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 27 - Living By Faith

Psalm 27 is a beautiful and instructive hymn about the life of faith. As Christians we are to live our lives Coram Deo, or before the face of God. What this psalm contains is practical advice on what that looks like, how the life of faith is lived out.


The hymn David writes is full of beautiful lines and stanzas. Verse 1, above is an example. There is also this about worship:

One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.

David also addresses the trials and struggles of life. When they come will you stand, or will your faith waver? Does faith in God mean that he will always deliver us? What does that deliverance look like? All this and more is addressed in the psalm and in the sermon I preached from it.

I hope you will take the time and listen. Just click the link below and a new window will open in your browser where you will find an MP3 recording of the sermon. It was preached at the Winnsboro Reformed Church on Sunday, August 21, 2016. I hope it will prove to be a blessing.
