Waiting For The Lord
God not moving as fast as you would like? Sometimes waiting on the Lord tests our patience and challenges us in stretching ways. Join Pastor Matt Sims as he walks us through Psalm 130 and expands our perspective on what it means to wait on God and trust in His timing.
Psalm 23
All of us have sheep like tendencies. We get misdirected, distracted, and sometimes make questionable decisions. However, we have a Shepherd to guides, protects, and cares for His sheep. Join Pastor Matt Sims as he walks us through Psalm 23 and helps us understand what it means that the Lord is our Shepherd.
The Main Thing
Today we celebrate the grand opening of Dallas Theological Seminary’s D. C. campus, which is now housed on site at Burke Community Church! Dr. Rodney Orr, Dean of DTS-DC, shares a message from Psalm 27 to commemorate the seminary campus opening.
Psalm 147 – Part 2
On one fishing excursion along the northern shore of Califonia just north of the Bay Bridge, we stayed out a little too late attempting to catch our limit of striped bass. Darkness descened quickly as we headed for the opening of the bay. A thick, gray marine layer dropped lower and lower as well, making […]
Psalm 147 – Part 1
Wikipedia, which is helpful for quick information on most topics, has this to say about pulsating stars: Variable stars may be either intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic variable stars: stars where the variability is being caused by changes in the physical properties of the stars themselves. This category can be divided into three subgroups. Pulsating variables, stars whose radius […]
Psalm 146
In children’s Sunday School in the 1960s I learned a little, catchy worship song I still remember. Perhaps you know it too. Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children, God is love, God is love; Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children, God is love, God is love. Verses two and three call […]
Psalm 145 – Part 2
From the beginning of our study of the Psalter to the end, we can’t miss the this wonderful book calls us to do. It’s one, little, monosyllabic word: praise. The first time it occurs is in Psalm 7 17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to […]
Psalm 145 – Part 1
If you were writing a book for God, what would be the focus of your final chapter? For David, that answer came easy. He would, and did, focus on the many reasons a saint has for praising God. Psalms 145 is that last chapter of the book for the godly king, and rightfully did he […]
Psalm 144
Solomon, being a wise man to beat all wise men (1 Kings 4:29), surely studied the personal and political life of his father, King David. What did he see? He saw how God blessed his father in every facet of his life when he put God first, and he witnessed the removal of that blessing […]
Psalm 141
Talk about a saint who experienced his share of hostility. That was David. Even though God had dethroned the inept, egotistical, power-hungry Saul, and replaced him with the young, unproven, but humble shepherd from Bethlehem, Saul didn’t go quietly into the political night. No, he looked for every opportunity to either eliminate his political opposition, […]
Psalm 139
Writing to Christians experiencing the leading edge of Neronian persecution, Peter, who likened the city of Rome to the wicked city of Babylon (1 Pet. 5:13), reminded believers how a hostile culture naturally uses slander, ridicule, and discrimination against believers in order to silence. They, therefore, should not be shocked at their treatment for such […]
