Sermons on Psalms (Page 5)
In You I Do Take Refuge
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 7:1-17 to highlight David’s response to being slandered. We hear the prayer of those who are slandered: declaring trust in God, defining their innocence, depending on God’s righteousness; the protection of the slandered: God judges the wicked, wickedness backfires; and the praise of the slandered. “I will give to the Lord the thanks due to…
A Heart of Wisdom
In this communion message, Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven uses Psalm 90:1-17 to answer several key questions. The Psalmist Moses proclaims who God is, who we are, and how we must live before God. “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
Rebuke Me Not in Your Anger
In Psalm 6:1-10, David reveals much about the character of God. Mr. Eduardo Martorano explains David’s grief in verses 1-7, and David’s relief in verses 8-10. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
The Righteous Man
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 5:1-12 to clarify the life set apart for the Christian man or woman. The psalmist David describes the way believers surrender to God, separate themselves from sin, and spot wickedness. “For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”
Thankfulness in the Presence of God
Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven uses Psalm 100:1-5 to rejoice in the gifts we receive from God’s gracious hand. This Psalm provides a call to come with gladness, a call to know the Lord, and a call to give thanks.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
Answer Me When I Call
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 4:1-8 to show how trust in God brings peace and contentment. In this Psalm, we hear David appeal to God, assess the situation, and acknowledge security in the Lord. “In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
The Lifter of My Head
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 3:1-8 to bring a message of comfort to all those trusting in God. In this psalm of David, we learn to describe our trouble, describe our God, and to describe our request. “Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people!”
Why Do Nations Plot in Vain?
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 2:1-12 to bring a message of encouragement as we face troubling times. From this Psalm, we learn the scheme of the nations, the scorn of the Father, the subjugation under the Son, and the suggestion of the Spirit. “Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear… Blessed are all who take refuge…
Who May Dwell with God
In Psalm 15:1-5, David explains who is welcome to dwell with God. Mr. Eduardo Martorano reviews the character, conversations, companions, and the commitments expected of all true believers. “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.”
He Spoke, and It Came to Be
In Psalm 33:1-22, we read the explanation for God’s exclusive claim to power and glory. Mr. Eduardo Martorano stresses both God’s sovereign omnipotence as creator and ruler and God’s supreme worthiness with the call and reason for reverent worship.
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they…
