Do you matter?It may be one of the most important questions a human being can ask.In this teaching on Psalm 127, John Ortberg explores meaning, significance, anxiety, achievement, and what the Bible says about human worth.Drawing from the work of Rebecca Goldstein, John examines what she calls a "crisis of mattering" and why so many people feel insignificant despite living in an age of unprecedented progress.This episode explores:- Psalm 127 and the search for meaning- Why achievement cannot provide lasting significance- The lie that your life doesn't matter- Your story inside God's larger story- The Incarnation and human worth- How every act of faithfulness mattersIf you've ever struggled with purpose, significance, discouragement, or the feeling that your life doesn't make a difference, this conversation is for you.Scriptures:- Psalm 127- Genesis 1- Matthew 10#Psalm127 #JohnOrtberg #Meaning #Purpose #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #Prayer #BibleStudy #Significance #Psalms

In this episode of The Man of God Podcast, Casey Wilson, Travis Shook, and Justin Bohner walk through Psalm 112 and discuss what it means for a man to fear the Lord.The fear of the Lord is not anxiety or distance from God. It is reverence, humility, obedience, and love rightly ordered before the Father. From that place, God forms men who are steady, generous, courageous, and faithful.This conversation explores the blessings of a godly life, the danger of chasing blessings instead of God Himself, the role of fathers in teaching reverence to their children, and why the fear of God drives out the fear of man.The blessed man is not the man who merely gains wealth, success, or influence. The blessed man is the one whose heart is set on the Lord.

