This week we examined Psalm 75, a psalm of thanksgiving that praises God for His perfect and righteous judgment. While the world often appears unstable and human judgments are frequently distorted by pride, self-interest, and limited understanding, God alone judges with perfect equity according to His timing. The psalm's powerful image of the cup of God's wrath points us ultimately to Jesus Christ, who willingly drank that cup on behalf of His people at the cross, satisfying God's justice so that repentant sinners might receive mercy and grace. Because Christ has borne judgment in our place and will one day return as the Faithful and True Judge, believers can praise God for His righteous judgment with confidence, humility, and gratitude.

In this Psalm we see a heartfelt lament in which Asaph cries out to God over the destruction of His sanctuary and the apparent triumph of the wicked. Though the psalm begins with grief and confusion, it anchors hope not in present circumstances but in God's sovereign rule over all creation and history. For believers today, Psalm 74 reminds us that even when the church faces opposition and God's purposes seem obscured, we can trust that Christ reigns as King and will ultimately vindicate His people. Our hope rests not in earthly strength, but in the unchanging character of our covenant God who will fulfill all His promises.

Psalm 73, written by Asaph, explores the crisis of faith caused by the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist almost abandons his faith out of envy but regains perspective by entering God's sanctuary, ultimately realizing the eventual downfall of evildoers and the eternal reward of the faithful.

The closing chapter of Micah shifts from the theme of impending judgment to a renewed focus on hope in the Lord’s leadership and provision. Though God’s people will endure and face judgment, their suffering will not last forever. God is compassionate and forgiving, and He promises to vindicate and restore the remnant who trust in Him. The hope that rises in Micah 7 ultimately points forward to the greater redemption found in Christ's sacrifice upon the cross.

In a divine courtroom setting, God indicts His people for injustice, idolatry, and covenant breaking. He tenderly reminds them of His past faithfulness to their nation—urging them to remember His goodness. Instead of repenting, the people offer escalating sacrifices to appease God. But the Lord declares what He truly requires: “to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” Amid widespread corruption and Micah’s lament over a broken society, the prophet chooses hope declaring “As for me, I will look to the Lord.”

Micah Chapters 4 and 5 bring hope for the promise of God’s future kingdom and the coming Shepherd-King Messiah born in Bethlehem, who will gather His people, reign in strength, and Himself become our peace. Despite the impending and righteous judgement for Israel’s sin, and idolatry, God’s redemptive plan continues to unfold – purifying and sanctifying His remnant people. As Christians, we thank God for his steadfast faithfulness and love – that He sent His son Jesus Christ to fulfill His plan and bring us restoration and reconciliation in Him.

Book of Micah, Chapter 3 delivers a sharp rebuke of Israel’s leaders—rulers, priests, and prophets—who are accused of exploiting the people rather than guiding them with justice. The rulers are described as devouring those they should protect, while prophets mislead for personal gain. Because of this corruption, Micah warns that God will withdraw guidance and judgment will come. The chapter ends with a stark prophecy: Jerusalem will be destroyed, reduced to ruins because of the leaders’ injustice and false confidence in divine protection.

In Micah 1, God’s just and holy character stands front and center. Both Israel and Judah had abandoned the Lord, chasing after sin and idolatry instead of remaining faithful to the one true God. Because of this rebellion, Micah delivers a sobering warning: God’s judgment will fall on the land as the rightful consequence of their sin. Micah 1 reminds us of God's character: He is perfectly holy, and no sin escapes His righteous wrath. 

Chapter 21 brings John's Gospel to a close by showing that the risen Christ not only saves but continues to shepherd, restore, and send His people. Jesus reveals Himself as the living Lord who meets His people in ordinary life, provides for them, and commissions them for His purposes. Christ redeems Peter and charges him with shepherding His flock. The chapter emphasizes that discipleship is personal, calling each believer to follow Christ with obedience regardless of others’ paths or outcomes.

In John 20, we see that the risen Jesus defines what it truly means to believe. Christ calls us to respond to His resurrection with genuine faith, and in that faith, we receive new life from Him. Belief is more than knowledge—it is a genuine relationship with the Triune God.

This week’s sermon on John 19 reminded us that the cross of Christ is not a tragedy, but a glorious triumph. In the moment when Jesus was rejected, mocked, and crucified, He was in fact accomplishing God’s sovereign plan of redemption in fulfillment of Scripture. At the center of the passage is His declaration, “It is finished,” proclaiming that the work of salvation is complete - sin atoned for, justice satisfied, and grace secured for all who believe. As followers of Christ, we are called to behold our King and rest fully in His finished work.

Psalm 84 teaches us not only that true happiness exists but shows us where to find it. It’s a psalm that’s especially helpful for saints who find themselves struggling to fight for joy. Even when life seems full of hardship and suffering, we can find strength in the joy of knowing Christ and belonging to him. For the blessed life is the life most satisfied in God. 

In John 18, we witness Christ wrongfully arrested, tried, and condemned. The perfect Son of God is handed over to those demanding His death. Yet, knowing the cross awaited Him, Jesus willingly embraced it, fully aware that through His sacrifice all who believe in Him would receive forgiveness and salvation. The cross stands as the climax of God’s redemptive plan.

The seventeenth chapter of John’s Gospel is often called the “High Priestly Prayer.” In this passage, Jesus prays to the Father shortly before going to the Garden of Gethsemane, where He will be arrested by a mob, beaten and tortured, and eventually nailed to a cross.
