Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Psalm 22 - The Psalm of the Forsaken

I preached two sermons from this psalm. Both are short. The first was twenty minutes, the second was twenty-two. The first sermon covered the first twenty-one verses and the second one covered the last ten. Both are linked below.

Psalm 22 is an amazing account of the crucifixion of Christ, written through David's experience of feeling forsaken of God. It starts out with Christ's famous first cry from the cross and ends with a proclamation of the world-wide future effects of what he accomplished there. I called the two sermons "The Agony of the Forsaken" and "The Victory of the Forsaken."


I hope that as you listen to the sermons the Spirit of God will work graciously in you, turning your heart toward him, and inspiring true worship. God bless you.
