We can only locate a handful of psalms to a specific time, place, and circumstance. Psalm 51 is one of those. We know that David was inspired to write this powerful psalm after he was caught sinning by taking Bathsheba as his wife, deceiving her husband and ultimately arranging his death. It is a powerful psalm that serves as a model for repentance.
Psalm 31
July 10, 2022 • Eric Laverentz • Psalm 31
We say we have faith in God, but do we really trust Him? David's words convey his complete trust in God. Jesus used these words as He was dying on the cross and showed absolute dependence on God.
Psalm 22
July 3, 2022 • Eric Laverentz • Psalm 22
Psalm 22 gives a brutal assessment of reality combined with an unwavering hope in God's power to restore, redeem, and renew. Jesus quotes this Psalm at the crucifixion and it is planted like a signpost in the middle of the Old Testament. It points to the One who was, who is, and is to come.
Psalm 19
June 26, 2022 • Eric Laverentz • Psalm 19
Psalm 19 teaches us about the ways we can know God, both through his creation and His Word. Pastor Eric tells us about how knowledge of God and His character can hold a mirror up to our hearts and begin to do the hard work of sanctification.
