Presented by Julie Busteed I've been reflecting on some of Jesus' sayings—his proverbs—and I've noticed how often they return to the posture of the heart. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (Matthew 5:8). That raises an important question: what does it mean to have a pure heart? We often assume a pure heart means doing everything right—appearing polished and put together on the outside. But that kind of purity is rooted in our own striving, and it doesn't work. It doesn't last. It isn't sustainable. Scripture tells us the truth about our condition: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick (Jeremiah 17:9). Have you ever surprised yourself with your own reaction—something you said, thought, or felt—and wondered, where did that come from? It wasn't how you wanted to respond, yet it was real. The human heart is complex, deceptive, and difficult to understand. But when our hearts are turned toward purity, this posture gives the Holy Spirit room to work in us and through us. What difference does a pure heart make in the workplace? It shows up in genuine joy when a coworker receives a promotion or praise. It looks like helping others even when it doesn't advance your own position. It means refusing to gossip, choosing authenticity, and living with integrity when no one is watching. The right heart begins with humility. Scripture often speaks of a broken or crushed heart as a picture of humility. This kind of brokenness is essential, because a hard or stony heart will not submit to God's will. We pray with the psalmist, create in me a clean heart, O God (Psalm 51:10). Jesus promises it is the pure in heart who will see God. And when we invite Christ to dwell in our hearts, everything changes. This is why Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is such a powerful one to pray: I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power…to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16–19). Oh, that you and I would know this love—love that surpasses everything else—and be filled with it. Press on. Don't be discouraged. The work God is doing in the heart is often slow and unseen, but it is never wasted.

September 7, 2025 | Pastor Adam Muhtaseb and guest Michael Crawford, continue the series, Summer in the Psalms.

This week at Myrtle House Community Church, Martin O'Brien brought a powerful message about the deep longing within each of us— a longing to live well, to do what is right, to know God more deeply, and to live with true meaning and purpose. Too often, we settle for simply surviving. But God calls us to something greater: to live wholeheartedly for Him. We live in a world overflowing with information, yet starving for wisdom. In the middle of all the noise, what we need most is to hear the voice of God—above it all. Martin explored three essentials for a life that goes beyond survival: 1. Wisdom Wisdom is more than knowing what is right; it is choosing what is right—even when it costs us. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:18 that true wisdom comes not from the world but from God, revealed through the Holy Spirit. It guides our actions, shapes our words, and helps us navigate life's challenges with grace. 2. Righteousness Righteousness is not just about avoiding sin—it's about pursuing holiness. As Ephesians 4:17-24 teaches, we are no longer bound to our old way of life. Through Christ, we are renewed and called to live in holiness, reflecting God's character in every part of our lives. 3. Devotion Devotion is more than attending church or praying when it suits us. It is a daily walk with God—a deep longing to love Him, trust Him, and seek Him. Like the psalmist who cried, “As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God” (Psalm 42:1), we too are invited into a relationship of passion and surrender.

Restore Us, O God (Psalm 80, Aug 3rd 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church

Psalm 69 is titled Save Me, O God and we find the author in deep distress and despair. This situation is not caused by war or physical hardship, but by words. The thoughts and words spewed by others bring shame upon David. You remember a few weeks ago in Psalm 64, where the David's enemies “whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows?” It appears a similar situation is happening here. This Psalm is full of emotion as David is crying out, waiting on a response from God. And in this crying out and waiting, he reminds himself to put his hope in a holy and just God who will respond at the correct time and in an appropriate way.

Sermon preached on July 20th, 2025 at Stafford Baptist Church by Paul Abdallah.

Send us a textWelcome to Week 6 of the Soul Care Challenge!We all carry things in our hearts that need God's healing touch — bitterness, offense, disappointment. This week, we're talking about detoxing the heart with truth, grace, and intentional release. When your heart is clean, your soul can breathe.Anchor verse: “Create in me a clean heart, O God…” – Psalm 51:10

This moving Psalm speaks of someone overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, who cries out for salvation and receives deliverance. Set to the tune ‘The Streets of Derry,' it tells of the distress the psalmist is facing, the weariness from calling out, and the request for God's face not to be hidden. The Psalm ultimately turns towards the hope that God will rebuild the broken people and that all will dwell in peace.Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionVisit the Celtic Psalms website for scores/books, mp3s, CDs, and videos for Save Me, O GodFind out more about the Habits for the Spirit course: an 8-week online course exploring habits and daily spiritual practices to promote wellbeing in body, mind, and spiritFollow Kiran's monthly reflections on Bless My FeetPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

Psalm 26 focuses on the topic of vindication and Pastor Cana points out ways we feel the need for proof of our innocence. God is the only one who can vindicate us when we are wrongly blamed or shamed. Therefore, we are encouraged to pray boldly for vindication to the only true judge, our God.

This arrangement, set to the wordless tune ‘Caisleán an Óir,' portrays the urgency and energy with which the psalmist may have written these words. In this Psalm, we find numerous images of the various ways God can provide refuge and shelter for us when we feel we are at the “end of earth.”Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionVisit the Celtic Psalms website for scores/books, mp3s, CDs, and videos for Hear My Cry, O GodFind out more about the Habits for the Spirit course: an 8-week online course exploring habits and daily spiritual practices to promote wellbeing in body, mind, and spiritFollow Kiran's monthly reflections on Bless My FeetPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

Christ is both perfect high priest and perfect sacrifice. There are limits both to what we can do and are willing to do. The opposite is true of God.Lent 5 Fifth Sunday of Lent JudicaGenesis 22:1–14; Psalm 43; Hebrews 9:11–15; John 8:46–59

David made many mistakes in life, but Psalm 51 reflects the best of the King. Yes, he has been caught in grievous sin, but his penitential prayer radiates his contrite heart and serves as a model of confession even to this day.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday

