Greetings and welcome! This is our worship service for September 20, 2026. Today, we conclude our mini-series on the Psalms with part 2 of the 23rd Psalm. Can you say the Lord is YOUR shepherd? Thanks for joining us!

This sermon contrasts the heart of adoration demonstrated by Mary of Bethany with the heart of hypocrisy embodied by Judas Iscariot, using the narrative of Jesus' anointing in Matthew 26. The message highlights how Mary's costly act of worship, which prepared Jesus for his impending burial, was scorned by the disciples but affirmed by Christ as a perpetual memorial. In contrast, Judas's concern for the poor is exposed as a pretext for theft and betrayal, revealing the tragic consequences of a life devoid of genuine faith. The preacher urges the audience to examine their own motives, warning against the subtle dangers of hypocrisy and encouraging a deep, personal intimacy with Christ through time spent at His feet. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to offer their most precious possessions in worship, trusting that Jesus cherishes the gifts of a yielded heart.

The Israelite's neglect of the ark of the covenant and the worship of God had devastating consequences, as we see from 1 Chronicles 13.

Sunday Morning Worship 9/20/26

In Psalm 20, the "you" being prayed for isn't David or the worshiper but the promised messianic king, fulfilled in Jesus: his victory over sin, death, and hell becomes ours by faith, since our fate is in lockstep with his. That grounds three things: we rejoice because the King did all the work, we're confident because God's own name is staked on our salvation, and we trust him alone because everything else we could lean on has an expiration date.
