In Psalm 67 we see that God's blessings are not reserved for the people of Israel, but in order that through them, the nations would be blessed. We are recipients of that blessing, and are called to bless others through the overflow of God's grace to us in Christ Jesus so that all the nations would come to know and receive the gospel.

As image bearers each of us have an important story to tell, because we were made by God for his glory. In Psalm 66 the psalmist declares the personal story of what God has done for his soul.

In Psalm 65 David praises God who so generously pours out abundant grace to those he loves. He praises God for his grace in creation, provision and redemption.

In Psalm 64 David pleads for justice but also gives a vivid picture of sin and how it operates.

In Psalm 63 we read of David's praise lifted to God in spite of dire circumstances, and we discover that the deep well of God's lovingkindness will satisfy us more than any other source.

Who is able to rescue us in crisis? Who is strong enough to protect us when enemies seek to destroy? David's answer in Psalm 62 is, "the Lord is my salvation."

Psalm 61 shows us one of the paths to trusting the Lord in the midst of hardship and pain. Pastor Michael Wu reminds us that when we go to the Lord in prayer, remember his faithfulness and begin to trust again in his promises, we will be able to give praise to our God who changes sorrow into Joy.

How do we overcome suffering? The Psalmist calls us to sing through our feelings of abandonment and rejection. In Psalm 60 we see David cry out to God, find hope in the promise of God and a renewed dependance on the Lord for the battle before him.

The Gospel calls us towards unity. Following the example of Christ, who did not strive to please himself, we seek to live for others and the glory of God. From Romans 15:1-7, we're reminded of the beauty that arises from a church that seeks to live in harmony with one another.

Have you ever made an uncharitable judgment on someone. The gospel calls us to a better way of life. We continue in our One Another series from Matthew 7.
