All throughout the Bible we see this reality that there are only two types of people in the world. In Genesis 3:15 there is the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In the book of Proverbs there is the wise and the foolish. 

In the teaching of Jesus there is the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the tares, the good trees and the bad trees, those who enter by the narrow gate and those who enter by the wide gate, those who build their lives on the rock and those who build on the sand. 

All people in the world fit into one of these two categories. The Psalms refer to these two groups as the Righteous and the Wicked. We see this reality right away in Psalm 1, as it contrasts both the righteous and the wicked. 

In this sermon, I highlight how the righteous and the wicked have:

#1 - Two Different Influences (v. 1-2)

#2 - Two Different Lifestyles (v.3-4)

#3 - Two Different Destinies (v. 5-6)
