As we get things started today, you might find your place in Psalm forty-two. It’s there we find a twofold remedy for discouragement. The first is obvious – that is to talk to God. And the second is not so obvious! In fact it may even surprise you – but it’s to talk to yourself.  You could sum it all up in a word – hope!

If you’re like me you never tire of hearing how gracious and loving our God is. It’s encouraging in two ways: receiving God’s grace and love and sharing it with others. That’s our theme on today’s program. In Psalm forty David wants everyone to know of God’s goodness. He’s experienced it – and wants everyone to know about it!

We continue our study of the Psalms today.  And on today’ broadcast we’ll be looking at Psalm forty. You’ve no doubt heard it said, “God is seldom early but He is never late” Someone else said, “when God seems late – remember He’s worth the wait.” We’ll be reminded today that God in His perfect timing answers our prayers and delivers us.

frames today’s talk around Psalms thirty-eight and thirty-nine. If you were with us last time, you’ll remember David is describing God’s chastisement. It’s painful but necessary. We begin our study today with David – longing not for relief – but for God – who knows his circumstances and need.

. One of the greatest things about the Bible is the way that the accounts of these men and women translate so well into modern times. God certainly intended us to use His word that way. Today pastor Al takes us to the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey.

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
