Sermons on Psalms
The Castle of Calm
Sermon text: Psalm 37:3-6 In the previous message we looked at some of the craziness of the world in which we live. In this message we investigate some of the factors of the fortress to which we may run for solace. David, in trying to encourage the victims of the Babylonian captivity, shares what are to do rather than fretting about the evil-doers prospering.
Singing…on the Cross?
Sermon text: Psalm 31:1-5 and Luke 23:46 Very often in Scripture Jesus uses remez. This entails mentioning a short Old Testament passage to bring to the minds of the hearers the rest of the passage. When we think of the Psalms and the fact that they were the music of the Jews of Jesus’s day, we are also reminded that twice Jesus quoted from the Psalms. Could it be that He sang these words from the cross?
