This message is part two of the previous message in Psalm 20 and that is because Psalm 21 is immediately connected to the prayer of Psalm 20. In this message, Rick Anderson begins by reviewing Psalm 20 and from there discusses a historical example from Isaiah 36-37 where the principles of Psalm 20 were employed. This helps us "get into" Psalm 21. From there we begin to see that Psalms 20 and 21 form a team that powerfully works against our common anxiety in order to bring us to a place of security in Christ.

As we turn to Psalm 20 we find the psalmist in the "day of trouble." As we have discussed in earlier messages, this is a common occurrence in the psalms. But each psalm makes its own contribution and Psalm 20 is no exception. In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through Psalm 20 to show its contribution to God's overall message and how it is exceptionally relevant to the spiritual battles we face today.

In this message on Psalm 19, Rick Anderson takes us through four important and amazing truths: 1) God has made Himself known though what He has made 2) God has more accurately made Himself known through His word 3) the value of His word 4) what our response should be.

In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through a "birds-eye" view of Psalm 18 to show that it is a Royal Psalm of Praise. What this means is, Psalm 18 should inspire awe in our hearts for what the Lord has done for His King and through His King. Our wonder over this great psalm only intensifies as we see it applied to Christ--what the Father has done for Christ and what the Father will do through Christ!

The subject of prayer is a vast subject but it is also a subject that can yield feelings of guilt and inadequacy. When you read books about people who regularly spent hours in prayer each day and you attempt to rise up to this the results can be oppressive. Or you read the prayers of those who have come before us you can easily conclude “I cannot speak like this. I cannot even think of all of these things. This is something that only certain people can do, it is out of my reach. ”In this second installment of our two-part message, Rick Anderson, takes us through Psalm 17 where we continue looking at five important and motivating truths that can help us in our time spent with God in prayer—whether it be five minutes or two hours!

One of the key words of Psalm 16 is the word “preserve.” David prays, “Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.” In this message, Rick Anderson explains each verse of this precious psalm and shows how the idea of preservation is at the heart of this sacred word.

Who shall live in the presence of God? That is the question Psalm 15 takes up. Its answer can be summarize by the words “he who walks blamelessly.” At first glance that doesn’t seem like good news. But as the Psalm is studied something absolutely beautiful emerges. In this message, Rick Anderson takes us through this study to see not only the beauty of it but also the magnificence of its promise for us as followers of Jesus.

Here is a three word question with profound importance: Who are we? Improperly or inadequately answered and what Jesus has done on the cross makes no sense or worse, becomes irrelevant. In this message from Psalm 14, Pastor Rick Anderson answers this question and in doing so exposes the profound importance of what Jesus has done.

Regardless of whether we have embraced Christianity or not the words “how long” are very recognizable and meaningful. And in the Christian life, we will face trying seasons where God’s answer to our prayers are seemingly absent. What do we do as followers of Christ when no relief is in view? When God is seemingly silent? In this message, Rick Anderson answers this question from Psalm 13.
