Listen and read +
David feels alone, in a generation focused on emptiness and trivialities. God promises deliverance in words that are perfect and eternal. Plus a discussion on the use of imprecatory prayer.

Psalm 11 - Foundation, Flight, and Fight
Listen and read +
What's David tempted to flee from? What foundations are in danger? How does God "feel" about men devoted to violence? This message ends abruptly when we began a street level discussion about strategies and tactics in dealing with a government bent on violence.

Psalm 8 - Image, Purpose, Destiny
Listen and read +
What is man that You are mindful of him? Well, for starters, humanity is the race that's supposed to bear God's image in subduing the whole of creation; ruling over the work of His hands and exercising dominion. Just like our elder brother, the last Adam, founder of a new humanity.

Galatians #10: Paul's Summing Up
Listen and read +
The Apostle ties everything together in a neat bow here, as we end the series with the last verses of chapter 6. A prominent ethical/judicial note is in the text that hasn't been explored before and has immediate relevance to our situation: That is, when people tell you who they are, it's not unloving to believe them.
