“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song” (Psalm 28:7)

February 4, 2011

Can you empty your heart’s concern upon the Lord as David did? Carrying all to Jesus our heavy hearts are made light and free to leap and sing! This will seem foolish to some. Only those who have been weighed down and then set free understand this.

“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1)

January 28, 2011

Where are you still “wanting?” That is the very place that you are not letting the Lord shepherd you yet. Give Him your wanting. Then, trust the Shepherd of your soul.

“They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn” (Psalm 22:31)

January 27, 2011

For 2 millenia this prophecy is true. Every generation has told the next about Christ. However, it only takes one generation that fails to pass the torch to the next. Let’s be the parents and the church that teaches our children about Jesus!

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1)

January 26, 2011

David was inspired to write it. The Son of David actually experienced it. David had never seen a Roman crucifixion, yet Psalm 22 describes it in detail. Christ fulfilled David’s words 1,000 years later. This was no accident. Christ came to die for us.

“You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great” (Psalm 18:35)

January 21, 2011

And God has stooped down, offering His Son to us, exchanging His righteousness for our sin. In Christ, God stooped down to make us great!

“Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men” (Psalm 12:1)

January 14, 2011

Have you ever felt like the Psalmist? Observing the news, media and politics of our land, do you despair? Don’t. Elijah thought he was the only one faithful in his generation, but God always has a remnant. Perhaps He is calling you to pray and call fire down from heaven.

“I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders” (Psalm 9:1)

It’s Sunday morning. Let’s go do what David did!

How Great Thou Art

October 3, 2010 | Psalm 104:1-9 | hymns

The hymn, “How Great Thou Art” was written through the contributions of many people. In the conclusion of this series, we are looking at Psalm 104, a poetic retelling of the creation story that reveals how great our God truly is.

“The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men” (Psalms 135:15)

June 17, 2010

Trusting manmade weapons to defeat terrorism is idolatry. America must not trust in its own wealth and power. “In God we trust,” must be more than an inscription. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).

Heart to Heart Communication

May 16, 2010 | Psalm 119:34 | parenting

Pastor Gary Combs continues the “Parenting Your Child’s Heart” series. This message discusses the importance of communication that fosters true understanding, taken from the book of Psalms. The Psalmist cries out to God for heart to heart understanding. He wanted to know and be known by God. He wanted his behavior and his heart attitude to be in line with the Father’s heart. Our children need the same thing. We can answer their heart’s cry for understanding and for a purpose to live by that will give order to their behavior and inspiration for their hearts.
