Psalm 28 - When God is Silent, Keep Praying

-
When God tends to seem silent or He isn't answering our prayers, we get very discouraged. We feel like God has become distant. We've all heard of or known someone that has walked away from faith because life became unstable, prayers weren't answered, and God “was nowhere to be found.”

In Psalm 28, we see David gives the answer: keep praying! When God is silent, cry out to Him. David said “My Rock, do not be silent.”

  Happy March, everyone! Whatever that means. We're five weeks away from our Easter celebration, so just be preparing your hearts for that. That’s really what the Lenten journey is about—it’s a preparation time for us to ready our hearts and our spiritual walk so we can truly gather and celebrate the wonderful resurrection of Jesus. We're kind of “marching” through Psalm 91. We began last week with the first two verses, and today we’ll continue with verses 3 and 4.

I don’t know if you have those in your own life, but there are scriptures that feel like home or like a fortress. Whe...

  Well, over the last few weeks we have been on a journey together talking about holiness—the reality that God is holy and that He has designed His people to be holy as well, to reflect Him in everything we do. My hope today is that each of us would take a kind of personal inventory and ask ourselves: Is my life a reflection of Jesus in every way? That really is the goal of the Christian life—that day by day we would look more and more like Jesus and that our lives would reflect Him. This morning we find ourselves in 1 Peter 1:15–16 , which will serve as the foundation for what we talk about today. We’ll move through several other passages as well, but this is our starting point. In this opening section of the letter, Peter is encouraging the believers he is writing to live holy lives—to be different, to be set apart, to be unlike the world around them and instead reflect the character of God in everything they do. Peter writes, “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy i...
