​My Worth is Not in What I Own
Fernando Ortega, Keith and Kristyn Getty
 
My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross
 
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross
 
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest treasure
Wellspring of my soul
And I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied in Him alone
 
As summer flowers we fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross
 
I will not boast in wealth or might
Or human wisdom's fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross
 
Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed, my ransom paid
At the cross
 
 
 

I will Trust My Saviour Jesus
CityAlight
 
I will trust my saviour Jesus
When my darkest doubts befall
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all
 
I will trust my saviour Jesus
Trust Him when my strength is small
For I know the shield of Jesus
Is the safest place of all
 
Jesus, only Jesus
Help me trust You more and more
Jesus, only Jesus
May my heart be ever Yours
 
I will trust my saviour Jesus
He has said His way is best
And I know the path He's chosen
Leads to everlasting rest
 
Oh on that cross, how it was seen
I can go now ever trusting
in the One who died for me
What could I bring,
for Your gift is complete
So I trust You, simply trust You,
Lord with every part of me

1. What has God been teaching you through last week’s message – “Show Your Treasure” – from ISAIAH 39:1-8? Read the texts once more and discern what the holy Spirit is desiring to say through it.

----------------------------------------------
1 At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent envoys with letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered. 2 And Hezekiah welcomed them gladly…
 

1. [v.1-2a] Although God had graciously healed and extended Hezekiah’s life by 15 years, what did Hezekiah do when the wicked Babylonian messengers sent him letters and a present?
2. *The biblical principle – It is possible to receive the grace of God in a time of need, yet turn around to welcome the pleasures of man in a time of plenty. What are you welcoming gladly that is not from the Lord?

----------------------------------------------
…And he showed them his treasure house, the silver, the gold, the spices, the precious oil, his whole armory, all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his house or in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them.
 

1. [v.2b] Hezekiah not only welcomed these wicked Babylonian envoys, he also did what?
2. *The biblical principle – What we show to others is often the unseen treasure within ourselves. What are you showing from the pride within? What is your unseen treasure?

----------------------------------------------
3 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.” 4 He said, “What have they seen in your house?” Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing in my storehouses that I did not show them.”
 

1. [v.3-4] The prophet Isaiah now confronts Hezekiah for what he has done. What kind of questions does Isaiah ask in order to bring conviction to Hezekiah?
2. *The biblical principle – Knowing who your treasure is shown to is a way the holy Spirit brings conviction. Who is your treasure being shown to, where you are willing to not withhold anything from? How does the holy Spirit bring conviction to your heart?

 
 
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts: 6 Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up till this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the Lord. 7 And some of your own sons, who will come from you, whom you will father, shall be taken away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
 

1. [v.5-7] What was the Lord’s word and judgment to Hezekiah for his actions?
2. *The biblical principle – God removes all to become all for us – our highest and only lasting treasure. What is the Lord removing? How is this making Him your all?

----------------------------------------------
8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my days.”
 

1. [v.8] A terrible word of judgment from God was announced, yet why was Hezekiah not too concerned with it?
2. *The biblical principle – What’s far more important than prospering in your days is when you will stand before God on His day. Are you ready for His day? Do you desire for Jesus to come now or stay away a little longer? How can we long for the day of the Lord?

 
The central truth of this word was – Like Hezekiah, we too have been gifted by God with remaining undeserved years to life. How will we live out this grace? Will we welcome the praises of man or live for the pleasures in Christ? Will we show to others our true unseen treasure, knowing who our treasure is by the holy Spirit’s constant conviction, or hold on to the seen treasures of life? May the LORD remove all to become all – our highest and only lasting treasure. May His day over our days be the living and growing hope, so that we might walk humbly with Him. Until that day, show your treasure! – *How has the LORD spoken to you today through this?

Life-Praying
Pray for one another.
 
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18)
 
…do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7)
