April 28, 2024 - Psalm 88 is the darkest of all the Psalms. It is the desperate cry for help from a leper who is drawing near death after wrestling with a disease that has left him without strength, isolated, and lonely. Psalm 88 gives opportunity for the church to learn how to participate in “weeping with those who weep” as they care for the vulnerable. For those who are suffering, it demonstrate...

April 21, 2024 - Psalm 87 demonstrates God’s love for Zion and the joy of the nations that is represented by that place. God declares individuals from all the nations surrounding Israel who know him to be born of Jerusalem, saying 3x, “This one was born there.”The fullness of joy of the nations who are declared to be born in God’s city is portrayed in their singing, dancing, and confessing, “All m...

April 14, 2024 - Of all the 73 Psalms that David wrote, Spurgeon comments that Psalm 86 alone can be called the Psalm of David. Psalm 86 logically follows Psalm 85 which taught that there is life after sin. David becomes the living model of this, demonstrating that a murderous adulterer can also be called “A Man after God’s Own Heart.” The 17 verses of this Psalm are one long cry for help in escap...

April 7, 2024 - Revival must be continually on the minds and in the prayers of every born-again believer. It was on the mind of the Israelites as they returned from the Promised Land and sought to be faithful in the time between reaping the consequences of their sins and inheriting the blessings of faithful living.

March 31, 2024 - God shows the source of the warmth and heart of Christian fellowship through The Sons of Korah in Psalm 84 by giving three marks of a blessed life. These entry-level marks must be present and increasing in each member of the congregation to bring the vibrancy and life to a church. These are the marks which differentiate the living churches from the dead churches and cathedrals whi...

March 24, 2024 - In Psalm 83, the church sees enemies of God surrounding the nation Israel, “To wipe Israel out as a nation (v. 4).” The church in 2024 has transcended ethical and geographical boundaries, and we are surrounded, albeit differently than our ancient counterparts. Today we are forced to fight on many fronts—socially/culturally, politically, religiously. We must combat heresies coming...

March 17, 2024 - In Psalm 82 the forgotten attribute of God brilliantly on display. Conservative churches of our generation have virtually forgotten impartiality as an essential attribute of God. Deut. 10:17, “For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.” What is the response then of God’s people and of t...

March 10, 2024 - Psalm 81 is an emotionally rich passage which demands two great things of the church. First, celebration of God and praise for his deliverance from bondage. Second, the rededication of our lives to him and the ordering of our lives around his great promises. He gives a promise which has been incredibly influential in church history, particularly through George Muller, who cared fo...

February 25, 2024 - Psalm 79 represents the cutting and pasting of many other verses from Scripture, particularly from the Psalms, that teach Christian how to use the Bible to give expression to their own situation. Israel also lost their ability to atone for their sins in the temple, forcing them to rely on God alone to restore their relationship and remove the penalty of their sins. Today, the c...

February 18, 2024 - Psalm 78 is a recounting of history, but not only for the sake of remembering the past. It is an appeal to future generations of God’s people to remember our history that we might gain wisdom from it, that our lives might more glorify God, and that through it we might see generational faithfulness in the church. The link that ties the historical re-tellings of the Bible togethe...

February 11, 2024 - Dr. David Gambo joins us this week to look at Exodus 15 and how we can follow the example of Moses and the Israelites to celebrate defining moments in our lives. For more information about Heritage Church, visit our website at: https://heritageshawnee.org

February 4, 2024 - Psalm 77 takes place entirely at night with anxiety and trouble keeping the psalmist awake. The trouble appears so close to Asaph that it is seemingly blocking the glory and majesty of God from his view.

January 28, 2024 - Psalm 76 is a Zion Psalm. A Fighting Psalm. A Warrior’s Psalm. It is also a Psalm that contains, from start to finish, the theme of praise. Praise to God for his faithfulness in seeing to the defense of his people. The theme of praise is seen in three sections: I. Vv. 1-3 A Hymn of Praise II. Vv. 4-9 The Reasons for Praise III. Vv. 10-12 A Call to PraiseAll mankind, and especial...

January 14, 2024 - In Psalm 74, the church sees the human perspective of Israel after the destruction of Solomon’s temple.

January 7, 2024 - We begin the new year with a new series studying through the third book of Psalms (73-89). Psalm 73 follows the classical biblical pattern of experiential religion— I. The idealistic—Surely God is good to those who are pure in heart II. The realistic—But we don’t always feel pure in heart. III. The optimistic—the best for Christians is yet to come. For more information about Heri...
