Praise in the Desert Place

November 17, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 63:2–11

This Sunday, RD continues in Psalm 63, where David, in the wilderness, thirsts for God's presence, meditating on His power, glory, and steadfast love, emphasizing that only God can satisfy his deepest needs. Beholding God's glory is not a glance but an intentional gaze that transforms us into His likeness, leading to praise and adoration. Christ, the ultimate King, bore our sins and provides living water, urging us to look to Him and let that perspective define our lives. As an act of aligning our hearts with God's steadfast love and transformative power, we need to have heartfelt praise, even from places of brokenness.

Earnestly I Seek You

November 10, 2024 • RD McClenagan • Psalm 63:1–4

This Sunday, RD begins a two week series on Psalm 63. He looks at the stories of Martha and Mary and King David, highlighting the importance of choosing what truly matters: sitting at His feet and seeking Him wholeheartedly. As believers, we need to rekindle our desire for God, seeking intimacy and deeper connection rather than getting lost in busyness and distractions. We should have a "first love" posture, a passionate pursuit of God that transforms our personal lives and interactions with others. Through heartfelt prayer and worship, the invitation is to experience the fullness of God’s presence, allowing His love to fuel a genuine, burning desire to know Him more.
