Sunday AM Sermon August 30, 2026

Sunday morning, August 23rd Sermon

The word "imprecatory" is used to describe a genre of Psalms in which the writers call for God's wrath, justice or diving judgment to be brought down on a perceived enemy or wicked person(s). At times, these kinds of psalms can seemingly be in conflict with the teaching that we are to love and pray for our enemies. But God doesn't rebuke those who come to Him with these types of prayers. And their presence in the book of Psalms challenges us to consider their place in our prayer lives today.

In this special message from one of our elders, Tim Wilson, the husbands of our congregation are issued a challenge.

In this continuation of the Preaching Through the Bible series, John highlights the three most important years in history. How Jesus taught, how we can teach today, and, ultimately, what we do with the Gospel are discussed in our latest episode!

There are so many psalms of praise to choose from! And even ones that don't traditionally fit into that category contain elements of praise. Today, we're narrowing it down to just the 103rd Psalm; a fairly nondescript and generic psalm of David. But one that brings the praise from beginning to end and sets a wonderful example for us of what it looks to praise God!

This month we will spend our time in the book of Psalms. Each week we will pick a specific genre, then a specific Psalm from that genre and discuss and study from it. This week the Messianic Psalms and specifically Psalm 22. In this Psalm David writes of his own struggles and it is easy to see the parallels to Jesus. Jesus quotes from this Psalm from the cross, noting the fulfillment of what we see in there.
