Psalm 16:1-11

This sermon kicks off our series into Philippians. But before we get there we need to ponder who we are as everyday disciples. As such we are created to enjoy God and from that place of joy progress in the faith. Paul will specifically highlight this in Philippians. So to set the stage for this beautiful relationship we begin with one of the most glorious places where we see joy in God on display—Psalm 16. From this text we learned this main idea—When I believe there is no good apart from the LORD and trust him as my all-satisfying portion, I discover the fullness of joy in the LORD.

Psalm 28:1-9

Have you ever felt like God was not hearing your prayer? That's a devastating feeling? But lave you ever felt like God was not hearing your prayer while you were obeying His command to wait on Him? That makes the silence even harder? If you've ever been here, then you already understand why Psalm 28 follows Psalm 27. Psalm 27 ends with one of the Bible's clearest commands—“wait for the LORD!” But when Psalm 28 opens, David cries—"O LORD, my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me." Apparently David has been waiting. And he’s been waiting long enough that it now feels as though God has gone silent. The question is—What do you do when it feels like God is silent while you faithfully wait? When God seems silent in times of waiting, I can trust He still hears my prayers.
