If you have your Bibles, I invite you to turn to Exodus 20 That the commandments reflect the character of God brings us to the second overview question I wish to address in our series, and that is “who spoke the ten words?” At first blush, the answer to this question is kind of on the nose, isn’t it?…
In Psalm 10, the sense that God is absent comes from a heightened awareness wickedness in the world, and leads the psalmist to a desperate prayer of faith for deliverance and ultimate justice. When this world seems full of injustice and evil, the only hope we have is that God is a wise and fatherly king who will call wickedness to account and will give aid to those who find themselves in a position of dire helplessness.
Psalm 9 teaches us to praise God in remembrance of his character and deeds - specifically for the just punishment of his enemies and his remembrance of the oppressed. Instead of forgetting our humble human position, we praise God for his mercy toward us and long for the day when he will bring full and final judgment to those who forget Him.
James Montgomery Boice: It would be difficult to say anything negative about any one of the psalms, since each is a part of sacred Scripture and is given to us by God for our benefit. Every psalm in the Psalter has undoubtedly been of great spiritual benefit to many millions of persons. Yet we cannot…
Psalm 7 presents a scenario where David has been falsely accused by a certain man from the tribe of Benjamin named Cush. Have you ever been falsely accused? We tend to feel a mix of outrage and helplessness when we are. This Sunday we'll see how David responded to false accusation, and what we can learn from him. We'll also consider the most grievous of false accusations to ever take place, and how our Savior responded when false witnesses were brought against him.
The wailing cry of anguish is the tone of Psalm 6. The emotional expression in it reaches a fever pitch. And yet here is the remarkable thing that we’re going to look at closely this Sunday about this psalm: the motivating factor for David’s deliverance from the state of his troubled soul is not primarily comfort and reprieve. What David’s troubled soul longed for the most was the glory of God.
1 Samuel and the book of Acts describe David as a man after God's heart. He had a genuine relationship with God. If you've been around a Gospel-preaching church for long, you may have heard the phrase, "it's not about religion, it's about having a relationship with God." Psalm 5 gives us a glimpse into the reality of that phrase through the prayer of David. This Sunday we'll explore what it means to have that kind of relationship with the Lord.
As we continue our series, Summer in the Psalms, we are confronted with a question of eternal importance from Psalm 2: What will you do with the appointed Son who reigns as world-wide king?! Come Sunday as we consider the irrational worldwide conspiracy against God's anointed king as well as the only logical response to a full understanding of the universal authority that has been given to the resurrected messiah-king about whom Psalm 2 prophesied.
This Sunday we'll begin a new series entitled, "Summer in the Psalms." The Psalms teach us about the two ways a person can go in life: the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked. And most importantly they show us that only one person will be truly righteous: the Messiah King, who will come in the future to rule the world in righteousness and justice. In this way, the psalms teach us about our savior, King Jesus. We'll begin our series with Psalm 1, considering carefully the contrast between the righteous and the wicked as pictured by a tree and by chaff.
Over the last few weeks we’ve learned about how the new creation lifestyle of love, peace and focus on Christ’s word deepens our fellowship with other believers in the church, and makes an impact in our homes and workplaces. This week, we’re going to see how that new creation lifestyle is meant to lead…

Turn to Colossians 3 The last two weeks we have looked in depth at Colossians 3:5-11 and at the primary command in verse 5 in particular.
