The Lord is On My Side | Psalm 118: 1-14 part 1
The last of the Hallel psalms, Psalm 118 is an epic tale of a people who have learned to trust in the Lord in the face of great distress, and the strength that they were able to show knowing that the Lord is on their side, he is their “azar,” and he is their refuge. Sermon starts at 1:11:15.

Finding Joy & Security in the Midst of Trials | Psalm 16
When severe trials come, do we lose our security in God? Does our joy vanish? David faced a severe trial that threatened to shake his faith, but because of his pattern of life depending upon and delighting in God, he was able to express a high and holy hope that foreshadowed the glorious work of Christ.

The Coronation of the King | Psalm 2
David’s marvelous psalm sets the tone for the rest of the book of psalms by presenting the fundamental conflict between the wicked nations and the anointed King, the Son of God. And the reason for the coat and hat is that the furnace in the church was broken in the dead of winter.

The Saddest Psalm | Psalm 88
The only psalm written by Heman the Ezrahite who was employed in the worship of the Temple with the Koraites. Heman suffered a lifelong affliction that routinely brought him to death’s door. It’s the only psalm of lament that does not end on a note of deliverance or divine assurance. It’s a psalm written in the midst of the struggle, with no certain outcome, no hope, yet this faithful man continues to reach out to God in spite of his catalog of hardship.
