Sermons About Chastening
That My Glory Would Sing His Praises!
In the 30th Psalm, The title tells us that it is presented at the "Dedication of the House of David." How are we to understand this? Is it the dedication of a building, or is it more significant than that? As I studied it I came to the conclusion that David is more likely dedicating his family and his posterity. Do you want to dedicate your family to the Lord? You should. Listen to what David prayed and sang as he did.

Receiving Correction
Receiving correction from the Lord should not be something we hid from, but should diligently seek and receive for our benefit. If we receive his chastening or correction, we are wise and will be on our way to fulfilling HIs purpose and destiny for our lives. Ignore God's correction and we will miss the mark. God is our Father, therefore He corrects us for our profit and benefit. He does not want us to miss the mark of His blessing and fulfillment.

The Sanctification of our Affliction
The reason I am preaching this passage this morning is so we can come to appreciate and sanctify our affliction that the Lord gives us as we run the race set before us with endurance. From our text, Hebrews 12:5-11, we need to see two very important biblical facts concerning the discipline of the Lord that we need to understand. 1. We must understand that discipline is a fact of the Christian life. 2. We must understand that sanctified affliction brings forth the fruit of discipline.
