The King We Need

[Psalm 72] Our prayers for a righteous king will be answered with the reign of Christ

Hope Interrupting Despair

Psalm 22:1-31 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,    and by night, but I find no rest. 3 Yet you are holy,    enthroned on the praises of Israel.4 In you our fathers trusted;    they trusted, and you delivered them.5 To you they cried and were rescued;    in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 6 But I am a worm and not a man,    scorned by mankind and despised by the…

The Rhythm of Worship

Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!2     Serve the Lord with gladness!    Come into his presence with singing! 3 Know that the Lord, he is God!    It is he who made us, and we are his;    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,    and his courts with praise!    Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the Lord is good;    his steadfast love endures forever,    and his faithfulness to all generations.
