    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 26, 2020
     | 6,063 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?

    Our faith is tested not that God will learn if our faith is enduring but that we will learn if it is. The one sure proof that we possess saving faith is that our faith "endures to the end."

    (We opened by playing Chris Tomlin’s “Forever” song found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjrAeWCOg6Q&feature=fvwrel. Immediately after the song, I read Psalm 118 in its entirety, and prayed.)
