Episode 128This Easter, we celebrate Jesus, the Risen King, by turning to Psalm 2—a royal and Messianic psalm that points beyond earthly kings to the reign of Christ Himself. We look at the rebellion of humanity against God's authority, the laughter of God at human pride, the divine decree proclaiming Jesus as the true Son and rightful King, and the warning to all people to submit to His rule. Along the way, we contrast the defiant spirit of Invictus with the joyful surrender found in Christ, and we're challenged to ask: Have we embraced Jesus as our King? Are there areas in our lives still resisting His reign?Let your heart rejoice this Easter as we find hope in the Risen King whose rule will one day be fully established forever!Original Sermon: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/42125251194210Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/_tmhSLuRy_cMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at https://take2pod.wordpress.com/

The Triumphant King | Psalm 68 | Pastor Will Cover
The weekly sermon from Alfred Almond Bible Church in Almond, NY
Continuing our series through the Psalms, we arrive at Psalm 2- one of the great Messianic Psalms. Here, we find that in the midst of the rebellion of the nations, God has placed His King upon the throne. This king, His son, shall rule and reign, and the nations are called to recognize the wisdom in submitting to his rule.
There are two questions that we need to ask. First, who/what is the ultimately authority in my life? Second, who am I worshipping with my life? Jesus is King, we don't make Him King, It is up to us to surrender and submit to Him in all areas of my life

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt ends our year and Advent series, preaching from Psalm 27:8. He focuses on the importance of both desire and discipline in our journey of seeking God. He contrasts various cultural perspectives on desire, from the postmodern focus on the journey itself to Eastern philosophies that view desire as a source of suffering. Yet, the biblical perspective suggests that our desires point us toward God, highlighting a beautiful paradox: even when we find God, the search continues as we seek to deepen that relationship, much like nurturing love in a romantic partnership.Pastor Ben also draws inspiration from Soren Kierkegaard's "The King and the Poor Maiden," to then reflect on the profound love and sacrifice embodied in the Jesus's incarnation. The journey to seek God's face is a pursuit initiated by God but is also an inherently relational endeavor. Through prayer and spiritual awakening, we are called to set our hearts free from lesser pursuits and focus on the transcendent beauty of Jesus' face. In the end, Pastor Ben encourages us to prioritize our spiritual journey, finding infinite satisfaction and vitality in this Christ-centered pursuit.

Gates are often the first thing you see when you approach a castle or a well-guarded facility. Psalm 118, specifically verses 19-24 tells us that only the righteous will enter the Lord's gate. This gate will be rejected, but will ultimately be rejoiced in (pointing us to Jesus as the true gate). As Advent closes, we'll explore five reasons we can rejoice in the King this Christmas season.

How can we know if someone is trustworthy? Better yet, how can we know if God is trustworthy? This is what Psalm 89 wrestles and worships with for over fifty verses. Ultimately, Jesus' kingship proves we can trust the Lord.
Psalm 93 is a psalm about the unshakeable reign of the King. We learn here that the Lord has proclaimed himself as King, ruling and reigning because he is the Creator of everything. We see three aspects of the Lord's reign in these verses. 1. Our God Who Reigns Majestically (vv. 1–2) 2. Our God Who Reigns Powerfully (vv. 3–4) 3. Our God Who Reigns Righteously (v. 5)
We were designed to desire. Desires are not bad, but our problem lies in desiring the wrong things. If we are not desiring God, we will desire something else. In Psalm 45, the sons of Korah draw attention to the beauty, majesty, and power of the king while admonishing the bride to make herself ready to meet him. In understanding the Psalms as anticipating the arrival of the true King in Jesus, we too must ready our hearts to desire the King in all his beauty.
Senior Pastor Damein Schitter begins our Advent series, SEEK: Seeing Everyone Enjoy the King, by preaching from Psalm 8. This series will trace the themes of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, all interwoven with the power of prayer. In this sermon though, Pastor Damein shows how Psalm 8 illuminates humanity's unique role in reflecting God's glory and discover the deeper questions of our place, predicament, and God's plan.Pastor Damein also explores what it means to live as both priests and kings within creation, as described in biblical texts like Genesis 1 and Psalm 8. He uncovers the psychological and spiritual impacts of living in alignment with God's divine order, using the metaphor of a compass to highlight how easily we go astray. Through candid reflections on modern challenges such as "workism" and consumerism, he also unveils the dangers of disconnecting from our God-given dignity, urging a return to seeing life as a divine gift rather than a series of self-made solutions.In ending, Pastor Damein turns us to the transformative power of prayer, particularly as captured through Psalm 8. Prayer is portrayed as a guiding force, realigning our hearts with God's vision and helping us embrace His presence more fully. In this series, we will be encouraged to shift from a life of constant production to one of receiving with gratitude and wonder. May this Advent season be a time where we embrace God's goodness, rediscover our identity as His beloved child, and prepare our hearts for His kingdom to come.

