Psalms 8

In today’s sermon scripture, David talks about the majesty and excellency of God. Right in the middle of his praise, he talks about how God is with us – that his presence is here for us. This Psalm simply talks about how good God is to us.

God is so great that he can use the weakest of things to accomplish the greatest of things

oshua 1:5-9

As the year continues, so do the challenges that we face. We are dealing with the pandemic crisis, an economic crisis, and now a racial crisis. But this is not the first time that the people of God have faced crises. The children of Israel were transitioning leadership after the death of Moses to the new leadership under Joshua. They were also transitioning from living in the wilderness to moving into the promised land. God spoke to Joshua as to how to handle the moment. So too we can use these lessons to guide us through our current realities.

Galatians 6:9

Psalms 54:3-4

“When white America catches a cold, black America gets pneumonia.”

This past week has felt extremely tumultuous with the latest events that have unfolded in the country. We have been experiencing a myriad of emotions. With all that we have seen and heard; our hearts have been burdened. So too during this time in Psalms, David was experiencing the same emotions battling with Saul and those associated with him. He is crying out to God saying, “I can’t breathe!” because he too feels like he is suffocating with his current reality. Today we will examine the scriptures to see how David handled his situation how we can apply these lessons to our current reality.

Pastor Michael Greene - At this point in the Bible, the people of Israel were exiled to several different nations. In this chapter, Jeremiah specifically writes to the people that are in Babylon. He wanted to encourage them and let them know that although many things have change, God’s plans have not change. So too as we navigate through the current pandemic, we can rest in knowing that God’s plans for us have not change.
