It can be so easy to buy into the notion that if we just do enough research, plan our lives well, and practice enough discipline we will avoid trouble. But trouble finds us in a broken world, and where we place our trust when the waves of life come crashing over us reveals what we actually worship.

What does it mean to worship together? The Bible says that God made us, wants to make us his own, and that God is good. Jesus comes as the good shepherd to lay down his life for the sheep, give us new hearts, and bring us home to God. Only when we understand this will we be a community that worships together by finding our joy in God and responding to God with thanks and praise.

News stories abound in the modern world declaring that we are experiencing a crisis of meaning, without hope for a better future, and feeling disconnected from others. Many people are feeling demoralized and desperate. This emerges when we try to conquer life apart from God. Our only hope is that God will tell a better story, give us power beyond the walls of this world, and bless us with a salvation that we do not have to create.

King David magnifies God in Psalm 34 by writing from the memory of his most humiliating moment: pretending to be insane to escape an enemy king. We find that Psalm 34 is the antidote to our pride and reminds us that God isn't near to the impressive and self-made, but to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. And when we encounter his nearness in Jesus, it changes everything about us and the community we're called to build together.

The church should be the safest place in the world to be honest, and yet it's often where we're most tempted to wear a mask. Psalm 32 shows us why only the gospel breaks that open: when God has already declared you righteous in Christ, you no longer need to perform righteousness. This creates a community that can be fully honest about sin and struggle together, because nobody here is earning anything.

We live in a world that tells us life is found in carving out more for ourselves because we are the center of the universe. Psalm 16 confronts that directly. The Psalmist has found something better: a life defined not by what he's doing, but by who he belongs to. We belong first to God, and because we belong to God, we belong to his people. This is not something we earn, but something we receive, and that changes how we think about everything.
