A Psalm for Every Season: The Thanksgiving Psalms

Text: Psalm 100

As we have journeyed through the Psalms during this study, we have seen the Psalmists face many mountains and valleys. There have been seasons of sunshine and seasons of great gloom. Yet through every season, the Psalmists found that God is good, faithful, and always worthy of praise. For us today, we, too, can rest in God’s presence in every situation because of who He is. Through His great love and care for us, we are invited and encouraged to give thanks to the Lord. This message helps us to understand that thanksgiving isn’t really about a holiday or a specific action that occurs on various occasions, but a lifestyle for the believer. If you want to walk in the joy of the Lord, we invite you to listen today so that you can learn how to begin living with thanksgiving.

A Psalm for Every Season: The Penitential Psalms

Text: Psalm 51:1-17

All throughout the Psalms we have continued to see that God is worthy to be praised and He is greater than any situation or circumstance. David especially found this to be true when confronted with the reality of his own sin. Once confronted, David had a choice to make - to run and hide, to deflect and excuse, or to take his sin to the Lord. Here in Psalm 51, God provides us a beautiful picture of repentance that we pray will encourage and challenge you today.

A Psalm for Every Season: The Pilgrimage Psalms

Text: Psalm 125

The Pilgrimage Psalms were songs that the Jewish people sang to the Lord as they journeyed to Jerusalem to worship. While we don’t have to go to Jerusalem today, we are still called to worship the Lord with the same conviction and commitment. But, if we’re honest about it, our journey in life is often filled with hardships and distractions that seek to hinder our worship. This message shows us why the Israelites made worship such a priority, how they overcame various obstacles, and how their worship impacted their lives. We invite you to listen today so that you, too, can worship God with the same freedom and joy that is expressed in these Psalms.

A Psalm for Every Season: The Enthronement Psalms

Text: Psalm 95

In life, we all face many different seasons. There are seasons of celebration and of sorrow, seasons of grief and of joy, seasons of victory and of defeat. Regardless of the seasons that we face, we can be confident that God is in control. No matter what we face or feel, God is sovereign over all things and He is faithfully working all things together for His glory and our good. That doesn’t mean that we will understand it at the moment, nor does it mean that we will see everything God does on this side of heaven, but it does mean that in every season and situation we can rest in the person and promises of God. This is what the “Enthronement Psalms” are all about. They reveal the greatness of God and call us to respond in worship. We invite you to listen today to be encouraged and challenged to trust in Him.
