Why Won’t He Just Tell Me?
Our text this morning. Psalm 25. Two weeks ago we considered how can I know what God’s will is for me?

The Saving Name of the LORD

The Laws for the Land

This morning we are going to cover the issue of murder and inheritance, as well as connecting all the dots of the whole book as it relates to the person work of Jesus.

As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you join me in…
The Rhythms of Worship
As we prepare to hear God’s Word, let’s go before him in prayer. This prayer is pulled out of Psalm 119. Let us pray.

We would be like one who has found a great spoil, that you would work in us and change us such that we might hate and abhor…
