Our Song in Christ (Psalm 98)

By Psalms, Talks, Uncategorized

Something magical happens when a song can speak straight into your heart. And in this song, we hear all of creation singing to God. Why? Because he is the saviour, the king, and the judge. And on the night when Jesus came into the world, he was met with singing – for the saviour, king, and judge of our heart has arrived.

The Grace of Christ (Psalm 103)

By Psalms, Talks

The grace of God is one of the greatest things that we can know, but it’s also one of the hardest to truly remember. In Psalm 103, David reminds his soul of all the good and gracious things that God has done for him, for Israel, and for all creation, as a way to remember this grace, and to call his heart to worship.

Worship in Christ (Psalm 95)

By Psalms, Talks

In Psalm 95, we get a picture of worshipping God with everything: our minds, our hearts, our voices, our bodies. But we can only do this because of Christ, who was the perfect worship leader for us, who sacrificed himself on our behalf, that God might look on our unimpressive worship with delight.

Thirsting For Christ (Psalms 42-43)

By Psalms, Talks

In Psalms 42-43, the Psalmist remembers times when he enjoyed God and praised his name, but mourned how that feeling had completely dried up. But in this state, he takes his soul to task: “Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him, my Saviour and my God.” In this, we can see a picture of how he took a few steps forward in the darkness of depression; he talked back to his depressed soul, and reminded himself of the Gospel–the hope that one day he would be able to praise his Saviour and his God again. 

The Goodness of Christ (Psalm 34)

By Psalms, Talks

David was troubled and fearful, but he prayed to God and God answered him in an incredible way. And in this Psalm, he calls us to join in the song of God’s goodness–his overflowing, satisfying, and enduring goodness. We’re called to taste and see that the Lord is good, and we can taste and see this best in Christ and his Gospel.

The Way of Christ (Psalm 1)

By Psalms, Talks

In our opening talk of our new Psalms series, Nick Brennan shows us how Psalms 1 is the gateway to all the Psalms. It gives us an image of the righteous man, flowing with life, that’s ultimately fulfilled in Christ. But when we trust in him, we are united with him, and this Psalm, as well as all other Psalms, become ours as well.
