  • What Stands Between You And God? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 3, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,391 views

    As humans, our default position is to be self-centered. And unless we are aware of it and address it, we will always act in our own best self-interest. But as the Psalms show us, we are not the center of the universe - God is. And that's a very good thing

    Psalm 115 is all about how silly we as humans can be, thinking we can actually do anything apart from God. It is also about who really gets the glory—God or us? By the way, many of the lines in this psalm are also found in Psalm 135. 1 – 3 If more of us would live by verse 1 of this ...read more

  • Does God Rub Off On You? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 25, 2013
     | 4,891 views

    God is good and powerful that, even though we fought Him tooth and nail, He still saved us, cleansed us and now transforms us into His character. That wonderful work is something to behold, and the riches we receive are incredible.

    Psalm 112 is about the character of people who have submitted themselves to be led by God. It follows on the heels of Psalm 111 which reveals the character of our God. In that psalm God is described as gracious and compassionate, a provider, Someone who makes promises and keeps them faithfully, and ...read more

  • The Fear Of The Lord Part 1

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 19, 2013
     | 1,912 views

    We all have a big decision to make - whether to trust in Yahweh through His Son Jesus or not. The decision is important - vitally important. So what are the consequences? And what about true evil and those who are innocent victims. What happens to them?

    This psalm is known as an imprecatory psalm. David wrote it as he cries out to God for justice. We need to remember that it isn’t just petty personal grudges that are moving David, but God’s hatred over injustice and sin. It also announces the results of rebellion against ...read more

  • Faithful Or Unfaithful Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 7, 2013
     | 3,952 views

    How often do you blow it when trying to obey God? Instead of pulling into yourself in shame, or denying the sin itself, why not embrace the sin (your unfaithfulness) and God's faithfulness to you?

    Psalms 104 through 106 are interesting in their comparisons. Psalm 104 is about God as the creator and provider for everything on earth. Psalm 105 is about God’s faithfulness in providing for His people Israel from going to Egypt through the wilderness and into Canaan. But then Psalm 106 ...read more

  • The Broken Compass Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 29, 2013
     | 3,021 views

    When we think about ourselves and our mistakes, we often think that God either doesn't love us, or that we disappoint Him regularly. The problem is our compass is broken.

    Two of the three psalms we’re going to go through this morning were written by David. Psalm 101 sets forth the principals wherewith David will run his administration and the city of Jerusalem. Psalm 102 is a cry from someone captured and taken to Babylon, asking the Lord to restore what has ...read more

  • How To Approach God And Live Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 23, 2013
     | 3,132 views

    God is dangerous to human beings. Approach God and die. And yet the Psalms tell us to come near. How can we do that? There is only one way, but it's the best way!

    Psalms 96 – 100 are filled with wonderful praise for Yahweh. He is powerful, He is magnificent, He is worthy to be praised. We’re not going to linger in these psalms, but I want the tone of them to just wash over us and let our hearts soar with praise for our mighty God. 1 – ...read more

  • What To Do When Surrounded By Evil Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 15, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,498 views

    We see people getting victimized, we see people rejecting God, we see people acting in very ungodly like ways. What should we do about it? As we study these psalms we get a picture of who God is, who we are, and we get a perspective to help.

    This psalm was written for the Sabbath day. Upon returning from their captivity to Babylon, Israelis sang this on the Sabbath at the time of the morning sacrifice. The psalm extols knowing God, and being transformed by God and contrasts that with those who refuse a relationship with Him. 1 – ...read more

  • Trust The Ways Of God And Not My Ways Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 8, 2013
     | 2,883 views

    Sometimes we falsely believe that because we belong to God we can do no wrong and God must bless everything we do. What we must realize is that as we move in concert with how God wants us to move that things will line up for His glory.

    The three psalms we are looking at today have this theme in common: love God, be linked to God, let God set the agenda. Psalm 89 finishes off Book III of the psalter. It is a wonderful restatement of God’s promises to David about the Messiah, but then ends with somewhat of a repudiation of ...read more

  • The Dark At The End Of The Tunnel Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,879 views

    You've heard the old saying about the light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes life is so difficult that there simply seems to be no light at all - no answer, no relief. What do you do in times like that?

    Psalm 85 appears to have been written upon Israel’s return from the Babylonian captivity in 538 and 458 B.C. It’s a psalm calling for spiritual re-awakening. God had disciplined the children of Israel for their unfaithfulness in their marriage to Him. They had served other gods instead ...read more

  • Drawing Near To God In Worship Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 25, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,864 views

    Why worship the Lord? What benefits are there? What happens if we don't? Today we look at some psalms that greatly encourage our worship and closeness to God. It's a feeling like no other to come into God's presence in worship.

    The theme of Psalm 81 could be: don’t pretend to love God—really love Him! It was written by Asaph or one of his descendants and starts out with a joyous occasion of celebrating a harvest festival to the Lord. 1 – 5a So Israel is admonished to sing to God using percussion, ...read more

  • Remaining Faithful To God Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 17, 2013
     | 8,381 views

    One of the hardest things for us to do is once we have a relationship with God to keep that relationship going and to remain faithful. Israel faced this same problem over and over and in the psalms we look at today, we find some ways to help us stay loyal

    Psalm 78 looks at the past to draw lessons for the present. Specifically in Israel’s life, God wants them to avoid the mistakes of the past. In here are important lessons for us for, as the old saying goes, those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 1 – 8 Asaph ...read more

  • When I Am At The End Of My Rope Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,425 views

    Do you ever feel like you have done everything you know how to do, even cried out to God for answers, yet He feels far away or even unwilling to help? Believe it or not, Asaph felt the same way, and his answer can really bring a sense of help and purpose

    Psalm 74 was written by one of Asaph’s descendants after the Babylonian capture of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. and records the emotional distress at seeing God’s enemies triumph and calling on God to respond. 1 – 11 The writer asks God why has He rejected the people He purchased, ...read more

  • Provision & Presence Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,041 views

    Our age and our culture teach us that we can never be satisfied, but must continually strive towards satisfaction by the things we amass. The Psalms have a different approach. In them we l

    Psalm 67 is a little short psalm of just 7 verses, but they burst forth with praise just as we should knowing what God has done for us! 1 – 2 Notice that the psalmist wants the favor of God, not so he can be blessed primarily, but so that others will know God’s way of salvation. ...read more

  • When I Am Lonely Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 29, 2013
     | 3,405 views

    Do you ever feel physically or emotionally alone? David knew very well how that felt. Fortunately for us, he wrote down both his feelings and his vision of what to do in these very difficult times.

    We don’t really know the occasion for Psalm 63. It could have been written when David was running from Saul, or from his son, Absalom. This psalm is really about who you turn to when it seems like there is nothing in your environment that brings comfort or rest. 1 – 2 David was in ...read more

  • When I Am Weak Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2013
     | 4,872 views

    Sometimes trouble just overwhelms you. You feel vulnerable, weak, unstable. If you ever feel this way, you are in good company. David felt that way too. He poured his heart out to God and depended on the Lord in a way that will help you in times of troubl

    As with some of our most recent psalms, Psalm 59 was written by David during a particularly difficult time in his life. In 1 Samuel 19 David has a death sentence on his head from jealous King Saul. In verse 9 we learn that one day an evil spirit entered Saul and he threw a spear at David, trying ...read more
