Title: Luther's Psalm
Scripture: Psalm 118
Description: To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, we decided to work through Psalm 118, the favorite psalm of Martin Luther. And it isn't difficult to see why he loved this psalm so much. It captures the heart of the gospel Luther helped to clarify: everything depends on God's steadfast love, which is freely available to all who believe.

Title: Steadfast Love
Scripture: Psalm 90

Title: My Portion Forever
Scripture: Psalm 73
Description: Everyone experiences envy. No one enjoys what that feels like. But how do we overcome our tendency to envy the good things other people enjoy? This psalm helps us see that envy always comes from overvaluing what other people have, and from undervaluing what it is to have God's presence in your life.

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Rejoicing in Vengeance?
Scripture: Psalm 58
Description: This psalm is one of many that pray for the destruction of Israel's enemies. If you don't live with enemies close at hand, psalms like these can be hard to connect with. And given the brutal language, psalms like these can seem totally out of step with Jesus's call to love your enemies and pray for your persecutors. How should we respond to prayers like these? Should we rejoice in vengeance?

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Wealth and Wisdom
Scripture: Psalm 49
Description: How can we learn to worship God with our wealth rather than worshipping wealth as our god? We need to see what death does to wealth, so that we can see what Jesus does to death. Then we can see more clearly what Jesus means for our wealth.

Title: The God Who Speaks
Scripture: Psalm 19
Description: All relationships depend on communication. If God exists, our only hope for knowing anything about him, much less knowing and loving him, depends on his willingness to speak to us. So where can we hear from God?
Date: 07/23/17
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The God Who Saves

Title: Living Together In Christian Unity
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:11-21
Description: Paul's goal in writing to his friends is to deepen their faith. As he defends himself and his ministry against specific accusations, he puts forward an example of relating to the Corinthian church, where we find an encouragement to live a self-denying, unified life with brothers and sisters in Christ. The power to live like that comes from our identity in Christ since all of us sinners need a savior. Our purpose is to bring all glory of God.
