The Pure Pursuit of Purity
Psalm 119:9-16 Psalm 119, go ahead and turn there in your Bibles. If you remember from last time as we were getting into Psalm 119, we’ve already done the Aleph stanza. Tonight, we’re going to get into the Beth stanza. So the first eight verses we’ve covered. And hopefully, we’ll cover verses 9 to 16 tonight. And if you remember from last time, as we were kind of introducing Psalm 119, we said that these first two stanzas, the Aleph…
Reasons Jesus Rejoices, Part 2
Luke 10:21 Luke, chapter 10, continuing the study that we began last week of the reasons that Jesus rejoices, we came out of 30 reasons why we rejoice, and then we entered into reasons that Jesus rejoices. And so that’s Luke 10:21. And today, today is a study in Christology, a deep and high Christology, an understanding of the study of Christ and what the Scripture says the truth is about Christ.

The Lover of God and His Word
Psalm 119 Charles Spurgeon related a story of someone who was about to be hanged, and he made a shrewd use of Psalm 119. Here’s the quote: “When upon the scaffold, the prisoner availed himself of the custom of the times, which permitted the condemned to choose a psalm to be sung. He selected the 119th Psalm.

He’d been training them for many months, probably a year or more, throughout Galilee; and…
