Sermon Outline

Summer in the Psalms | Psalm 84
Pastor Clark Pfaff

 

Key Point: Focus your life on the Lord!

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! 2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. (Psalm 84:1-4, NIV)

Key Point: Find your strength in the Lord!

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.  7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. 8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob. (Psalm 84:5-8, NIV)

Key Point: Put your trust in the Lord!

9 Look on our shield, O God;look with favor on your anointed one. 10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere;I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God thandwell in the tents of the wicked. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.(Psalm 84:9-12, NIV)
