together that the Lord will confirm to our hearts the evidence
that we have of faith, of saving faith, God-given faith. Let's read these verses together.
Matthew chapter 15, beginning of verse 21. Then Jesus went
thence and departed into the coast of Tyre and Sidon. And
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coast and cried
unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David. My daughter is grievously vexed
with the devil. And he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought
him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us. And he answered
and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. Then came she and worshiped him
saying, Lord, help me. And he answered and said, it
is not me to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs. And she said, truth, Lord. Yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the master's table. Then Jesus answered and said
unto her, O woman, great is thy faith, be it unto thee even as
thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour. You turn with me now to Mark
chapter seven. I want to read Mark's account
of this event. Mark chapter 7. And we'll begin reading at verse
24. And from thence he rose and went
into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house
and would have no man know it, but he could not be hid. For
a certain woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of
him and came and fell at his feet. And the woman was a Greek,
the word there is Gentile, a Syrophoenician by nation, and she besought him
that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But
Jesus said unto her, let the children first be filled, for
it is not meat to take the children's bread and cast it unto dogs. And she answered and said unto
him, yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's
crumbs. And he said unto her, for this
saying, Go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy
daughter. And when she was come to her
house, she found the devil gone out and her daughter laid upon
the bed. Why did the Lord treat this woman
the way he did? She believed that he was the
Christ, she confessed that, son of David. Why would our Lord, who is the
perfection of goodness and love and mercy, compassion and gentleness,
one who pities the poor and the needy, seemingly treat her with
contempt. Why would he ignore her? Why would he publicly embarrass
her by calling her a dog? Why did the Lord, we know why
she did what she did, but why did the Lord do what he did? And the answer to this question
is the same answer as to why the Lord withholds from me and
you an immediate response to our prayers. Why does he not
deliver us quickly or quicker from the pain of trials? or the shame of our own sin or
the accusations of the accuser, why is the Lord often silent to you and me? Why does he allow others to discourage
us? That's what the disciples did
to this poor woman. What a discouragement their words
would have been. Send her away, Lord, she's embarrassing
us. We can understand the disciples
acting that way. For like me and you, they were
self-righteous and they were prejudiced. The Jews were prejudiced
towards the Gentiles. They believed them to be dogs.
They were outside of the covenant of grace. They had no word from
God. They lived pagan lives. And as far as the Jews were concerned,
they were all a bunch of dogs. And they made no bounds about
it. But here the Lord calls her that. I read one commentator and he
said, well, he was just using the Jewish term to refer to this
Gentile woman. No. Why does he call me and you dogs? Why is it that? that we're able
to so readily agree with the accusations that he makes against
us about what we are by nature left to ourselves. We would say
to him, truth, Lord, truth, I would be pagan, I would be godless,
I would be without any knowledge of God if you didn't show mercy
toward me, that's what I am by nature. We would say with Mephibosheth,
what would the king have to do with such a dead dog as I? We wouldn't agree with Goliath. You remember when David went
out to confront Goliath? Goliath was enraged. He said, what am I, a dog? Am
I a dog? You would send a boy out with
sticks and staves to come against someone like me? What do you
think I am, a dog? You see the contrast, don't you? A man standing in his own pride
and strength and self-righteousness might rebel against the idea
of being called a dog, but the Lord has convinced us that left
to ourselves, that is what we are. Why does the harmless Savior,
the harmless Savior treat this woman like this? And why does
he withdraw? Oftentimes he withdraws, not
his presence. He said, nothing can separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. He's in us
and with us. He said, I'll never leave you
nor forsake you. But how oftentimes we find ourselves in our dog state, if you will,
crying out to the Lord only to have him withdraw from us the
awareness of his presence. We look and we can't find him. And our prayers often seem like
they're not going to. Why does he do that? The one who pities his children
like no parent has ever pitied a child before. Why would he
not show pity to this woman when she asked? The one who sees us as sheep
without a shepherd and the scripture says his heart is moved with
compassion toward us. Is the way he treated this woman
inconsistent with who he is? I feel almost blasphemous even
asking that question because we know the answer is no. No,
it's not. Everything that he does for his
children is out of perfect love for them, and it's always for
their best. He's never been aloof, he's never
been condescending, and he's never been indifferent toward
his children, like he seems to be here on the surface, towards
this Gentile, Syrophoenician dog of a woman. who is in a pitiful,
pitiful place and pleading with the Lord to have mercy on her. Why does he do it? One reason, faith untried is
unproven. The Lord is trying our faith. The evidence of faith is importunity. The evidence of faith is perseverance. That's the evidence. We know
that faith is the evidence of our salvation. Faith is our trust
in Christ. Our reliance upon the Lord Jesus
for all of our righteousness and for all of our justification
before God. But how do I know that my faith
is a God-given faith? How do I know that it's not just
some intellectual ascent? How do I know that it's not just
some religious information? How do I know that it's saving
faith? James said, you believe that
there's one God to do well, the devils believe and they tremble.
