Sermons About Consolation
The Consolation of the Word
In this section of Psalm 119, we will be considering how we can find consolation in the Word of God. It is normal for the believer’s faith to be tested from time to time. God will comfort us! He does so not just to console us in the midst of trials – but to teach and prepare us to be able to minister comfort to others. In this section we will see: 1. The source of all Consolation 2. The Need of Consolation; 3. The Beliver's Desire in Consolation; and 4. The Testimony of Consolation.

A Good Memory Brings Comfort to God's Child (Psalm 119:49-56)
The psalmist is in the midst of affliction and in the process of waiting on God for deliverance. However, in the midst of his waiting He calls on God to remember His Word, and he himself is comforted by remembering the past works of God on behalf of His people; and by remembering God’s nature and character. The remembrances and thoughts of God that comfort the psalmist and strengthen his love for God and hatred of wickedness, are all centered around God’s word.

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Prophecy
God is still giving the gift of prophecy to his people; we should desire all gifts and the gift of prophecy in particular; and we should strive to practice this gift in obedience to scripture. Prophecy as practiced in the NT church was primarily concerned with the edification, encouragement and consolation of God's people rather than with prediction of the future. Contrasted with the gift of tongues, although both gifts are equally a work of the Holy Spirit, prophecy is able to be understood by all; it is addressed towards people rather than towards God; it builds up not only the speaker but also the hearers; and it convicts unbelievers. Phil also discusses some practicals of prophecy in the Lord's day meeting in our church.
