We Will Praise Him More and More

CC Sermon • Psalm 71

August 6, 2023 • Mike Schumann

In this sermon on Psalm 71, Pastor Mike Schumann expounds upon the significance of the Psalmist's praise and how that connects to the way God cares for us. The psalmist wants us to see that his own praising of God is proof that God is his strong refuge, his mighty fortress. Let’s hear the songs ourselves when we praise God, “Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with thee.” Following the season of life we never wanted, never asked for, and don’t see any way out of: Let’s continue to praise God more and more.

Win Them With Mercy

August 13, 2023 • David Mathis

In this sermon on Psalm 72, Pastor David Mathis expounds upon this 3000-year-old, yet timeless, prayer for an ideal leader. This passage points to the ideal leader, King Jesus, who is unmoved. Jesus is the one true, perfect, immovable leader. Beyond Jesus, the passage reveals four aspects of the ideal leader: his people flourish, his strengths serve his people’s good, his heart pities the needy, and his God get glory. All of us are led and lead in some way so this passage is very practically applicable to all of us.
