Psalm 1 sets before us two ways: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. The world offers counsel that seems safe and promising, but worldly wisdom will not stand before the judgment of God.

This sermon calls us to delight in the law of the Lord, meditate on His Word, and walk in the way of righteousness. True blessedness is found not in chasing happiness, but in knowing and delighting in God.

The world is defined by theology. Whatever you hold as true defines how you see the world. Whatever you believe has the power to save has your heart's affection, and it will motivate you to fight for it passionately.

Common throughout psalm 119 is a focus on God's word. One of the basics of being a Christian is knowing and obeying the word of God. If you are a Christian, your faith began when you confessed Jesus as your Lord. If Jesus is your Lord, then you obey His commands. The commands of Jesus are known through His word, the Bible.

In this sermon, I make a case that your devotion to the word of God does not begin with determination but with devotion.

Hope in God's word. Love God's word. And be transformed by God's word.
