New book! Forrest Brown starts the book of Joel, which will only be a 3-week series.

In particular, the focus is on grieving/lamenting of the brokenness of the relationship with the Lord.

In this Psalm, elder Muchun Yin preaches on where we find our refuge. Peter preaches a portion of this Psalm in Acts chapter 2, showing us that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Psalm. Therefore, Jesus was the refugee that left the glory of heaven to sacrifice himself to redeem us from our sin. And the result of his sacrifice is eternal pleasure at the right hand of the Father. Likewise, we must also become refugees in the sense that we do not trust in ourselves but rather in the Lord. And just like Jesus, we can enjoy pleasures forevermore.

David wrote Psalm 24 to celebrate the Lord as the King of Glory. The Creator-God is the King of Glory and has come down to dwell in the midst of the city of man. How do we respond to him? Listen as elder Tim Carpenter preaches on this Psalm of celebration.

Have you ever asked if Christianity is worth it? When terrible things happen to Jesus followers and good things seem to always happen to those that oppose God, it's common for even the most devoted followers to question God's goodness. In this Psalm the author asks a similar question. And ultimately he finds his conclusion in God's character and closeness.
