A Prayer for Help

Psalms of Intimacy with God

August 21, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Psalm 25

Times of sunshine and times of storm can direct us to the presence of God. Both have the power to create a sense of gratitude and reliance upon God. In Psalm 25 David lifts his soul to God in a context of trouble. He discovers not only the deliverance, but the steadfast love of our Lord.

Confidence in God

August 23, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Psalm 27

Enemies, threats and fears have this in common. When you stare at them, they get bigger. Psalm 27 is a call to shift our focus from what might shake us, to the unshakable presence of God. We are to seek His face and find shelter and courage. More so, we find that we are loved. A marriage is not just a set of obligations. Parenting is not simply a role of protection and provision. The most vital relationships of life are meant to be intimate connections of heart. So too with our relationship with God. In this 5-message series, Dr. John points to the Psalms as both invitation and instruction to know God deeply. Exactly what we want and need.

A Prayer for Vindication

August 22, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Psalm 26

To be vindicated is to be found innocent of accusations. In a deceitful world, unfounded claims and slander can be found. In Psalm 26, David prays for vindication from his enemies. He does not trust in his own perfection but in the eternal justice and righteousness of God.

Approaching the King of Glory

August 20, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Psalm 24

An infinite God cannot be reduced to a single description. The Scriptures use various images and titles to portray His grandeur. The title of "King" meant much to ancient ears, but we may struggle with the term today. Listen as Dr. John points to the majesty of our Lord and the grace He extends to welcome us into His court.