Old Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Psalm 127 Unless the Lord Builds the House Introduction: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” That is a mouthful and deserves our careful consideration. There is more to these words than you might imagine, and certainly more than I imagined. The key to the Psalm is dependence on God, without which all of one's effort will be in vain (used 3x) in the text. The psalm reminds us to have an acute awareness of God's overseeing presence in our world and in our lives. Human strength and the apparent success in human ventures cannot be proven in short time frames, but can only be evaluated over a lifetime. Isaiah 40:6-7 “All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; sure the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” The context of this passage is God's reminder that it is only his word “implanted” and applied in our lives that will enable us to overcome the withering of our grass-like existence. Three Concerns for Building, 1-2 The efforts of building a “house.” The application could apply to any project, from the church, to a business, to one's own household. Obviously, “house” is not speaking of a place to live, but of a large family that grows over generations. We all hope and pray that the generations following us will continue to be faithful to the Lord. There will almost always be exceptions when certain of our descendants turn from God, but this psalm speaks of our actions at the present. Are we going to build the house, or is God building our house?  Guarding what one has built. Again, that could be a city, a nation, one's own home, or one's life. A watchman is watching for an impending attack. Evil lurks at any given moment. Human ability to watch and warn is limited. But God can see all, and without him our watching is in vain. It is not that a watchman in the city us unnecessary, any more than a builder is not needed to build a house. But our human limitations leave us vulnerable without God as the primary “watcher.”  Our house needs to be guarded from the evil one. His attacks come from every angle: TV's, computers, phones, alcohol, and worldly influences. Are we ensuring that the Lord watches the house?  How one treats his labor in building. God desires to give sleep/rest to his beloved. Labor is good and commanded by the Lord, but it is intended to be balanced with other responsibilities. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 prioritizes God and family ahead of one's work. We must work, but we must not “eat the bread of anxious toil” trusting in self instead of the Lord. Consider the word “vain.” We know the word because of its use in Ecclesiastes. Just as in Ecclesiastes, “vain” indicates that which is short term, not long term. It is the opposite of success and eternal life and joy. When we understand the word, we can see how Solomon warns us by negative statements. Building, watching, and laboring without the Lord's direction will end in failure. The opposite is then also true. Building, watching, and laboring with our eyes on the Lord, will not be vain, but instead, guarantees success. Therefore, there is security in building, watching, and laboring when the Lord is the goal and primary focus. Any effort or work we humans pursue, also comes with doubt and fear of failure. But when the Lord builds the house, we can be confident in the best outcome. Even in the midst of trials and missteps, we are always steadfastly following the goal, knowing that the Lord produces the outcome. The Primary Focus of Building Now we see what the Lord is building. The focus is on children that are a heritage or inheritance from the Lord. Complimenting verses 1-2, our children are not “ours,” they are “a heritage from the Lord,” and therefore as parents we are stewards (caretakers of another's goods) of our children, a blessing God has entrusted to you. God's primary goal for our children is not fun or happiness. If the Lord is building our house, and we are to be found faithful as stewards of God's children, teaching them that they are image-bearers of God sent throughout the world to reflect God's image. They are “children arrows” so that when he “speaks with the enemies in the gate,” parent nor child will be put to shame. Verses 3-5 are a contrast to the vanity of verses 1-2. The last three verses exhibit a house built by the Lord, a house over which the Lord will watch, and a household in which labor is kept in balance so that anxiousness is taken away because of one's trust in the Lord. The result: “God gives to his beloved sleep.” The implication is not just a good night's sleep, but a comfort and security knowing that the Lord is our ultimate provider. It is the opposite of the agonizing labor of one who is filled with fear and anxiety concerning his future. Verses 4-5 mirrors the three times in Genesis that the Lord commanded, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.” What is especially noteworthy is that the Lord said it twice following the Flood in Genesis 9:1, 7. It is difficult to read those words and not take to heart a direct command from God. Consider a few reasons why children were important to God: Most importantly, bearing children is kingdom work. We say, “Oh but look at how evil the world has become!” Yes, but it has always been that way, and God gave us the responsibility of filling the world with his image-bearers and children-arrows that will be able to “speak with his enemies in the gate.” Remember, the Lord is building the house, the Lord is watching over our lives and family, the Lord is taking away our “anxious toil.” Trust the Lord. Consider this: what are the expectations of the survival of a church that does not have children? If there are no children, you might as well preach their funeral. Soon the light that at one time shone brightly in those areas is now dimming, and soon will be extinguished. However, in this psalm the Lord is primarily exalting the benefit of children to the individual couple. Children are an “inheritance and reward from the Lord.” And what is especially wonderful today, because of Sacred Selections, those who are unable to have children can adopt without going into debt and those who cannot adopt can financially support adoption: “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world” (James 1:27). One more benefit: children grow us spiritually. Children require us to mature. Notice that the text refers to “children of one's youth.” Yes, we had children when were young and dumb, but if we trusted in God, “the Lord built the house and the Lord watched over our efforts.” Marriage and children change us to be more perfectly in the image of God, and is one of the primary ways the Lord prepares us for his eternal kingdom. Seeing the Greater House the Lord Is Building Psalm 127 is about a household. It is about building a house with the direction and help of the Lord. Without the Lord, the house and household are failures and do not reach the purpose of the Lord. In the text, the focus is not on a father or a mother, they are understood to be present and are builders along side the Lord, but they are not the focus. The Lord is the focus. He is the one who builds and watches; he is the one who gives rest to those who trust him and gives children arrows as an inheritance. Now I want you to tie this into the way the Lord pictures children in his kingdom. We are too narrow in our understanding if we are simply looking at the children of a physical family. Isaiah 53:10 This text briefly sets up what we will seen in chapter 54. In spite of the Lord offering himself in death, in his resurrection he will “prolong his days” and “see his offspring.” Just as “the Lord builds the house” in the psalm, so here we see the true house the Lord is building.  Isaiah 54:1-3, 13 This text gives us a description of how the Lord will see his offspring. Sarah, long dead, though desolate and unable to have children, will now see her children. In fact, she will have so many children that her offspring will be far more than children that come from the physical offspring of Abraham's concubine wife who was not barren. You might say, “But Sarah only had one child!” Oh no she didn't! In fact, Sarah is still having children! Even Isaac would not have been born if were not for the Lord building the house.  The children of Sarah are so many that God's true Israel must “enlarge their tent” so that the offspring of Sarah is spread abroad through the whole earth and possesses the nations. Verse 13 confirms this even further. “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.” Let's add one more text: Isaiah 56:3-5. God calls to the eunuchs, those who cannot have physical children, and tells them not to think of themselves as those who cannot produce offspring, for God will give them “in my house a monument and name better than [physical] sons and daughters.” So today is Mother's Day. That's nice, but it isn't the Mother's Day the Lord celebrates. Teresa's co-worker told her yesterday that she doesn't go to church on Mother's Day; it's too depressing. Well, that's not the way it is in God's kingdom, and that is not the way it is in this church. Everyone here are mothers and fathers of offspring equally great as the beautiful children we have present with us. No one is a dry tree in the kingdom of God.  Conclusion: “Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married, says the Lord.”  Berry Kercheville The post Psalm 127 Unless the Lord Builds the House appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

