Sermons from May 2018
Full of Thanks!
Psalm 75 Let’s hear God’s word together. This is a Psalm of Asaph. We give thanks to you, O God. We give thanks for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. At the time set that I appoint, I will judge with equity. When the earth totters and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep it steady. I keep steady its pillars. I say to the boastful, do not boast. And to the wicked, do not lift…
Prayer
James 4:2 Please turn in your copy of the Word of God to the New Testament, to the Epistle of James. Our reading today is from James chapter four, verse two, and we’ll read chapter four, maybe verses one through four. Remember a few weeks ago, we began a little series on the means of grace. And the means of grace are those means or those ways by which God communicates his grace to us. In our shorter catechism, it…
God, Remember!
Psalm 74 This is Psalm 74. This is a mask of Asaph. And this is probably not the Asaph we talked about last week, who was one of David’s musicians. This would be an Asaph a couple centuries later.

Remember your congregation which you have…

Remember, in our shorter catechism, as you make your way through all the truth is about man, the scripture, God, salvation, you make your way…
The Long Look at Life
Psalm 73 Let’s hear God’s word together. This is Psalm 73. It’s a Psalm of Asaph, who was one of the musicians. Also Korah, the sons of Korah were the same. And so Psalm 73 begins book three, which is Psalm 73 to 89. And Asaph wrote 73 to 83, as well as Psalm 50. And then the sons of Korah did Psalms 84 to 89. So this is a short little book of Psalms, book three is, but they…
Eating at the Lord’s Table
Matthew 26:26-29 Please turn in your copy of the scriptures to the gospel of Matthew. Our reading will be Matthew chapter 26 verses 26 through 29. We last week began a little series on the means of grace or the ways, the ways or the means by which God communicates his grace to us. Some of you this morning were in the Sunday school class on assurance of salvation. And in chapter 18 of our confession of faith, as well…
