God, the Righteous Judge

Psalm 7 In this Psalm, we look at the prayer of David that God would fall on his enemies and ask how this is compatible with the New Testament command that we love our enemies. We see that with God, there is a time at which His patience ends and judgment falls. I

Be Gracious to Me

Psalm 6 The Lord chastens those whom He loves. When David wrote Psalm 6 he was being chastened by the Lord, and expresses much that is profitable to us in our times of chastening. The Lord treats His children externally much the same as He treats sinners, but the

The Lord Our Savior

Psalm 3 Continuing our series in the Psalms, we meditate on the security and defense that believers have in Christ, their King. We consider: * We have a problem – many enemies are against us * God, in Christ, has provided the solution for this problem * How that

Worship the King

Psalm 2 We explore how we are to submit to Christ as our True King. When Jesus came into the World as the King of the Jews, He was opposed and crucified, but the opposition was futile because God raised Him up and installed Him as King in spite of it. Likewise, i

Biblical Prosperity

Psalm 1 One way in which Psalm 1 is so useful to us is in illustrating how we are to live our lives as Christians. It demonstrates the fact that faith without works is dead faith. We consider who it is who will know God’s blessing, what is the nature of that bles

What Shall I Give To The Lord

Psalm 116:12-13 In an extension of the application from this morning’s sermon, we examine what we should do in response to the love and grace that the Lord has shown us if we are His people. We see the psalmist deciding to lift the cup of salvation, to call upon the name

Delight Yourself in the Lord

Psalm 37:4 As we ‘step back’ to view the reason behind our series on the Ten Commandments in the Shorter Catechism, it is essential to understand why it is that we should want to obey them. A major reason is so we may delight in the Lord above all other things and s

The Stone Rejected Became The Chief Corner Stone

Psalm 118:22-24 We review this very familiar passage and see from the New Testament how it speaks about the rejection of Christ by the Jewish leaders, His resurrection from the dead to become Head over all things for the Church and the commemoration of that event in the

You Will Not Abandon My Soul to Sheol

Psalm 16 This is another Psalm that talks of the suffering and resurrection of Christ. David rejoices in His God but we also see the delight that Jesus has in His Father and the security and trust He had that God would deliver Him from all His troubles. If we ar

Christ’s Betrayal and Rejection

Psalm 41:9 We first look at a promise of God to treat us the same way we treat others. We see that if we take care of the poor then God will take care of us in our time of need. Or, in more general terms, if we obey God He will bless us. Next we see that if we sin
