Hurry, God!

CC Sermon • Psalm 70

July 30, 2023 • Kevin Kleiman

In this sermon on Psalm 70, Pastor Kevin Kleiman expounds upon the text by looking at what the text says, how it points to Jesus, and why it matters for us. David is in crisis, and he responds by crying out to God for help, also praying for the souls of those persecuting him. Jesus responds similarly in the Gospels, although he takes it even a step further by praying that God would deal with his enemies by forgiving them. How then should we respond?

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.