The demons at the Gatherings knew who the Lord Jesus was and
they cried for the Lord not to cast them into hell. Have you
come to torment us before our appointed time? They knew who
he was. How do I know that my faith is
not is not just something that I've worked up. I need God-given
faith. I need saving faith. I need faith
that's true. And that faith, the Lord's going
to try it. He's going to prove it. And he
proves it, in the same way that he's proving
it now with this woman. Most people asking for help and
they're ignored would respond by saying, well, if that's the
way you feel about it, just forget it. You ask someone for help
and they just ignore you. And then their cohorts publicly
shame you by telling you to go away. And then the one you're
asking for help calls you a dog. And most people would just stomp
their feet and say, well, if that's the way you think about
it. You know, I've come to you humbly asking you for something
and you're gonna treat me like that? Forget it, I'll go find
help somewhere else. But she didn't do that. She worshipped
him. She worshipped him. She showed evidence. She agreed
with him. She took sides with him against
herself when she said, truth Lord, that's what I am. You see, this is what the Lord
is bringing out of her. The proof that her faith was
God-given. She couldn't walk away, she had
no place else to go. This was too important for her. Let me ask you this, who is it
exactly that needs our faith to be proved? Obviously, it's
not the Lord. He wrote the names of his people
in the land's book of life before time ever was. He knows exactly
who each one of his children are and he knows when he gives
them faith. He doesn't need the evidence
of our perseverance. He doesn't need the evidence
of our importunity in order to convince him that we have faith. He's the one that gave us faith.
He knows who has faith and who doesn't have faith. He knows
what's in man. And he knows whether there's
something in me and in you that he put there. So he's not putting us in this
position in order to prove to him whether we have faith. He knows his own sheep. His,
their names, every one of their names. Aaron had the names of
the children of Israel on his breastplate. And the Lord Jesus
as our high priest stands before almighty God. He's got our names
written in his heart. Oh, he knows. He knows he'll
come into him in faith and who's playing religion. He knows the
difference. He's not looking for, he's not
looking for proof. No man can pluck a single one
of his out of his hand. And when we believe not, he remaineth
faithful for he cannot deny himself. So what God's doing is not in
order for us to prove to him that we have faith. So who's the proof for? Who is it for? Is it for other
men? I hope that there's some evidence
of genuine saving faith in our lives to the people around us. I hope there is. I hope that, you know, that men
would ask us a reason for the hope that's within us when they
hear us talk and see us live. I hope that, but is that, does
it really matter whether or not someone else believes that I
have faith? Or if I don't, here's what, Does it really matter if anyone
else believes if I'm lost or saved? The religious, and you know this
from your own experience, the religious rely upon the affirmation
of others for the assurance of their salvation. And they call
you brother because they want you to call them brother. That's
why they do it. They need for you to affirm them
in their religious activity in order for them to have any assurance
whatsoever of their salvation. Is that where we are? Are we
looking for proof of faith from the affirmation of others? The religious when they are in
doubt are quick to give assurance to one another. If you come to me and say to
me, Greg, pastor, I just don't even know if I'm saved. I'm not going to try to convince
you you are. That'd be foolish. I'll pray with you, I'll remind
you of the truth of who Christ is, but I'm not going to recount
the events of your life or talk about what outward evidences
there are and try to give you some false sense of assurance. I can't speak peace to your heart.
You can't speak peace to my heart. It doesn't matter whether or
not we prove to one another if we're saved or not saved. This
proof of faith is not for God and it's not for others. Paul put it like this in 1 Corinthians
chapter four. He said, it is a very small thing
that I should be judged of you or of any man's judgment. I'm not, I'm not concerned about
what other people think. As I said, I hope that there
is evidence for the edification of others and for God's glory.
