This Is Our God
This Is Our God Reconnect – July 19, 2009 Text: Psalm 19:1-14; John 10:27-28 Key Thought: God speaks in different ways, but with one purpose: so that we can know Him better, with all that means for our lives. The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display his marvellous craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; Night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or a word; Their voice is silent in the skies; Yet their message has gone out to all the earth, And their words to all the world. The sun lives in the heavens where God placed it. It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight to life. Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to those who hear them; There is great reward for those who obey them. How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep me from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:1-14, NLT)

What To Do With Our Fears
Fear, anger, doubt, tears, guilt and depression are all emotions that we’ve experienced and will experience. Some, even today, may feel completely overwhelmed by one or several of these emotions. The challenge for us as God’s people is not IF you’ll struggle with these, it’s HOW you’ll struggle that makes all the difference.

The Journey
Do you ever wonder why certain parts of the Bible become so popular? What is it about Psalm 23 that connects with us? Reading Psalm 23 is like someone has taken the mixed up graffiti letters in our soul and placed the letters together in a beautiful way expressing confidence and trust in God that we all so desperately need in a confusing world. Psalm 23 fills us with hope to travel on because we are on a journey; an outer and inner journey, a journey of fullness and emptiness, of quiet and chaos, right turns and wrong turns, death and life, fear and security, friends and enemies, fasting and feasting. This journey seems very hard to make sense of, like color thrown randomly at a blank sheet of paper. The truth that we travel this journey with God does not make it easy or simple but it does bring color, beauty and meaning. Psalm 23 reminds us all that the Lord is guiding us and cares for us. This is a truth every person on the planet longs to rest in.

Renewed Joy
When we first put our faith in Jesus and become Christians, this is only the first step of faith we take as Christians. Our lives must be characterized by faith and repentance if we are to live joyfully in the good of the gospel. In this sermon, we look at Psalm 126 to see how our joy can be renewed in Jesus.

Roll On
I love that little blue Kelowna book. Love it. It's full of maps, hints about where to eat and places to have a great time searching for your golf ball. (Well, some of us have to search.) I love it because it helps me recalibrate my perspective. There's another book that I love looking at for a perspective adjustment. Except it doesn't so much have street maps as it does soul maps. It has words like "trust", "commit" and "be still". It inspires, commands, laments, encourages, tells stories of tragedy, failure and hope. It renews our focus on God - on who He is and what He can do. Key Passage: Psalm 37

Voices
Psalm 1 sets the tone for the the entire book of Psalms (and all wisdom literature for that matter) in that it shows the life giving wisdom in having concern for God, His Word, and godly living. Psalm 1 is an invitation and encouragement for God's people to strive to live wise and godly lives. This Psalm shows us that in life we have a choice - a choice of two lifestyles (the same two lifestyles we see depicted throughout wisdom literature) the choice of life or death - blessings or curses - a choice to go God's way or my own way - the choice of devotion to self or devotion to God and others. Will you devote yourself to the voice of God and His wordor will you listen to your own voice and/or the voice of the world and its philosophies? Key Passage: Psalm 1

Jesus: Our King of Ascent
Where do you turn when things don’t go the way you expect or want? Where do you turn when everything seems to be going your way? What we often fail to realize is the place we turn in difficult or abundant times is really a deeper expression of where our true affections lie. In other words, the object of our worship is revealed. In this message, we will look to Jesus, and explore His attributes as King.

Worship in the House of the Lord
Why should Christians be excited to gather with the church? Why should Sunday mornings, when the church traditionally gathers together, be the highlight of the week for Christians? In this sermon, we look at Psalm 122 to find why Christians are glad to "go" to church.
