Sermons on Psalms

Your Word Bespeakes Me Innocent of Errors

Due to snow, we don’t have live, in-person worship, but Pastor Laitinen shares with us a message from God’s Word. As we begin a new church year this Sunday, and we begin preparing our hearts for the Advent season, we not only focus on our mighty King humbling himself to be born in a stable, but we also focus on how his reign on earth and perfect life and death made us holy in God’s sight. What an amazing message…

Good Shepherd

Psalm 23 has been a favorite of believers for 3,000, ever since David wrote it.  Why?  Few of us know the first thing about tending sheep.  And yet, we still love this Psalm.  We even sing: “I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb” long after many of us were “little” lambs.  How come? Join us so you can learn as much about Psalm 23 as possible.  That way it can become your favorite, (if it already isn’t) even though you may not…

How Long is Eternity?

Sermon Text: Psalm 112 How long is forever? That’s a question asked by both children and adults. Danny is waiting for his mom’s blueberry pie to bake and it’s “taking forever.” That may seem like it, but that’s not even close. This Sunday, the Bible Story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has us contemplate the final destination of every person: Heaven or Hell. Both will last forever. Join us and find out more from Pastor Heath Butler, who brings…

Family

Sermon Text: Psalm 127 Family! The topic of “Family” brings with it all kinds of interesting comments. They are a target for jokes. They are a collection of goofballs. They are irreplaceable. Are they in-laws, or out-laws? We can’t imagine life without them. “Family” is all of the above, and more. This Sunday’s worship theme as we celebrate Christian Education is simply “Family!” We’ll talk about how “Family” can mean three different things. Each is a blessing from God.

Discipleship

You can also watch on our Vimeo page. At most wedding receptions, toasts are made to the bride and groom from several well-wishers. It usually begins with a short(?) speech for the newlyweds, and then ends when the guests are asked to “raise their glass” to celebrate the couple and wish them well. One of our lessons this weekend at St. Paul’s is Psalm 116. In verse 13 the psalmist says: “I will lift up the cup of salvation and…

Jesus our Priest

You can also watch on our Facebook page. Quick, give me the name of a priest in the Bible … any priest Old or New Testament? Prophets we know. Kings we know. But priests? Did you come up with Aaron, Moses’ brother? Or, Zechariah, John the Baptist’s father? Or those bad guys at Jesus’ trial, Caiaphas and his father-in-law, Annas? This weekend’s worship at St. Paul’s will add the name of another priest – Melchizedek. Maybe you’ve heard of him,…

I Wonder – Angels

Are angels real?  If they are, when did God create them?  What do they do?  How many are there?  Do we have “Guardian” angels?  How many angels are mentioned by name in the Bible?  These are some of the questions we’ll answer this weekend in our Summer Series “I Wonder About God.” Semon Text: Psalm 91
