Judgment Day

Psalm 82:1-8

July 28, 2024 • Gavin Hesse • Psalm 82

Psalm 82:1-8 | Gavin Hesse | "Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!" We often downplay or altogether ignore God's role as judge. However, for God's people, his judgment promises deliverance and an end to wickedness. In Psalm 82, we see a picture of the hope and security that we have in the Lord.

MAIN IDEA

The Lord’s perfect justice offers rescue.

OUTLINE

I. The heavenly judge calls for perfect rule.

II. Sinful leaders create chaos.

III. The heavenly judge will return.

Sweet

September 1, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 133

Psalm 133:1-3 | Ben Potloff | "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" Unity, harmony, and community are all universally understood to be good things, but we often see our world marked more clearly by division, strife, and isolation. King David pens this psalm to reveal God's will for life to be lived in brotherly unity. Here, we see that where the Lord rules, unity reigns. MAIN IDEA God-given unity is sweet. OUTLINE I. Unity in the Lord is precious (vv. 1-2) II. Unity in the Lord is provided (v. 2-3)

Truly Great

August 25, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 145

Psalm 145:1-21 | Ben Potloff | "I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever." King David declares God's goodness and righteousness and the Lord's worthiness of our worship. David then announces his response to such a great God, and we see that we are to follow suit in how we praise the Lord. MAIN IDEA The greatness of God propels the praise of His people. OUTLINE I. God’s greatness is seen in His gracious acts II. God’s greatness is seen in His glorious reign

A Cry For Help

August 18, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 116

Psalm 116:1-19 | Ben Potloff | "I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy." How far gone is too far? What extreme need or danger is too much for God to handle? The truth is that there is no distance, no threat of death, no enemy, and no affliction that is too much for God to handle. In Psalm 116, we see that the Lord hears the prayers of his people and he rescues them. MAIN IDEA Our deliverer deserves devotion. OUTLINE I. The Lord delivers from death (vv. 1-11) II. The delivered devote their lives (vv. 12-19)
