Series: Summer in the Psalms
Bob Ingle
Psalms 1
If you brought a Bible, and I hope you did, open it to Psalm 1. I'm excited about this series we're starting today we've called 'Summer in the Psalms'. I think what I'm most looking forward to is getting to spend time on specific topics that are extremely relevant, but often overlooked or badly neglected. For instance...
The Psalms remind us that it's ok to ask bold, blunt questions of God like: 'Where are You? Do You see what happening here? Do You even care?' Or like in Ps. 73, 'God, why do You allow good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people?' Ever wondered that? I have.
The Psalms not only ask bold questions of God, but also prompt God's people to worship and praise Him passionately, joyfully, gratefully, and enthusiastically. I'm convinced most Baptist's don't know the difference between reverence and rigor mortis. Have you ever wondered to yourself, 'Why do we sing in church?' I mean does God enjoy that? For many of you, singing in church feels awkward and sounds awful, right? Some of you intentionally don't get here until the music portion is over. Do you think God is like, 'Yeah, that's cool. I really don't like the music part either.'' Why do we insist on singing? Well, we're going to find out this summer from the Psalms.
The Psalms also teach us how to call out to God when we're perplexed or in pain. The title of next week's message is 'How To Pray About Your People Problems'. Have any of those? Yeah, me neither. But David did and he wasn't bashful at all about bringing them up with God.
The Psalms teach us over and over is that God is not just powerful; He is personal. He's more than a force to be with you; He's a friend who knows you and loves you any way. This book deals with grief, depression, sin, death, resurrection, repentance, heaven, hell, the cross, enemies, and angels. On the pages of the Psalms we behold God's gl ...
