Psalm 126. I’m sure regarding finances you’ve heard that expression, past performance is no guarantee of future or present results. People hedging their bets.

If we look to the reading of God’s word, then if you would please…

Blessed are you, O God, the Father of all mercy. You have elected us, you’ve called us, you have justified us, you have sanctified and you have glorified us through your Son, who’s the living word. We ask then that it…

As we look to God’s Word, one brief quote comes to mind from Oswald Chambers today. He said that “eyes that look are common and eyes that see are rare.” Something for us to ponder as we look together in God’s Word. If you want to follow with your pew Bible, it’s on page 878, but you can also look from your bulletin as we read from Luke 19. He entered Jericho and was passing through, and behold…

Let’s ask that he might give us fresh eyes, open ears, and a soft heart to receive his word this morning. And I’m gonna pray briefly to…

If you’re visiting with us, it’s our normal practice to preach systematically through whole books of the Bible or sections. This morning, however, we are going to be looking topically as Christians dealing with anxiety, and you see a medley of texts printed in your bulletin.

In the book of Proverbs this morning, we start our summer Psalms and Proverbs series. We’re looking this morning at the mocker or the scorner, the type of fool who tears down rather than builds up, who insults rather than encourages, and who divides rather than unites.

Revelation 22. We come to the final chapter and to our final sermon in this series. An observation through the years: those who spend a lot of time worrying about and fussing over end times teaching don’t seem very often to speak much about entering into glory. They come with a shock factor of the here and the now, but heaven itself doesn’t get too much screen time, almost an afterthought. Well…

For it is in his name that we do pray. Amen. Amen. Beginning in verse 1.
