Psalm 121 - The Goodness of God
Sunday Aug 26, 2012
Sunday Aug 26, 2012
Psalms 120 - 134 are referred to as the "Songs of Ascent" - these psalms served as the songbook for pilgrims heading to Jerusalem for the celebration of the Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, & Tabernacles. As the travelers ascended the hills towards the City of David, they sang the songs as a point of reference, a reaffirmation of their identity as God's people, & a reminder of God's continued goodness to them. Psalm 121 in particular is a call to remember where our help comes from - its not the from the stronghold behind the city gates, & its not from pagan deities offering their capricious protection in exchange for costly sacrifices. Rather, their help (& their hope) is found in the God of Israel, maker of Heaven & Earth.

Joy & Peace - In Christ
Sunday Jul 29, 2012
Sunday Jul 29, 2012
The Apostle Paul's instructions to the Philippian church remind us that Christ-following is ACTIVE! The language he uses communicates the expectation that our choices play a key role in our attitudes, actions, thoughts, & personal relationships - he says: REJOICE. Be Glad. Be Well. Thrive! Address anxiety, worry, & fear with God - in prayer, specific requests, & giving thanks for what He has done, is doing, & will do. Then, God's promise is that He gives us PEACE that guards our hearts (the center of our being) & minds (thoughts & deep ponderings) - in Christ Jesus. Our text today is Philippians 4:4-9.
