Sin can hinder joy and contentment because guilt can weigh us down. The Gospel of salvation can rid us of our guilt and bring us true joy.

In Psalm 5, David shows us that, because of the forgiveness that God provides, we have a defense against the accusations of the Devil because our Defender is Christ.

The Gospel is the Good News that, as sinners who God has the right to condemn, He also has provided a Deliverance from that condemnation.

Life is sometimes less than peaceful. But Psalm 4 tells us some of what we need to feel peace in all circumstances.

In these times where we are wondering what is going on, we need to realize that we can always depend on one thing: God is still in charge.

In Psalms 42 and 43, David is talking to himself. He is acknowledging that he is feeling depressed. But then he looks away from himself to the One who can provide peace and hope.

As we start our new series looking at The Gospel in the Psalms, we start with Psalm 1 and see how it shows how the righteous way leads to life and the way of the wicked leads to death and destruction.

As we conclude our series on Unshakable Faith, we think about the idea of maintaining it and Who we should look to for help with that.

This encouragement is really for everyone. It comes from Proverbs 3, and shows us how we can have God's peace in our lives.

Psalm 90 was written by Moses and it shows his desire for believers to be taught not to waste their days is light of God eternal and sovereign plan.

True unity is to dwell together in God's goodness, not on anything in us or anything around us.

The pleasure that God gives to satisfy our souls should fuel our desire to be in His presence, either individually or corporately.

As we celebrate the risen Savior, we think about the anguish He went through to secure our salvation. And then the victory He accomplished when He defeated death.

When a faithful believer finds himself with a fainting heart surrounded by things that make him feel alone and afraid, he can pray to God, knowing He can hear and cares.

As we continue in the uncertain times, we need to continue to realize that the object of our trust determines the outcome of our emotional and physical well being.

In uncertain times, it is good to have faith in an unshakable God and His Word to look to for stability.

In these uncertain times, both with the economy and health other craziness, it is good to know Who we can trust and what it means to trust Him and the benefits we get from it.

With all that is going on around is lately - sickness, death, economic problems, problems with job - it seems our world is falling apart. But we, as Christians, have something sure and steady we can rely upon.

One of the main characteristics of false teachers is that they do not base their beliefs on the inspired Word of God. So, we must make it our purpose to become established and rooted on the firm foundation of God's Word, so that we can stand firm.

As we move on from looking at the different kinds of false teachers, we now look at some of the characteristics they all have in common.

Today, as we continue to look at the types of false teachers the Bible warns us about, we look at the Tickler and the Speculator.

As we continue to look at the different types of false teachers, we talk today about the Abuser and the Divider.

Satan's scheme is to use false teachers. He loves unmotivated believers and the distracted and confused, because they lack discernment. A charlatan is a person who uses Christianity as a means of personal gain. A prophet is a person who claims to be gifted with a personal message from God.

We continue our study today of what Peter has to say about false teachers in 2nd Peter 2.

We start our study today on 2nd Peter chapter 2 and hearing what it has to say about false teachers and why we need to beware of them.