The Psalms also reveal more about our Savior who knew, sang and prayed the Psalms during His first coming. This series is intended to help believers see their Savior more clearly and grow in our worship. The Psalms also afford many opportunities to explain the Gospel and call upon nonbelievers to repent and place their faith in our wonderful Savior.

There's a profound difference between building a life and letting God build your life. It's a distinction that changes everything—from how we approach our daily tasks to the very foundation of our purpose and identity.The ancient words of Psalm 127 cut through our modern noise with startling clarity: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." It's a verse many of us can quote, perhaps even agree with intellectually. But what does it actually mean to live this way? What does a God-built life look like when we're navigating careers, relationships, parenting, and the thousand small decisions that fill our days?__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (Psalms 147:2-3) *1/ The Lord building his church - "The LORD doth build up Jerusalem:" 2/ The Lord gathering the outcasts - "he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel." 3/ The Lord healing and binding up wounds - "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on Psalm 147:2–3, highlighting God's sovereign and personal work in building His church, gathering His outcast people, and healing their broken hearts. It emphasizes that the Lord's actions—whether through the restoration of Jerusalem, the spiritual gathering of believers from every nation, or the healing of wounded souls—are not the result of chance or human effort, but of divine sovereignty and grace. The church is portrayed as both a visible community and a spiritual body, continually built by Christ through the proclamation of His Word, with each believer shaped like a living stone in His eternal temple. The sermon underscores that God's work in salvation is personal and purposeful: He draws the outcast, wounds the conscience through the law to reveal sin, and then heals through the gospel, giving redemption in Christ alone. Ultimately, the message is one of profound comfort and assurance—God knows His people, heals their wounds, and will bring them home, fulfilling His promise to gather and restore all who are His.

In this reflective episode, Christopher Perrin interviewed Andrew Kern, his long-time colleague and friend, President and CEO of The CiRCE Institute, in a wide-ranging conversation about the philosophy and practice of teaching. They delve into the meaning of truth—what it is, how it's often misunderstood, and why it remains central to classical Christian education. Drawing from ancient sources and modern confusions, Perrin and Kern challenge the reduction of truth to mere facts, propositions, or private opinion. Instead, they present a more robust vision: truth as reality itself, made known through the Logos, and discoverable in every discipline, from science to poetry.Perrin and Kern explore how this deeper understanding of truth can liberate students, form character, and unify fragmented thinking in a disoriented age. They critique the cultural tendencies toward relativism, scientism, and technocracy, offering classical education as a hopeful and coherent response. Along the way, Perrin and Kern draw on Plato, Augustine, Pascal, and Sayers to recover a compelling view of truth that is beautiful, knowable, and formative. Listeners will be invited to rethink how we teach, how we learn, and how we live in pursuit of what is true.Listeners may also be interested in the book Unless the Lord Builds the House, as well as the Apprenticeship Program and courses taught by Andrew Kern available on ClassicalU.

