Psalm 102: Lament

August 27, 2023 • Cole Feix • Psalm 102

Give

Everywhere you look in the Bible, you'll find lament. Life is difficult, painful, and filled with struggles and God wants us to come to him in your pain. The Psalms teach us the pathway from lament to trust. Even when nothing changes in our circumstances, we change, God draws near to us, and we learn to trust him more.

Psalm 107: The Goodness of God

September 24, 2023 • Kerwin Dees • Psalm 107

As is the case in so many Psalms, this one begins in trouble. There are four requests to God in this Psalm, and by the end, he's answered them all. Through the process, we learn to come to God and trust in his goodness, no matter what we're facing. Preacher: Kerwin Dees

Psalm 73: Doubt

September 3, 2023 • Cole Feix

Psalm 73 models nearly everything the Psalms teach us about emotions. The psalmist begins with duty and ends with delight. He begins envious of the ungodly and ends exclaiming, "Whom have I in Heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth I desire besides you." How did this change take place? When he went into the sanctuary, God gave him a new perspective, a new beginning, and a new direction. Through this psalm, God can do the same thing for us.

Psalm 52: Anger

August 13, 2023 • Cole Feix • Psalm 52

Can we just skip the angry Psalms? So many of the psalms capture feelings of anger, rage, and bristling against injustice. Then and now, anger is a part of our lives, and the Psalms show us how to recognize, evaluate, and act on our feelings. God meets us in our anger and changes us. In Psalm 52, David models good anger with a great response.
