Psalms of Intimacy with God

August 19, 2024 • Dr. John Neufeld • Psalm 23

What is familiar can be taken for granted. Psalm 23 is the most well-known of the Psalms. Many can recite it, but many also can miss the nature of the relationship David describes with his Lord. Listen as Dr. John walks us through familiar ground to a deeper appreciation of God's grace to us all.

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.

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.

A Prayer for Help

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.
