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.

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)
Enemies
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)
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.

II. Does fearing the Lord really guarantee us a charmed life?

Bless You!
June 23, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 103
Psalm 103:1-22 | Ben Potloff | "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!" The more you consider the Lord's attributes, character, and works, the more reason you have to sing his praises, tell of his mighty deeds, and obey him. It is an honor to serve and praise the Lord!

The Atheist Delusion
June 16, 2024 • Ben Potloff • Psalm 14
Psalm 14:1-7 | Ben Potloff | "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" How do finite people relate to an infinite God? How does mankind compare with the God who created it? In Psalm 14, King David considers man's position in the face of a holy, mighty, good, and wise God.
MAIN IDEA
Fools reject God, but God rescues His people.
OUTLINE
I. We are fools (vv. 1-3)
II. God is faithful (vv. 4-7)