The Psalms are the hymnbook of God's people. They sang of their longing, questions, laments, and hope as they looked to God for their comfort and deliverance. It was also the hymnbook for Jesus, representing not only his earthly experience but that he was the fulfillment of every anticipation and promise they spoke about. Therefore, the Psalms prepare our hearts in anticipation of the coming King. As Psalms 1-2 open the psalter with the word "happy," can anyone truly be happy? These psalms remind us that even amid hard circumstances it is possible to be happy. Blessing, or happiness, comes from confessing and conforming to the King.
Jesus is King and because he is King, you should respond to him with worship, obedience and holiness.

In Psalm 72 we catch a glimpse of how people flourish when their king reigns with God's justice and righteousness. Not only that but we see a small picture of what it's like to follow Jesus as our eternal King. If you're wondering what following Jesus leads to, this is a good sermon to hear that it leads to life and flourishing under His care. Although there is pain and hardship in this world, we ultimately look forward to the day when all is right and we live completely under the perfect rule of King Jesus.

The Final Victory of the Messianic King (Psalm 21).
This Sunday, we studied Psalm 103. We are meant to hear in this Psalm Jesus' voice calling to us to rejoice in Yahweh, the Lord! Why? Because He loves us unconditionally in Christ. We live in a world where love is hard to find and it is especially hard to keep. People are fickle. Friends are often fickle. What makes it especially challenging is that we are sinners and so, there are often good reasons for why people struggle with us. Psalm 103 is glorious for the simple reason – God is glorious. He is unlike anyone else. Psalm 103:10 reads, “He does not deal with us according to our sin, nor repay us according to our iniquities.” That should stun us. He pursued us when others wouldn't. He rescued us from our guilt and shame when we deserved judgment and condemnation. God's love (hesed) is as “high as the heavens are above the earth” (Psalm 103:11). This Sunday's message is called “The Unfailing Love of the King.” We are going to celebrate the Lord's Supper together and this is a great passage to prepare our hearts to take communion as God's people. Come and join us this Sunday and let's bless the Lord with all our being. In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor waterbrooke.church

Psalm 45 is not simply a song about Solomon, it is a song about the True King of all Kings! Christ is the King Eternal and he is worthy. All earthly, all national, all political, all social allegiances, affections, and attentions being subjected to our first allegiance, affection and attention, which is our King and his Kingdom!
In Psalm 45 we learn that Jesus is the perfect King. [NOTE: This recording has several gaps due to technical issues.]
This Sunday Andy Keppel will be leading us through Psalm 31. Here's the first part of the text to help you prepare: In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake, you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me O LORD, faithful God.

Why are people so drawn to royalty? What fascinates us about the rich, famous, and royalty-like celebrities and athletes? Psalm 2 tells us that all of naturally long for a king. The problem is that apart from Christ, we rebel against God's royalty. Join is as we continue our series on Finding HOPE in the Psalms.
In this sermon, Pastor Kody preaches that we worship a King who is holy in His reign, rule, and relationships.
Waterbrooke Family, This Sunday, we discussed persevering as a believer in a broken and a hostile world. Jesus says these words in Matthew's gospel: “But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). He says this is in the context of teaching his disciples that the mission of God will happen in an increasingly hostile world: “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to the nations, and then the end will come.” How is your faith? Are you feeling like throwing in the towel? Are you weak and weary? This Sunday's psalm is a great one. It's Psalm 110 and it is the most quoted Psalm in the entire New Testament. That might say something about how crucial it is to our lives and to Christ's mission. Our hope in perseverance is not our power to persevere but in Christ's power to hold us and to keep us to the end. This is truly great hope and encouragement. Our sermon is called “Jesus: The Priest King.” In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

Reading poetry can be difficult. When that poetry alludes to future events, it can be even more vexing. Yet the New Testament quotes the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book. So we seek to understand how these poetic songs foreshadow the coming of Christ and fill us with hope amidst our struggles. Questions: Do you see the limitations of viewing God's Word as simply an example to imitate or a law to follow? Is Jesus in his sleeping (i.e. death) and his waking again (i.e. resurrection) your hope when feeling under attack? Is Jesus more precious to you today as the True and Better King?

What gives inspiration to the Psalms? Is it David? Is it us? Now that the veil (2 Cor. 3:13–16) has been lifted, how might we read these texts with the clarity that Christ provides? In so doing, we see it's not just David or we who at times feel forsaken, but Jesus who has been utterly forsaken for our sake. He has not hidden himself in times of trouble but bore the full weight of it, not our sin in part, but the whole! Questions How does this psalm sing God's grace over us?
