Psalms - Psalm 1 - Jacob Creighton - January 26, 2025
In his sermon, Jacob Creighton begins with a reflective exercise, asking the congregation to complete the statement: “I would be truly happy if _______.” This prompts attendees to consider their personal desires for happiness and how quickly those desires can shift.
Creighton emphasizes that happiness and prosperity, as outlined in Psalm 1, stem from being rooted in God's word. He encourages attendees to recognize the importance of engaging with scripture and highlights the contrast between the "wicked," who are akin to chaff blown away by the wind, and the "righteous," who are like trees planted by streams of water, flourishing and bearing fruit.
He underscores the church's mission to help individuals find true happiness through their relationship with Christ, emphasizing that the cross represents God's ultimate act of love and the foundation of hope for believers. The sermon calls for introspection, inviting the congregation to assess their relationship with God's word and their overall happiness.
Creighton guides the church into a time of evaluation and prayer, encouraging reflection on personal experiences and connection to scripture. He concludes with prompts for prayer and a communion reflection, inviting the congregation to express gratitude for the life that God has given them and the church community.
