Because our King has rescued us, our response is singing for joy. Our rescue. (v.1-3) Our victory song. (v.4-6) Our back-up chorus. (v.7-9) How ought one to respond to being rescued? What was the source of our rescue? Hebrews 10:14 How do people respond to a good King? 1 Kings 1:39-40 How can inanimate objects respond to a King? Is.55:12

This passage clearly teaches that the follower of Jesus must believe in the supernatural and in the divinity of Jesus. To fail to believe these things is either to severely misunderstand the teachings of the Scripture or to be among those who do not trust in Jesus.

We live in an angry world. Yet, unrighteous anger far too often is besetting sin for believers. The impact of anger is not limited to just one person, but it expands those that are around us.

Jonah 2 is a prayer, deeply informed by the Psalms. In it we see Johnah's conviction of who God is in his mercy and holiness, the consolation of prayer, and the consecration this leads to.

We often face troubles in life, and sometimes we're tempted to run and hide. But why hide when you can "seek" - that is, seek refuge in the Lord? In this sermon, Pastor Jesse unpacks Psalm 11, showing how David responded to extremely difficult circumstances. In David's response, you'll see that even when righteousness and justice don't seem to exist, you can have confidence knowing that God is on the throne.

Psalm 26 " Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD."

In this text, the Lord predicts two different responses to the coming Servant of the Lord. Every hearer must grapple with that to think of the Messiah, and will fall into one of those two categories.

Jesus taught us the top priority – which is to love God, love others – and then Jesus died and rose again to cleanse us for breaking it, and to equip us to keep it more and more. One more question – this one regarding the most important command. (v.28) The most important answer about the most important command. (v.29-31) The surprising response, the inviting verdict, and the silencing of questions. (v.32-34) How can we know which things are top priority? How did God summarize His law? Deut. 5:1-21 and 6:4-5 How much are we supposed to love God? 1 John 4:10 What is top priority to you? Rom. 12:1-2, Phl. 2:3-5
