Our Exalted Lord: Not Safe, But Good

Psalm 97

June 20, 2021 • Pastor Paul Edwards

Give

Psalm 97 pulls back the veil on the throne of Heaven where we see our Sovereign Lord veiled in thick darkness with fire proceeding before Him. Our God is not safe, but He is good because righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

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.
