Even though kids are heading back to school, we are going to keep digging into the Psalms of Psummer. This Labor Day weekend we’ll look at the labors and the laws of God and find that they are sweet!
Psalm 19:7-11 (NLT)
7 The instructions of the LORD are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The commandments of the LORD are right,
bringing joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are clear,
giving insight for living.
9 Reverence for the LORD is pure,
lasting forever.
The laws of the LORD are true;
each one is fair.
10 They are more desirable than gold,
even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
even honey dripping from the comb.
11 They are a warning to your servant,
a great reward for those who obey them.

PLEASE NOTE: at the 7:30 mark, there was an issue with the recording and a brief portion of Pastor Aaron's message is missing.
It’s a challenge to relate to a God we cannot see. The psalms give us a wealth of images to help us. David, in particular, would have no trouble answering questions like, “Who is God? What is He like?” By looking at David’s answers, we will learn and grow in our relationship with God.
Draw a box around each word and phrase that describes what God is like.
Psalm 18:1-6 (NLT) 1 I love you, LORD; you are my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. 3 I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. 4 The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me. 5 The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. 6 But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.
Circle each word and phrase that describes what God does.
Psalm 18:30-36 (NLT) 30 God’s way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 31 For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? 32 God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. 33 He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. 34 He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. 35 You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. 36 You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.
BIG IDEA: The psalms teach us to praise God for who He is, and to thank Him for what He does.

God’s plan to save humanity from our sin is not limited to a particular country or ethnicity. In fact, we have clear instructions to reach across boundaries to share His blessings. Dig into Psalm 67 and enjoy the stories of our blessings pouring across borders.
Psalm 67 (NASB)
1 God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.
2 That Your way may be known on the earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the peoples with uprightness
And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.
5 Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
6 The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, blesses us.
7 God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

Sometimes we have a hard time seeing past ourselves, as if we are the center of the universe. Other times, we seem insignificant when we consider the scope of history and the enormity of God’s creation. Reading through the Psalms helps us gain perspective on who we are in this great big universe.
Psalm 8:1-9 (NLT)
O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are people that you should think about them,
mere mortals that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

The world tells us to compare ourselves to an artificial standard of perfection, our modern day idols. Scripture tells us that only God can judge us and our motives in our hearts. How do we strive to improve ourselves without worshipping perfection or falling victim to jealousy?
Galatians 6:4 (NLT) Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
Compare yourself to NOBODY.
Satisfaction is a JOB WELL DONE.

Great art is like a finely cut gem; as you look at it from different angles and in different light, the gem sparkles and shines in new and beautiful ways. The Psalms are great art. They are songs inspired by God, and they have been passed on to us to shine in our hearts and minds in new and beautiful ways. Pick them up and experience the Psalms of Psummer!
BIG IDEA:
Your response to Christ determines the ultimate punctuation of your life on earth: WHAT JOY ? or WHAT JOY ! .
Psalm 1
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the LORD,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
4 But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6 For the LORD watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
Psalm 2:10-12 (NLT)
10 Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Hear stories of how God was at work in New Day’s key service initiative. We’ll take a closer look at Psalm 146, a great song of celebration.
Psalm 146:1-2 (NLT)
1 Praise the LORD! [or “Hallelujah!”]
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.
6 He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.
7 He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.
The LORD loves the godly.
9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
10 The LORD will reign forever.
He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations.
Praise the LORD!

Music has power. Poetry captures and communicates heartfelt emotions. Psalms is the songbook of the Bible, and it has helped people connect with God and with each other for thousands of years. So, put a Psalm in your heart this Psummer!
Psalms of Psummer: Live It Out (Psalm 15)
Psalm 15:1-5 (NLT)
1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
3 Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
4 Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the LORD,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5 Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.
BIG IDEA: Jesus gets us IN; this is what it looks like to LIVE IT OUT.

Life is full of irony. When we are young, we feel like we know everything, but really we know almost nothing. As we grow older, we learn so much more, but we realize more and more how limited we are. “If I had known then what I know now…” We are blessed to hear life lessons from an octogenarian (a fancy word for “eighty-something”) who spend nearly half his life chasing after happiness from the world, and the other half studying Scripture, following Christ, and teaching others to find fulfillment in doing the same.

God is love (1 John 4:8,16). So love is more than just an emotion, but sometimes we make so much more of it that we lose our grip on how love feels. God gave us feelings for a reason, including love. This is the finale to our series on "Going Through the eMotions.”
