Sermons About Psalm
Praise the Lord!
Bible students call the last five psalms the 'Hallelujah Psalms'. This is because they all start and end with the Hebrew word "Hallelujah". Here, at the end of the book of Psalms, God agrees to love and give help to His people. And His people agree to love and obey Him. Nothing is more reasonable or more logical than worship. If God doesn't exist then worship is insanity. You're worshipping someone that isn't real. But if God exists then nothing is more logical or reasonable than worship. If God exists, then anything less than all-out worship is totally illogical. Key Passage: Psalm 146-150

What To Do With Our Desires
Each day we are faced with a choice between two desires: the desire between the deceitful desire for sin and the Spirit-inspired desire for God. However, we can sing for joy because the judgment that all our idolatry and sinful desires deserved fell upon Him as He tucked us under His wing and was our shield in our greatest moment of need.

Relentless Search
Psalm 139 is a great passage in that it not only tells us much about the nature of God (i.e. He is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent), but it also shows us that He is relentless in His search for people because He has a matchless love and care for His creation. Psalm 139 reminds us that long before we began our search for God, He was already searching for us. God's first words to man in the garden were not, "what did you do wrong" or "I'm gonna get you for that" - His first words were "Where are you?". God is on a relentless search because He desires relationship with His people. The fact that God knows every little detail about David's life doesn't terrify him but brings him great comfort and peace. You need to know that God's infinite knowledge, presence, and power is with you throughout the vicissitudes of life and no matter what life throws at you, He loves you, is concerned about you, and is always with you.

What To Do With Our Depression
We were not made for depression. Our bodies can not run on the fuel and sadness that depression feeds upon. We lose ourselves and break down. God’s glory is diminished and our ability to share His glory with others is significantly hindered. In times of spiritual drought we have to start preaching, start speaking, start talking to ourselves. Grab your soul by its shoulders and start preaching the Gospel to it.

What's your view?
What we see in life depends many times at where we are looking. At times we can miss the view, we can become focused and moving towards the wrong things. Looking at the wrong things will also change our view of God. If we miss the view we miss the beauty of God and life gets covered in one big dark shady cloud. The challenge is to look again and see even in the pain, struggle and suffering of life the amazing beauty God has painted for us. Key Passage: Psalm 73

What To Do With Our Guilt
Guilt often produces shame because as we come to see that we’ve done wrong, we begin to feel that we’re not being who we believe we should be. When you lie to someone, you not only feel guilt for lying, but you feel shame because you see how much of a coward you are, or how much of a conman you are. Shame brings you face-to-face with the inconsistency of your identity. With guilt, the solution is to have your sins atoned for, the penalty to be paid. With shame, the response is a desire for glory, to be covered.

Don't forget to live
I see it everyday. My face in the mirror. It reminds me of a lot of things. Rugged good looks, wow, that was awkward, sorry digressed there for a second. I see tired lines, aged skin, and seemingly empty eyes sometimes. I see decisions that I have made. Decisions based on what I think is best, what others have recommended or what they told me to do in a book. But how often does my face ex‐ claim that, today, I fell to my knees in humble adoration to the Father. Today I prayed to Him. Today, as much as I humanly could, I gave God the decision making power. Not often enough. What about you? Key Passage: Psalm 127
