Sermons About Refuge
The Privilege of God's Son
Psalm 2 While Psalm 1 described the blessed life of righteous, who delight in God's Word, the headlines of the daily newspaper make clear that the wicked greatly outnumber the righteous. What are we to make of this? Is the battle to re-claim creation for God's glory destined to be lost? Psalm 2 brings great comfort in the person of God's Son, whom we are privileged to know, serve, and proclaim.

We all should have a servant's attitude - ready to serve others. God provide the avenue to the stress reducer and is the only one who can heal broken hearts and deliver those in danger.
