Enemies

Psalm 3:1-8

July 14, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 3

Psalm 3:1-8 | Ben Potloff | "Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people!" For King David—and all of God's people—enemies and opposition abound. But, there is great hope for those who look to the Lord in their trouble. Here, we see that in the Lord there is security, sustenance, and salvation.

MAIN IDEA

Enemies may surround, but the Lord saves.

OUTLINE

I. God’s people are often resisted (vv. 1-2)

II. God’s people are redeemed (vv. 3-8)

Is It Worth It?

July 21, 2024 • Max Janusch • Psalm 33

Psalm 33:1-22 | Max Janusch | "Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you." God is the creator and ruler of all things and all people. There is nothing outside of his control or his awareness. In Psalm 33, we see that God is truly worthy of the worship of his people. MAIN IDEA Your Lord is worthy of your worship. OUTLINE I. The Lord holds all things and all people. (vv. 1-12) II. The Lord knows and saves his people. (vv. 13-22)

Moved By Glory

July 7, 2024 • Tim Smith • Psalm 73

Psalm 73:1-28 | Tim Smith | "But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works." It often feels unfair that the wicked and ungodly seem to prosper in this life. Asaph, in Psalm 73, wrestles with the same frustration and comes to a glorious conclusion. Here, we are called to trust in the Lord and his plan for the godly and the ungodly.

Fear God, Be Blessed

June 30, 2024 • Luke Hendrix • Psalm 112

Psalm 112:1-10 | Luke Hendrix | "Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments!" It is a wonderful thing to be counted among the people of God, for God loves and intends to bless his children. Here, we see the perseverance of the saints of God. OUTLINE I. Save your fear for the one who deserves it. II. Does fearing the Lord really guarantee us a charmed life? III. Fear of the Lord, is not about trying but trusting.
