We continue in our sermon series, For Every Season, in Psalm 40 as we look at what it looks like to wait. When we find ourselves waiting on the Lord, what is our response?

PSALM 40:1-3

God bends down, listens, and lifts up those who are waiting.

What if your season of waiting allowed others to see what to do in their season of waiting?

PSALM 40:4-5

In a season of waiting, don’t fall for lies, and trust that you are in God’s view!

PSALM 40:13-15

There will always be detractors, accusers, and betrayers while you wait.

PSALM 40:16-17

A season of waiting is not a wasted season if the Lord becomes the greater reward than your desired outcome.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John covers Psalm 46 where we find God as our help in time of trouble and a fortress we can run to. Especially in a season of life filled with anxiety. And even now, as we reflect on the flooding in the Hill Country. God is our provision!

PSALM 46:1-11

Psalm 46:1 1. God is both awesome and accessible.

PSALM 46:2-3 2. Nothing - absolutely nothing - should move God’s people, who are under God’s hand, into fear!

PSALM 46:4-5 3. God has given ME provisions so that I will not drift into anxiousness.
> His Presence.
> His Help.
> His Holy Spirit. John 4:13-14

PSALM 46:6-7 4.The Lord, who is with ME, rules the world!

PSALM 46:8-9 5. Remember the vast capabilities of God! He is at work to bring ME peace

PSALM 46:10-11 6. Choose quietness over panic to hear again that God is with ME.

This week, we continued our sermon series For Every Season and took a look at Psalm 30. As Believers we are called to joy. But how do we do so even in seasons of tumult?

Joy is THE enthusiastic state of our soul as we believe that God is with us, for us, and in us!

Psalm 30:1-12

VV1-3 When we focus on our situations we become enslaved to them, when we focus on God we experience freedom!

VV4-5 the bent of God is grace and favor toward His children.

Weeping believer, there is certainty that joy is coming

VV6-7 Both poverty and prosperity are used for God’s purposes in our lives.

VV8-10 A Bold Prayer: God, extend my life so that I can praise You for more days!

VV 11-12 Joy is BOTH AN EXTERNAL AND AN eternal CONDITION FOR those who know God!
