“Contrasting the Righteous and the Wicked” Psalm 1:1-2:12

TRANSCRIPT

Date: May 19, 2024 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

For the next 12 Sunday evenings, (except June 2), I will preach a series of sermons on selected Psalms. Given the spiritual condition of today’s church, I believe God’s people need to spend much more time in the Psalms, for while the Psalms reveal both the intellectual and devotional aspects of our daily walk with the Lord, in the Psalms, we also learn how to connect with God through prayer, showing us how to pray, and then how to hear from God through His Word. This Sunday evening, I will cover Psalms 1 and 2 under the heading, “Contrasting the Righteous and the Wicked.” Beloved, even though these Psalms are 3,000 years old, it will seem as if we are reading today’s news.