But at the end of the day, if I'm looking to man's approval
for the proof of my faith, oh, I'm standing on very, very unstable
ground. So why, why did the Lord treat
this woman the way he did? I need to know that my faith was
given to me. I'm the one who questions my
faith all the time. I'm the one that needs, that
needs proof of saving faith. And the evidence of that is that I have to persevere. I can't go away. I can't not
believe. I've got to have Christ. And whatever he does to withhold
from me the blessings that I think that I should have or that I
want, I have to keep coming To whom coming, that's the evidence. You see, saving faith is not
evidence because I came one. Religions do that. They hang
the hopes of their salvation on a religious experience they
had sometime in the past. Well, you know, I just, I had
this wonderful emotional experience and I prayed this prayer and
I did this and I did that and I nailed it down. That doesn't
work for us, does it? It doesn't work for us. We can't
rely upon a past experience. We can't look to whatever it
was that may or may not have happened. We can't eat yesterday's
manna. We have to have a fresh measure of manna and grace, daily
bread, daily bread. That brethren is the evidence. The only true eternal evidence
of faith is perseverance. Perseverance. If I'm able to
quit, If I'm able to walk away, if I'm able to not believe, then
it's only proof that I never believed to begin with. And the Lord, the Lord, in His
mercy, you see, He's not being condescending. He's not being
aloof. He's not treating her with contempt. Just the opposite. Just the opposite. He is showing her his mercy because
she's the one who needed proof of faith. She's the one who needed to be
put in a place where she had no place else to go but to keep
persevering and keep coming. The gifts of God and faith is
the first gift of God. And maybe we could say the most
important gift of God is faith in our experience of salvation,
faith. And the Bible says that the gifts
and the calling, that's the calling of the Holy Spirit to come to
Christ, the effectual call, are without repentance. In other words, God doesn't change
his mind. It's his work that continues
to cause us to persevere. Turn with me to James chapter
one. James chapter one. We'll begin in verse two. My
brethren, oh my brethren, count it all joy when you fall into
divers temptations. when the Lord seems to have withdrawn
his presence, when trials and troubles seem overwhelming, when
God puts you in a place that brings you to your wit's end.
That's what David said. He said, I'm at my wit's end.
That's a great place to be. You see, it's the Lord's mercy
that he would put us, that he would bring us to our wit's end.
And this is exactly what he does when he reveals to us what we
are by nature. Lord, I've got no place else
to go for this sin problem that I have. Lord, if you don't save
me, if you don't put away my sin, I've got no one else to go to. Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith That's what we're talking about. A faith untried
is unproven. And it's not being proven for
God's benefit, it's not being proven for other men's benefit.
By God's mercy and by God's grace, he's proving it for our benefit.
For our benefit. Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience. And that word is perseverance.
God tries our faith to put us in a place where we have to keep
asking, keep asking. But let patience have her perfect
work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing. Now who's to benefit from that?
We are. God's not benefiting from the
fact that we're perfect and entirely lacking. Other men are, we're
the benefactors. Here's why the Lord tries our
faith. It's for us. It's his mercy that he treats
us like he did this Syrophoenician woman. If any man lack wisdom, let him
ask of God. that giveth to all men liberally
and upbraideth it not." Now that word upbraideth means what it
might appear the Lord Jesus was doing to this Syrophoenician
woman, that's what it means to upbraid. It means to ignore,
it means to put off, it means to despise. It means to roll your eyes and
say, not you again. You coming to ask for more? Haven't
you done this enough? Every time I give you something,
you abuse it. I'm done with you. I'm upbraiding it. That's the
way we would treat one another. If a man took advantage of you
as much as you've taken advantage of God, you'd be upbraiding him. And here's what the Lord says,
he upbraideth it not. You've asked for wisdom before,
you've asked for discernment before, you've asked for grace
before, you've asked for bread before, keep asking, keep asking. He upbraideth it not. He gives
it to all men liberally. He gave it exactly what you need. David said, give me the bread
that's convenient for me. Lord, exactly in the measure
that I need for right now. But let him ask in faith. And
here's where the rubber hits the road. Let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like
a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. How wavering we can be. For let
not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
A double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways. Now if that means that with my
faith there is an element of doubt and fear and unbelief,
then I'm unstable. And I'm double-minded and I can't
expect to get anything from God because I'm being tossed about
by my emotions and by my thoughts and my fears and my feelings
all the time. Is that what the Lord's saying?
A double-minded man? No. Faith. is looking to, relying upon,
trusting in the Lord Jesus alone for all the hope of your salvation.
That's what faith is. Faith by its very nature is the
absence of works. Faith is what God does when he
brings us to the place of realizing that we've got no ground on which
to stand before God except the Lord Jesus. And God's grace and
the shed blood of Christ is the only place we can stand. That's
the only ground we can stand on. If we come before God thinking
That yes, I'm coming in the name of Christ, but I'm also coming
based on the evidences of my faith and the proof of my faith
and the way I've been living and what I've been thinking and
what I've been praying. In other words, we mix works
with faith. That's what it means to be unstable.
