Remembering God’s Word
Psalm 119:49-80

The Village Chapel - 11/23/2025

Have you ever found yourself unable to sleep, replaying the questions you can’t quite silence? Where is God when the world feels so broken? Why does my heart ache the way it does? And is there a word from Him that can steady me when life shakes me to my core? Psalm 119:49–80 gives language to the longings we all feel—the yearning for hope when we are weary, for comfort when we’re hurting, and for clarity when the world around us seems bent on abandoning the ways of God.

In these four stanzas—Zayin, Heth, Teth, and Yodh—we meet an ancient songwriter who was no stranger to affliction, opposition, or confusion. Yet instead of turning inward or outward, he turns upward. He rises at midnight to give thanks. He looks back on affliction and says, astonishingly, “It was good for me.” Beneath every cry is a deeper reality: the Word of God is not merely information; it is oxygen. It comforts, confronts, redirects, and renews. And it anchors him—just as it can anchor us—in a world that seems lost in the dark and tossed in turmoil.

Join Pastor Jim as he explores this section of Psalm 119 and traces four themes that surface again and again: the ache we all feel, the comfort we all need, the hope that can sustain us, and the final word that can save us. These verses remind us that remembering God’s Word is not an academic exercise—it is the way weary pilgrims learn to walk with courage, joy, and unshakeable hope.

Growing in God's Word
Psalm 119:25-48

The Village Chapel - 11/16/2025

Have you ever felt the weight of the world pressing down, leaving you clinging to the very dust? When sorrow runs deep and our strength fades, where do we turn? Psalm 119 speaks directly to those moments of weariness, reminding us that the Word of God—and the God of the Word—meets us right there. He lifts us up, breathes new life into weary hearts, and gently teaches us His ways.

In His Word, God reveals himself as the God who is there, the God who sees, and the god who speaks. Join us as we explore Psalm 119 and discover how we can grow in God’s Word—and how He graciously meets us along the way.

Delighting in the Word of God
Psalm 119:1-24
The Village Chapel - 11/09/2025

Have you ever hungered for a word that steadies your soul, a word that lights your path when the way grows dark, or a word that stirs hope and awakens joy when your heart feels heavy?

Psalm 119 invites us to such a word—not just to read it and study it, but to delight in it—to savor each phrase, each promise, each truth. And even more than that, to delight in the God who speaks it: the God whose heart is revealed in every verse, the God who longs to draw us close, to reassure us, and to bless us.

Come to God’s Word with your questions, your longings, your doubts, and your fears. Come and let the Word of God do its work in you as it transforms your heart. Come and delight both in the Word of God and in the God of the Word as Pastor Jim unpacks God’s Word to us from Psalm 119:1–24.
