D6: week of 10/28

Family Theme:  Protection

HE'LL BE WATCHING OVER US
Psalm 121-124

Psalms 120-134 are called "songs of ascent" because the Jews

sang them as they made the uphill journey to Jerusalem for 

worship.  Psalms 121-124 celebrate God's protection.

1.  Rest! God Is Up Anyway  (Psalm 121)
     God alone can be our help in time of need because He 

     never fails.

2.  Rejoice! We Are Going to God's House  (Psalm 122)
     David felt joy at the thought of going to the house of the

     Lord to worship.

3.  Escape!  God Delivers Us  (Psalm 124)     

     Whatever the circumstance that prompted the writing of

     this psalm, were it not for the mercies of God, all would

     have been lost.

Family Theme:  Sovereignty

REJOICE! OUR GOD REIGNS
Psalm 96-97

Psalms 96-97 celebrate the sovereignty of God and encourage

His children to worship Him with joy and gladness.

1.  Rejoice, Sing of God's Glory and Majesty (Psalm 96: 1-6)
     We should proclaim God's glory in a celebratory manner to

     all the nations of the earth.

2.  Rejoice, the Lord is a Righteous Judge (Psalm 96: 7-13)
     Our worship should lead us to carry God's message

     throughout the earth.

3.  Rejoice, the Lord Reigns (Psalm 97: 1-12)     

     Since Yahweh reigns, let all the earth rejoice.

D6: Week of 10/14

Family Theme:  Eternal King

TRUST OUR ETERNAL KING
Psalm 89:1-37

This psalm celebrates God's promises to David and his

descendents - one of whom is Christ, our eternal king.

The psalm is a great reminder of the supremacy and

faithfulness of God.

1.  Trust God's Promises (Psalm 89: 1-4)
     God's goodness and kindness are ever present and He is 

     faithful in all situations.

2.  Look to Creation to Glimpse God's Power (Psalm 89: 5-18)
     The God we serve is so awesome and great that we scacely

     imagine His splendor.

3.  Trust and Obey (Psalm 89: 19-37)
     God's promises make obedience necessary.  Anything

     less would be foolhardy and disrespectful.