That's what it means to be double minded. We've got two minds. We think, well, is it all of
grace? If it is all of grace and it
cannot be of works, otherwise grace is not grace. You can't
mix the two. Can't mix works and grace. And
so what is the Lord doing? What was he doing for this Syrophoenician
woman? He was proving that her faith
was in Christ alone. He was bringing her to that place
where she had no place else to go, but to agree with him about
what she was by nature. I'm a dog, Lord. Just the dogs
eat the crumbs that fall from the children's plates. And you
know, here's the thing about a dog. I know Brian's got a dog,
he's never allowed to eat one scrap of food from the dinner
table, and that dog doesn't even come near the dinner table when
he's eating. But that's not like most of our
dogs, is it? Because you feed a dog one time
from the table, and you've ruined that dog. That dog will be at
your feet every time you go to the table. All you gotta do is
feed him one time. He gets a taste of that food that falls from
the master, he wants more. And so it is. The Lord's fed
us with one crumb of his grace. We're going to be like that little
puppy dog right at his feet begging for more. Begging for more. Oh, that's why the Lord proves
us. That's why he tries us. That's
why he... puts us in these places. That's
why he treated this woman the way he did. It was his love for
her. It wasn't his contempt for her. It's the same reason he treats
you and me the same way. It's out of love, it's out of
compassion, it's out of mercy to prove our faith to us, to
us. Yes, Lord. Turn with me to Luke chapter
11, and we'll close with this. Luke chapter 11. Yes. Verse five, and he said unto
them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him
at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
for a friend of mine is in his journey, and has come to me,
and I have nothing to set before him. And he, your friend, from
within his own house, shall answer and say, Trouble me not, the
door is now shut, and my children are With me in bed, I cannot
rise and give thee. I say unto you, though he will
not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because
of his importunity, he will rise and give it unto him as many
as he needeth. And I say unto you, ask. and it shall be given you. Seek,
and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened
unto you. And the verb tense in these verbs
in verse nine is a continual asking. It's not talking about,
we'll just ask and then, you know, keep asking, keep seeking,
keep knocking. For everyone that asketh, receiveth,
and he that seeketh, findeth, and to him that knocketh, it
shall be opened unto him. And if a son shall ask bread
of you, of any of you that is a father, will you give him a
stone? Or if he asketh fish, will he
for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall
your heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to them that ask Him
in importunity? Because that's the context of
what the Lord's saying. The Lord proves the faith of
his children for the faith of his children, for our benefit. I ask the Lord that I might grow
in faith and love and every grace might more of his salvation know,
and seek more earnestly his face. Twas he who taught me thus to
pray, and he, I trust, has answered prayer. But it has been in such
a way as almost drove me to despair. I hoped that in some favored
hour, at once he'd answer my request and by his love's constraining
power, subdue my sin and give me rest. Instead of this, he
made me feel the hidden evils of my heart and let the angry
powers of hell assault my soul in every part. Yay. More with his own hand he seemed
intent to aggravate my woe, cross my fair designs that I had schemed,
blasted my gourds and laid me low. Lord, why is this? I trembling
cried. Will thou pursue thy worm to
death? Tis in this way, the Lord replied.
I answer prayer. for grace and faith, these inward
trials that I employ from self and pride to set thee free and
break thy schemes of earthly joy, that thou might find thine
all in me." That's why the Lord treated her.
And that's why he treats us the way he treats us. It's out of
infinite love, mercy, and compassion that we might find our all in
him. Otherwise, you know this, you
get content with things, can't you? All right, let's stand together. Tom's gonna come and lead us
in that hymn. Number 35 in your spiral hymnal, number 35. We'll sing this a cappella to
the doxology. ? I ask the Lord that I might grow
? ? In faith and love and every grace ? ? Might more of his salvation
know ? ? And seek more earnestly his face ? T'was He who taught
me thus to pray, And He, I trust, has answered prayer. But it has been in such a way,
As almost drove me to despair. I hoped that in some favored
hour, at once he'd answer my request, and by his love's constraining
power, subdue my sins and give me rest. Instead of this, he
made me feel the hidden evils of my heart. And let the angry powers of hell
assault my soul in every part. ? Yea, more with his own hand
he seemed ? ? Intent to aggravate my woe ? ? Crossed all the fair

death? Tis in this way the Lord replied. I answer prayer for grace and
faith. These inward trials I employ. From self and pride to set thee
free, And break thy schemes of earthly joy, That thou mayest
find thy all in me.