Laura Gish, VP for Prayer and Advancement at Mission Mutual, is a prayer leader and mobilizer of givers and intercessors in collective impact spaces. Laura was raised in a faith-filled home and felt an exceptional call to prayer and the Bible in her early teens. Through her father's job, Laura was deeply connected to the Bible translation space from a young age and was able to witness the evolution of the illumiNations impact alliance to what it is today. In her early career, Laura served at Seed Company where she helped to spearhead a prayer movement which saw huge breakthroughs in the field and in funding.   That experience led her to Mission Mutual which serves as a backbone for multiple impact alliances in a variety of impact spaces. She has an incredible perspective on being founded and rooted in prayer, personally and as an organization, and the necessity of collaboration in the Great Commission arena. You won't want to miss all she had to share!   Major topics include: Laura's early life, faith background, and early career The story of Seed Company's donor funded prayer program Laura's favorite outcomes from the prayer program Helping organizations develop a foundation of prayer The unique power of a collective impact alliance Key characteristics of a collective impact framework The story and vision of Mission Mutual Differences between a giving fund and an impact alliance What is a backbone service provider?

It is the strategy.” “Prayer is the catalyst for intimacy with God.” “Look at what God can do when we put aside our individual logos and agendas, and we pursue the collective power of what partnership can be when it's united under a vision God has given His people to pursue and it's rooted in prayer.”  “Generosity begets generosity.” “When we yoke together in unity, the collective impact capacity isn't just doubled, it's exponentially expanded.” “Prayer is one of the most generous things we can offer.” “God changes our hearts when we pray.” “Be a faithful steward of the brokenness that God has planted inside of you.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mission Mutual  Seed Company (see our interview with CEO, Davis Powell) IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) Every Tribe Every Nation (ETEN) ACHIEVE (A Church in Every Village Everywhere) Close the Bible Gap The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Psalm 127:1a | The Lord Builds the House   Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.   John 17:21 | Oneness in the Church   that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.   Isaiah 60:3 | Drawn to Your Light   And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.   Ecclesiastes 4:12b | Strength in Unity   a threefold cord is not quickly broken.   Mark 16:15 | The Great Commission And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

What does it really mean to build your life, your ministry, or your future with God not just for Him? In this Pentecost message, we dive deep into Psalm 127 to unpack the futility of self-building, the restful posture of trust, and the gospel promise of family. From Babel to the Upper Room, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores how the Spirit builds what striving never could. Jesus is not only the cornerstone. He's the builder. Unless the Lord builds the house, our labor is in vain.

Hope Darst has been leading worship – both in her home church and on stages around the world for decades, although unlike most artists she signed her first record deal at the age of 39 in 2019. Since then, she's penned several singles that have blessed millions of believers including Peace Be Still, Come Alive, and If the Lord Builds the House. Tasha Layton's vocational and life experience is crazy colorful – before coming to faith in Jesus Christ, she studied Buddhism and spent four years touring all over the world as a back-up vocalist for pop superstar Katy Perry. She's now a Christian music favorite and her latest single – Worship Through It – which is especially pertinent for today's conversation – was number one on the charts recently. Our third worship tutor today is Hillary Scott. If you're a country music fan, you're familiar with my dear friend Hillary because she's part of the platinum selling, multiple Grammy and CMA award-winning band, Lady A. What you might not know is that Hillary began her storied musical career as a worship leader and has never stopped using her pipes to point people to Jesus. Rounding out this fabulous foursome of guests on the porch today is Rita Springer. If you mention the name Rita Springer in the company of young worship leaders, it's likely one or two will involuntarily gasp because she's sort of like the Michael Jordan of worship leading. In addition to writing and recording songs for the church at large for the past 30+ years, Rita has also mentored hundreds of Christian artists and worship leaders around the world. Having Hope, Tasha, Hillary and Rita here together to dive into the theology of worship is the equivalent of having Muttiah Muralitharan and Richard Hadlee here to dive into the subject of bowling because they are two of the greatest professional bowlers the world has ever seen. Okay, maybe that wasn't the best analogy since bowling does seem to be more of a niche sport, but the bottom line is we've got a few of the most experienced and humble worship leaders of this generation gathered on the porch today to help us lean more fully into the embrace of Jesus, which is what shapes how we live and lead as Christ followers. I'm so excited about how God is going to reveal Himself to us today so please grab your Bible and your favorite beverage and your most comfortable chair and pull it up close to ours on the porch because believe me, you're going to want to hear every single word these saints share today.
