Summer in the Psalms - Mountain View Church

7. Psalms 130

August 6, 2023 • Justin Holland • Psalm 130

This Psalm takes us from the depths of despair and the need for mercy, through the loving forgiveness of God, all the way to the anchoring hope we have in our Redeemer!

6. Pslam 51

July 30, 2023 • Jeff Glenning • Psalm 51

David sinned greatly against the LORD, but was called "a man after God's own heart" ... how is that? What makes all the difference is how we respond to conviction and correction: either with humility and confession, or pride and excuses.

5. Darkness

July 23, 2023 • Bart Jordan • Psalm 88

Psalm 88 is the darkest of the Psalms of lamentation. It begins and ends with sadness, and deep darkness. We are comforted that this Psalm reaches into the worst places of our lives, and we know that even there, God is with us. Jesus knows this kind of darkness even more fully than we do on our worst days. He endured full abandonment of God, so that we could enjoy the fullness of adoption by God.

4. Remember & Tell

July 16, 2023 • Ryan Parrish • Psalm 78

To look forward with faith, we must look back and remember God's faithfulness. This Psalm calls for us to not forget God like Israel did, but instead to remember and remind one another, and to tell of God's goodness to the coming generations.

3. Gladness in the Mission

July 9, 2023 • Taylor Neese • Psalm 67

Psalm 67 shows us the heart of God for all Nations to find their hope in Him and to be glad in Him. This must be the heart of every believer! We go to the nations with the gospel of Jesus because God is worthy of their worship and because their joy will only be complete in Him.

2. LORD Above All

July 2, 2023 • Judson Blewster • Psalm 127

Psalm 127 reminds us that we need God. Without Him all that we do is vanity. But with Him, all our effort can have eternal value.

1. The Blessed Man / The Anointed King

June 25, 2023 • Justin Holland • Psalm 1, Psalm 2

Psalms 1 and 2 serve as an introduction to the collection of 150 Psalms. They don't fit neatly in any category and their human author is not identified. These Psalms set the tone for the whole book. The Psalms engage our minds and hearts, calling our feelings to be informed by our faith.
