Sermon Summary: Psalm 40 is a breath after a deep plunge, the break of dawn after a long night. David the King wrote it as liturgy for all kings who followed him to frame their experiences in light of God’s deliverance. It describes the experience of every OT saint and every NT Christian, the united experiences of all of God’s people. And it invites us to find our place in God’s story through this kingly liturgy.

Sermon Summary: Between Psalm 1 and Psalm 37, there’s a lot of ground, and a lot of lament. Are the righteous really like a tree and the wicked like the chaff? Psalm 37 reorients us to respond wisely as we watch the wicked--those with no fear of God yet who seem to be prospering.

Sermon Summary: For what purpose does God bless his people? What does he intend those gifts to be used towards? Psalm 67 gives us the answer: God blesses his people, so that his people might bless the nations, so that the nation might worship God. So in line with that, it’s appropriate as the people of God, to pray for the blessing of God to leverage it for the mission of God.

Sermon Summary: Cultural Christianity deadens us to the glory and beauty of the gospel--and we are each influenced by this cultural Christianity. From Psalm 31, we discover the incredibly overlap between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and discover three unfamiliar, yet strikingly counter-cultural ways to say, “I’m a Christian.”

Sermon Summary: Psalm 29 is like a decadent multi-layered cheesecake. Each layer is delicious on its own, but when stacked--well, the effect is overwhelming.
