As we launch into our Summer in the Psalms series, we dive into the first Psalm in the book of Psalms. This is a Wisdom Psalm – one chalked full of imagery that paints a picture of the person who seeks out God, His Word and pursues godliness in contrast to the one who disregards God and seeks to live by the ways of the world. The psalmist is pointing out: there is no greater wisdom than ordering our lives according to the Word of God. We see the "principle of the path" - the right path will take you where you want to go; the wrong path will take you anywhere but where you really want to go.

Psalm 145
July 28, 2019 • Pastor Jack Schull
We have a phrase we use: 'sing the praises' - referring to when we talk up or share about something or someone that means a lot to us. Psalm 145 is chalked full of insights, understandings and instruction all about praise for God. King David is talking up God, practicing his praise to the Lord and pushing us to follow his pattern - to make praise a normal and natural part of our lives. It's helping us learn how to PAUSE to PRAISE and to grow our relationship with God.
Psalm 103
July 14, 2019 • Pastor Jack Schull
This Psalm is David writing himself a 'spiritual sticky note' - if you will. A reminder of all He's been given in having life with God. David is challenging himself and US – don’t let your hearts become ungrateful or drift from living with a thankful heart! Grow your gratitude by never losing sight of God's benefits. More gratitude will not come from more acquisitions, but from more awareness of God's presence with you and God's goodness to you. His blessings and benefits!
