Podcasts about Psalm 34

This expository sermon on Psalm 34, “Taste and See That the LORD Is Good,” unfolds David's song of praise, his invitation to fear the LORD, and his assurance of God's care and redemption. Drawing rich connections to Christ as the greater David, the true Refuge, and the Redeemer of sinners, it calls believers to bless the LORD at all times, trust Him in affliction, and live in the holy fear that flows from His redeeming love. PM Service, 02 November 2025, Lebanon Presbyterian Church (PCA), Abbeville County, South Carolina, USA

There is no want to them that fear him

Deliverance leads to devotion. God does not love us because we are good, but because He is. And yet, experiencing God's goodness leads us to participate in it. In Psalm 34, David sings from a cave after pretending to be insane, not from a place of strength but from a place of survival. Still, he declares, “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” and we can join him in tasting and trusting, in seeing and sharing.

Psalm 34 is a Psalm of Anguish in which David cries out to God, and he hears him. Tune in, learn, apply!

In this episode, Ash and Kate Wilcox unpack Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Together, they talk about what it means to experience God’s presence when life feels unbearable, when your heart feels shattered, and when it seems like your prayers are going unheard. Kate shares how this verse became deeply personal during a season of loss, and how she began to sense God’s nearness in quiet, unexpected ways. Ash reflects on the tension between wanting to “get over it” and learning to sit with God in it — trusting that His closeness isn’t dependent on how strong we feel. This episode is a comforting reminder that your brokenness doesn’t disqualify you from God’s presence — it invites it.

Psalm 34 // Kevin Shoemaker

Pastor Judy Dawson's message, drawn from Psalm 34, focuses on the way prayer unfolds, as described in the chapter. She emphasises how our decisions shape not only our own lives, but also the lives of those around us.

This is part two of two on a message about praise.  Enjoy!!

Send us your feedback — we're listeningEpisode Description: What if the loudest voice in your life isn't God's—but the crowd's? In this powerful message, Reverend Ben Cooper opens Psalm 34 to confront the tension of modern faith: anxiety, exhaustion, and spiritual hunger in a culture addicted to noise.We explore why being in church cannot replace being in Christ, why praise is a weapon in weary seasons, and how to strengthen yourself in the Lord like David—so you can pursue, overtake, and recover what's been stolen.This episode names the “lesser voices” for what they are—the serpent's whisper dressed in culture, politics, platforms, and performance. Reverend Ben Cooper speaks candidly about spiritual abuse, religious manipulation, and the urgent need for authentic shepherds who lead us back to the cross.Through honest teaching and communion, you'll learn how to audit your circle, guard your mind, and re-centre your life around prayer and Scripture. This is not entertainment; it's a call to resilient, end-times faith.“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” – Psalm 34 : 8If fear, shame, or people-pleasing have zipped your faith into a spiritual mortuary bag, this is your invitation to rip off the tag and rise again. Let this message reset your focus, renew your courage, and bring you back to the only safe place—the cross.Biblical Foundation:Psalm 34 — “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”1 Samuel 30:6 — “David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.”John 10:11-13 — Jesus, the true Shepherd, versus the hired hand.2 Timothy 3:1-5 — Warnings about perilous, self-centred times.Episode Highlights:How to silence the noise of crowds and cultureStrengthening yourself in the Lord when you feel overlookedRecognising the traps of plastic religion and counterfeit spiritualityCommunion as a reset of identity and directionDiscernment in leadership: spotting snakes, foxes, and locustsBreaking free from fear, shame, and people-pleasingRe-centering your life on prayer, Scripture, repentance, and obedienceEnd-times urgency: choosing holiness over hypeLife Application:Spend time this week cutting off one “lesser voSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

In Psalm 34 we find a powerful invitation, “Taste and see that the Lord is good". What does this mean? And how can we do this? In Part 6 of our In Christ sermon series, Pastor Rob Bentz shares how to Taste, Trust, and Seek the Goodness of God in our latest sermon, Transformed by God's Goodness.

When the Bible says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” what does that really mean? This message explores how we can experience God's goodness every day. Tune in and be reminded that God's kindness is constant and always available to you.

What does it mean to value goodness as the people of God? In this message from Psalm 34, Pastor Joel Tomkinson invites us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” Drawing from David's song of deliverance, we discover that God's goodness is not just an abstract idea—it's a reality we can receive, trust, and seek through Christ. When we taste His goodness, we learn to trust in His character and reflect that same goodness in our lives. Join us as we explore how disciples of Jesus are transformed by God's goodness and sent to shine it into the world.

This is part one in a two part message on praise.  Have a blessed week!

