Biblical Justice: The Salvation of Our God

Psalm 98

June 27, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards

Give

The primary concern of the psalmist in Psalm 98 is justice. He calls this justice "God's salvation" (v. 1) and "the salvation of our God" (v. 3).

The world is longing for justice. Every news cycle reminds us of that. The salvation of our God is the justice the world longs for, but is blind to. The world is looking for justice in all the wrong places.

In this message we identify how biblical justice differs from social justice and God's plan to impose His justice on the world.

Inciting Hallelujahs

September 5, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards • Psalm 117

Psalm 117 is the gospel in miniature. Here, both Jew ("the people") and Gentile ("the nations") are called upon to praise Jehovah. But how can Gentiles, whose gods are idols, be expected to praise Jehovah, the exclusive God of Israel? What has God done to incite shouts of "Hallelujah!" even from those who don't recognize Him as God?

God in the Dock

August 29, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards • Psalm 44:8–16

What do you sing when your present (negative) experience of God contradicts what you believe about God? How do you reconcile God's 'former favor' with your 'experience of pressing ills'?

The God of Yeshurun

August 22, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards • Deuteronomy 33:26–29

Yeshurun is not a proper name. It is a term of endearment used by God to endear Himself to His people, even when we have rebelled against the lavish overtures of His grace.
