I invite you to turn with me this evening to Psalm 18. We’ve just had sung a preview of the psalm. I’m going to read the whole of the psalm this evening. My wife grew up in a home that held a portrait of a 19th century Christian named James Garfield. Garfield had a complicated…
Lord, it’s a good word that we sang together earlier in this service. You are Your own interpreter and You will make it plain. That’s true of Your providence in what we see happening in the world and it is surely true when we open Your Word to read it. We ask now that the…
Good evening and thank you once again to Pastor Kevin and Mike and the rest of the leadership for the opportunity to share from God’s Word again tonight. Allow me to read from Psalm 117. It’s a very short psalm, Psalm 117. The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. “Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol Him, all…
Thank you again for the opportunity to preach from God’s Word this morning. I would like to read from Psalm 67. Thank you, choir, for singing Psalm 67. Psalms are meant to be sung, but let’s read Psalm 67 anyway. Psalm 67. “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His…
So Father we come before You now, before Your Word, to put our hope in You. We pray that You would work that by the power of Your Spirit, that You would fix our eyes on You. We say to You, speak, O Lord, speak, for Your servants are listening. We pray this in Jesus’…
It’s not looking good for the waterworks tonight so far. I was fighting back tears that whole song, so bear with me. Also bear with me, you guys might know the Mark Twain quip that says I wanted to write you a short letter but I didn’t have time, so I wrote you a long…
O Lord, as we have just sung, and as we will read in just a moment, that, too, is our prayer, that we would not forget Your Word, that we would delight in Your statutes and that You now would delight to speak to us. In Jesus we pray. Amen. This sermon has one big…
God loves to hear from you, and He will do more than we can ask or imagine. So don’t waste your summer. Don’t waste time feeling all of the guilt of I should have been praying more and now I’m not praying very well. Just pray. Just go out on a long, wandering walk and pray. Make time for the freedom and joy of long prayer, to think your meandering thoughts in the presence of God and see what God will do to bless you.
