Psalm 5 contrasts the holiness of God with the wickedness of the world. David begins the day in prayer, rejoicing that God hears His people and recognizing that entrance into God’s presence comes only by His abundant lovingkindness.

This sermon calls believers to live righteously in an unrighteous world. Do not envy the world, imitate the world, or join the world in rebellion. Walk before the Lord in holiness and trust the shelter of His favor.

Psalm 4 teaches us how to respond when lies, slander, and reproach threaten to define us. David turns to the Lord and remembers that the world may tell lies and believe lies, but God knows the truth perfectly.

This sermon calls believers to find their worth in the Lord, declare what is true, and trust God’s deliverance. Because the Lord hears His people and makes them dwell in safety, they can lie down and sleep in peace.
