We are in the home stretch of our 10-week study through the Psalms – one of the most beloved books of the Bible. This morning we will reflect on the major themes of Psalm 90…God is infinite, we are not. God is holy, we are not. Life is brief and life is hard. If God does not intervene to redeem the situation, there is no hope. But, praise God, He is a God of mercy and grace, actively redeeming that which has been broken, ultimately through the person and work of Jesus Christ!

We are continuing our new 10-week study through the Psalms – one of the most beloved books of the Bible. The Psalms teach us to pray, to sing, and jolt us out of our complacency to revel in the majesty of God. They speak to us as whole people as they inform our minds, stir our affections, direct our steps, and capture our imaginations. This morning,we are in Psalm 18. In this song of David,he seems to burst forth with great energy, spontaneously pouring out of his heart a song of affection, confidence, and rejoicing in the perfect ways of his loving God.

Last week, we began a brand new 10-week study through the Psalms – one of the most beloved books of the Bible. For millennia, the Psalms have served as the songbook for God’s people. The Psalms teach us to pray, to sing, and jolt us out of our complacency to revel in the majesty of God. This morning, we continue with Psalm 2 as the psalmist beautifully and poetically calls us to joyfully trust in the sovereign goodness of the rule and reign of Jesus.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Craig Sturm

Today, in Galatians 4:1-11, Paul paints a beautiful picture of what it means for the follower of Jesus to be adopted from “slave” to “son” by the sovereign grace and mercy of God the Father, through the glorious redeeming and adopting work of Jesus the Son.

Galatians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Craig Sturm

In Galatians 2:11-21 we come to Paul's introduction of a phrase he will use frequently as a sort of “gospel shorthand” – justification by faith. In this passage Paul describes a confrontation with Peter. Peter was acting out of the fear of man rather than the truth of the gospel, and undermining the freedom of the gospel message. Paul opposes Peter's actions and reminds us that justification is God's act of unearned favor toward us in Christ, and is obtained only through faith in Christ.

God has hard wired us to be grateful people. Yet, by nature, we lean toward complaining, grumbling, and self-absorption. That pull is so strong that we need something outside ourselves to fight against it. Today, we will unpack Psalm 69:29-34 to find God's perspective on thankfulness, grumbling, and complaining.
