"Your Love O Lord"
Marc Schelske
We close our teaching series on worship, emotional authenticity and the Psalms by looking at the text of Psalms 36. Here we see a joyful worship that comes from seeing God for who He is, and seeing ourselves for who we are.

"How Long, O Lord?"

Psalms 13 is a lament, the kind of worship that comes in desperation and despair. This isn't something we normally think of as worship. How do we come before God when we feel abandoned? The example in the Psalm gives us a starting point.

"A Shield About Me"
Marc Schelske
Continuing our series looking at the variety of worship and different emotional experiences in the Psalms. Today we look at Psalms 3, another song of Davids. This time he is crying out to God when the circumstances of his life are out of his control. Honestly expressing our fear and confusion to God is another kind of worship, where we trust Him with the details of our lives.

"Have Mercy, O My God"
Marc Schelske
Continuing our series looking at the variety of worship and different emotional experiences in the Psalms. Today we look at Psalms 51, David's song of confession after his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. Here we see that honest confession is also a kind of worship as we approach God truthfully, desiring restored intimacy with Him.

"Better Is One Day"

Today we introduce our new teaching series, "Life Songs." Many people assume that worship is what they see happening when Christians sing generally happy songs in church services. And so when their feelings don't align with those kinds of songs, they assume they can't worship, or they feel fake. But reading through the Psalms we discover that worship is much broader than that. In this series we'll look at a number of different Psalms that reveal the emotional breadth of true worship, where we can bring ourselves in whatever condition we are to God.
The first week we look at Psalms 84 and see an example of worship that is rooted in yearning to be in God's presence.