Psalm 34:1-6l

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRecorded in London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper brings two timeless passages—Psalm 34 and Matthew 6:9–13—into one life-changing reflection. This message begins in worship and ends in prayer, reminding every listener that praise opens the door and prayer keeps it open.Ben leads us through the heart of David's cry: “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.” Then he connects it with the words of Jesus: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” Together, these passages form a spiritual rhythm—gratitude, surrender, and dependence.Through this devotional, you will rediscover that prayer is not a performance, but a lifeline; not a ritual, but a relationship. God hears every whisper and walks with those who seek Him in honesty and faith.Biblical Foundation:Psalm 34:1–4, 8 (NIV) “I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”Matthew 6:9–13 (NIV) “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”Episode Highlights:Psalm 34 shows worship as the weapon that defeats fear.Matthew 6 teaches prayer as the language of faith, trust, and surrender.The link between praise and prayer — two sides of the same relationship.Why “Our Father” reshapes identity and removes isolation.How daily bread points to more than food — it's the provision of peace.Communion at the close: resetting the heart around God's goodness.Life Application: When David said “I will bless the Lord at all times,” he chose praise in pain. When Jesus said “Our Father,” He taught us intimacy, not distance. Together, these truths teach us to live with open hands—praising in storms and praying in surrender.This week, take five quiet minutes a day to pray Psalm 34 out loud, then recite the Lord's Prayer slowly, pausing at each line. You will find that gratitude strengthens your faith, confession clears your heart, aSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom.  What do we do when we hit rock bottom?  There is always hope because as Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him, Jesus has prayed for us.  Peter may have faltered, but his faith did not fail him.  There is a sifting we all will go through but we must seek the Lord during that sifting.

If you are broken hearted, smashed and shattered, this then is the psalm for you.This just might be your special day of unique blessing: if so, He could be nearer than ever. He could be giving  you a season to more clearly see Him; and more porously be aware of Him.Join me for 7 minutes in the Psalm of the smashed. https://youtu.be/SYo1h0R7jhU

As this video goes out, it will find those who are crushed of spirit.  It will land upon those who are brokenhearted. If that is you today, the Lord has a sweet gift for you today in Psalm 34.  As I think of it, brokenheartedness is to be distinguished from rebellion. Rebellion is giving God the middle finger.  Brokenheartedness is reaching out to God with all our crushed fingers. The Lord promises a precious part of the experience of Him: HIS NEARNESS. To my crushed brothers and sisters, may the Lord be NEAR today.Please listen 7 minutes. https://youtu.be/Py7xuJ1hHz4

In Psalm 34, David invites his listeners to learn the fear of Yahweh. But far more than an intellectual pursuit, David reminds us that to fear of the Lord, it demands that our lives come into alignment (conformed) with the God that we stand in awe and tremble before. In other words, to fear God means to have His righteousness, holiness, purity, and life demonstrated in and through our own. In this message, Nathan walks through Psalm 34, and encourages us to not only learn, but to experience and live the fear of Yahweh.

Psalm 34 is an anchor passage for many believers, written by David in a moment of fear and failure, yet filled with praise and hope. From the cave where David hid, he reminds us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” This psalm shows us how God meets us in our deepest fears and longings, and invites us into a life shaped not by fear or misplaced desire, but by trust in Him.Here are some things we'll learn from Psalm 34:· How David's story shows us that fear can distort our choices, but also how God redeems our failures.· Why the “fear of the Lord” is not paralyzing, but transforming. It is teaching us to take God seriously and find protection and refuge in Him.· How our desires, when misdirected, can enslave us, but when set on the Lord lead to true abundance.· The invitation to taste and see God's goodness firsthand, not through secondhand accounts, but in personal experience with Him.· How Jesus fulfills the promises of Psalm 34, becoming what we were not so that we can become who God created us to be.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

In seasons of hurting, it is difficult to find comfort and peace. But there is a source that we can draw from. In Psalm 34, we find the future King David running for his life in a cave, surrounded by others who are miserable. Yet, David can still praise God.Psalm 34 SuperscriptionPsalm 34:1-31. WHEN I AM HURTING I WILL PRAISE GOD PASSIONATELY AND PUBLICLY. PSALM 34:4-7Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise… PSALM 34:8-102.

"Track 34: Taste and See (Psalm 34)", Thad Yessa | 8/10/25 by West Hills Church

Have you ever felt desperate… alone… afraid… yet somehow held together by a thin thread of hope? Psalm 34 was written out of that kind of moment. It's not just a song, but it's an invitation. David had just walked through one of the most dangerous and fearful experiences of his life. And in that moment of fear and despair, God met him, rescued him, changed him, and now David is inviting us to experience the God who draws near for ourselves.
