Psalm 139 - The Song of His Presence (Dan Abott)

God is always there with you. That thought can either be comforting or produce fear depending on your situation or stance. This Psalm progresses in thought to lead us to respond by laying our hearts, minds, and wills before God and to entrust him with every aspect of our lives that he already cares to know anyway.

Psalm 24 - The Song of Victory

Within the greater context of the Psalter, we follow the death, resurrection, and now the ascension of Jesus in Psalm 22, 23, and 24. There is only one, who is worthy to ascend the mountain to stand in the presence of God. The Lord who overcame the chaotic waters, the one with a pure heart and clean hands. We find ourselves among the generation of people who are looking for this one. Among those who seek a personal relationship with the God who wrestled with  their forefather Jacob. Join the celebration when you find Jesus! To find your blessing in the conquering king who returns to his throne!

Psalm 23 - The Song of the Shepherd

Psalm 23 is a favorite passage of scripture for so many! It has been memorized, quoted and sung for thousands of years. The power of this Psalm is found in it's fulfillment in Jesus! We follow the journey of a sheep from the green grass, to the valley of the shadow of death, on a journey to sacrifice on the hill of the Lord in God's house. There in the temple we are invited to the table where the feast has been prepared by Jesus, the lamb of God sacrificed his life for his sheep. Jesus, the lamb of God becomes our good shepherd which allows us to pray this beautiful Psalm as well! God graciously leads us through every season of life!

Psalm 15 - The Song of the Heart

Psalm 15 is a literary masterpiece as it presents a central focus to the Psalm. At the heart of the law you will find a relationship with Jesus the King!

Psalm 8 - The Song of the Name

The majesty of our Great God and Creator is displayed in the humble weakness of humanity! The unfathomable majesty displayed in the universe is revealed on earth through the cry of a child! The glory of God is perfectly displayed in the service and suffering of Jesus to redeem humanity!

Psalm 97 - The Song of Rejoicing (Ethan Zimmerman)

Guest speaker Ethan Zimmerman invites us to respond with rejoicing to the greatness of the king who rules with justice and righteousness!

Psalm 2 - The Song of the Gospel

The great doors of the Psalms begin in chapter 1 with "blessed is the man" and end in 2:12 with "blessed are all who take refuge in him." The 'him' is the Son, the King, the Anointed of God, the blessed man. We find our refuge, strength, and blessing by being found in the blessed man! Psalm 2 is the song of the gospel as nations rage, the Lord responds and the king reigns! How will you respond?

Psalm 1 - The Song of the Blessed Man

Blessed is the man... we often come to the Psalms looking at them like a mirror in which we see ourselves. This first of two great gates to the Psalms is a window for us to see the image of the blessed man, the one against the many. He does nothing wrong and everything he says comes from the Word of God. We don't find our blessing in how good of a person we are, we find our blessing by finding our refuge in the blessed man! 

Psalm 22 - The Song of the Cross

On the cross, Jesus quotes from Psalm 22. This rich Psalm is broken down into 3 stanzas that lead us on a journey from the cross to the resurrection. We see the tension, the trial, and finally the triumph in victory over the grave! A 1,000 years before Christ came, David through this Psalm prophesied about the death and resurrection of Jesus!

Psalm 118 - The Song of Palm Sunday

Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! This well known hope and prayer was a symbol to the nation of Israel that their king had come!
