| 0:05.7 | Psalm 112 verses 6 and 7. The righteous will never be moved. He will be remembered forever. He is not |
| 0:13.6 | afraid of bad news. His heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. I really want to camp out on that |
| 0:21.0 | second verse, but the first verse is really important for context. Verse 6 says the righteous |
| 0:26.7 | will never be moved. The picture of someone who lives blamelessly before God and we obviously |
| 0:33.8 | know none of us is righteous in and of ourselves. The Psalms make that clear. Romans chapter 3 |
| 0:40.3 | quotes from the Psalms saying there's no one righteous not even one. None of us is righteous |
| 0:45.8 | in and of ourselves, but this is the beauty of the gospel. Jesus' righteousness is credited to |
| 0:51.7 | all who trust in him as Savior and Lord of our lives. We become righteous in Jesus. God sees |
| 1:01.2 | all who have trusted in Jesus' righteous before him, accepted before him, and then we live |

| 1:31.2 | think about it. There's so many examples of bad news that could happen in any one of our lives |
| 1:36.5 | today. And if you think about it very long, you will start to be worried, anxious, afraid, |
| 1:41.3 | but that's the beauty of verse 7. He is not afraid. The righteous one is not afraid of bad news. |
| 1:47.5 | His heart is firm, is steady. Verse 8 says trusting in the Lord. When you are trusting in God, |
| 1:56.6 | you don't have to be afraid of anything, including bad news because you know your life is held |
| 2:03.1 | by the God who has now put it all together. Made you righteous by his love for you in Jesus, |
| 2:10.7 | who has secured your eternity in Jesus, who loves you enough to send his son to die on a cross |
| 2:17.7 | for you, to make you righteous before him, to forgive you of all your sin, to restore you, |
