The Order of Worship - Psalm 51

How should we respond when we are confronted with our sin? David gives us a vivid example in Psalm 51. This sermon was preached by Rev. Mark Kuiper from Three Rivers PCA in Grove, OK, as part of our Psalms series while Pastor Taylor is on sabbatical.

Psalm 19

God has spoken to us through the world and His Word, and everyone must respond.

Chosen to Serve (Acts 6:1-7)

The brief sermon during our 2022 Deacon Installation Service.

Remain Steadfast (James 5:7-20)

In the midst of suffering, trials, and persecution, James calls us to persevere, pray, and preserve one another.

A False Sense of Self (James 4:11-5:6)

No matter how arrogant and presumptuous we may be, His grace is more and is always in abundant supply. 

An Ounce of Prevention (James 4:1-10)

God gives grace to those who know they need it.  But his abundant grace doesn’t nullify our striving.  

Taming the Tongue (James 3)

While we are unable to tame our tongues, we are no less responsible, having been united to Christ, to try anyway by God’s grace and for His glory.

Faith That Saves (James 2:14-26)

We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone. True genuine faith is life-giving, and the life it gives is a life that is lived toward God.

Don’t Play Favorites (James 2:1-13)

Favoritism, partiality, or discrimination, has no place in the church.  There are no qualifiers.  Christians don't play favorites.

Hearing and Doing (James 1:19-27)

Because we are in Christ, His law is not burdensome.  Obedience is possible because the Word has brought us to life, has been implanted within us, and we have listened to and received it with humility.  Therefore, we are to be doers of the word and not hearers only.

Faith in Trials (James 1:1-18)

When trials come it is possible to take responsibility for our active steadfastness and endure, but it is also possible to doubt and blame God.

The Story Continues (Luke 24:50-53)

Just as Christ's coming had marked the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New, His going would mark the end of His earthly ministry and the beginning of His heavenly one.
