Where to Stand (2)
Series: Summer of Psalms Series
Jeff Ecklund
recap:
Last week we opened our new series "Summer of Psalms" where each message from our preaching team will be anchored by something in Psalms.
Opening Psalm 1 last week recap is that basically following the wisdom of God is the best way to live!
Psalm 1 is called a "wisdom Psalm"
We didn't get though the whole Psalm because we focused on the man who was blessed, and that God had created us from the beginning to receive blessings and favor and then sin entered the picture.
In recap, I want to point out a couple of things.
Psalm 1:1-6 (ESV)
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

3He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

For one, the Hebrew word for wicked simply defined is "people who do not belong to God and are controlled by their passions"'
It is the natural condition of people before there is submission to Christ...
Romans 3:10-12 (ESV)
10as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;
11no one understands; no one seeks for God.
12All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."
Romans 3:21-23 (ESV)
21But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-
22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23for all have sinned and f ...