Living Water #RTTBROS #Nightlight Living Water #RTTBROS #nightlight "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." - John 4:13-14 (KJV) The Living Water Water is essential for life, yet we often take it for granted. We go about our daily routines, rarely giving thought to this life-sustaining substance until we find ourselves parched and desperately thirsty. In those moments, we pass by the sugary drinks and artificial concoctions, reaching instead for pure, refreshing water. Our spiritual lives often mirror this pattern. We neglect our relationship with God, the source of living water, until we find ourselves spiritually dehydrated. In times of crisis or desperation, we suddenly remember our need for Him. We rush to prayer, seeking His intervention and comfort, only when we feel we can no longer manage on our own. The Lord speaks to this tendency in Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV): "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water." How often do we forsake the true source of life, attempting to quench our spiritual thirst with worldly substitutes that ultimately leave us empty? Christ offers us living water - a constant, life-giving flow of His presence and grace. He invites us to drink deeply and regularly, not just in emergencies. When we cultivate a daily relationship with Him, we find that our spiritual thirst is continually satisfied. In John 7:37-38 (KJV), Jesus proclaims, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." This promise is not just for times of crisis but for every moment of our lives. Let us learn to abide in Christ daily, drinking deeply from His well of living water. As we do, we'll find ourselves not only satisfied but overflowing with His love and grace, able to minister to others who are spiritually parched. May we echo the psalmist's words: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God" (Psalm 42:1, KJV). Let our souls yearn for God continually, not just in times of need, so that we may never find ourselves spiritually dehydrated, but always refreshed and renewed by His living water. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.

God loves me and can work with me even though I make mistakes. “Create in me a pure heart, O God” (Psalm 51:10).

Restore Us, O God

Restore Us, O God

The prayer of Psalm 80 is for God to restore Judah to himself in His grace. They had turned away from Him and were suffering the consequences of their actions. But, they boldly approached His throne of grace and mercy hopeful that He would restore them to Himself. That is what our loving shepherd does.

Psalm 51 is the prayer of a soul that is aware of its depths of sin and desperate need of God's grace. These first four verses cast every hope of forgiveness on God's mercy in ‘repentant faith.'3 The lyrics remind us about the trappings of sin, instruct us what to do with our sin, and teach us how to restore fellowship with God. As we will hear, the theme of this song is not sin. The theme of this song is mercy. I have entitled this first sermon on Psalm 51, “Have Mercy on Me, O God.” We will divide the text into three sections: 1. The Story Behind the Song, 2. The Heart of God Toward Sinners, 3. The Heart of Genuine Repentance.

We often say that it would be best if churches found ways to sing scripture. This week's song--'Preserve Me O God'--is exactly that.

1. Are you more thirsty for God than ever before?  As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God (Psalm 42:1) 2. Are you more loving? Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows […]

Pastor Brad Franklin brings a message of restoration. Watch this episode on our YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/_wFoRKa41kc Sermon Notes:  It's been written that when something happens to you, you have two choices of how to deal with it. You either get bitter or you get better.  We all need restoration. Why?Romans 3:23 Jeremiah 30: 17Psalm 51: 12Psalm 80: 19

In the first sermon of Advent/Christmas season, Buzzy Elder preached from Psalm 80 and our need to be restored by the God of Christmas. We all seek to find our our hope and restoration in this life in various places other than God, but ultimately He is the only One who can restore our souls. There is hope for restoration in Him. In fact, that's why He came.

As we return again to the book of Psalms, guest preacher Paul Stockton shares a message from Psalm 139 titled "Search Me, O God". Drawing from David's song, Paul shows us how God's intimate knowledge of David led the psalmist to trust the Lord with his whole heart, desiring to know him in the same way and to continue to be known without pretense or secrecy.

Brian Watson preached this sermon on Psalm 36 on October 9, 2022.

Come ye thirsty, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance, every grace that brings you nigh. —Joseph Hart In the first two chapters of Zephaniah, the prophet paints a portrait of universal judgment, followed by specific woes for the wicked nations surrounding the people of God. But here in the beginning of chapter 3, we see the Lord's judgment brought to bear on His own house. The Lord's righteousness requires that He deals with our sins just as He deals with those of our enemies. Because of this, most of the music we sing this morning takes a posture of repentance. After acknowledging God's pure righteousness (Holy, Holy, Holy) and justice (Arise, O God—Psalm 82), we respond to God's Word by calling ourselves penitents and confessing our sin before Him (Not All The Blood Of Beasts). Even after being assured by Isaiah to “weep no more,” our eyes melt in tears considering our own wickedness, and the price Christ had to pay on the cross (Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed). We call out from the psalter “cleanse me from my sin” (God Be Merciful To Me—Psalm 51), and we rest in the promise that the Lord “hides and cancels all [our] sins” (Blest Is The Man—Psalm 32). Our service concludes on a hopeful note from the hymn Come Ye Sinners, Poor And Needy: though we are lost and ruined by the fall, our dear Savior stands ready to embrace us in His arms. —Henry C. Haffner Key Words: Rebellious, Listen, Correction, Trust, Draw Near, Just, Fear, Wait, Anger Keystone Verses: The Lord within her is righteous; He does no injustice; every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. (Zephaniah 3:5) Bulletin Zephaniah 3:1-8 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city! 2She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord; she does not draw near to her God. 3Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning. 4Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law. 5The Lord within her is righteous; He does no injustice; every morning He shows forth His justice; each dawn He does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. 6“I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate, without a man, without an inhabitant. 7I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me; you will accept correction. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.' But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt. 8“Therefore wait for Me,” declares the Lord, “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation, all My burning anger; for in the fire of My jealousy all the earth shall be consumed."
