The Way of Life

“Why do the nations rage?” That is the haunting question that begins Psalm 2. The wicked rulers imagine casting off God’s reign as true freedom – as liberty. Still today our society looks to “tear off the chains” of Christianity and “throw off” the morality of yesteryear. They call it freedom. But in truth, opposing God’s will and reign is bondage. True liberty consists of a living relationship with God, taking refuge in him, and embracing Jesus – God’s anointed.

From Series: "On the Road"

The Bible begins with a journey. “By faith Abraham…set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tent…he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” (Hebrews 11:8–10, CSB) Abraham never found the place for which his heart longed and his soul yearned while he was alive. Life is a journey. Each oasis we find in the desert ultimately fails to satisfy. We live in tents…but the city we desire remains just out of reach. We’ll going to look at the Psalms in order to investigate what we need to reach that city.
