Anyone who's been a Christian for any length of time knows that a relationship with God does not mean a sudden end to life's problems. As a matter of fact, we know that sometimes quite the opposite is true. Trials and afflictions come our way, but how do we deal with them? Turning our problems over to an almighty God, that's what we'll talk about today on Hope From the Word. It's great to have you along on this Wednesday. Today we'll again open our Bibles to the book of Psalms, as we look at Psalm eighty-nine. Life isn't always easy, but we always have a wonderful, loving and powerful God to turn to. Where do you turn in times of trial? Here's Bill Luebkemann with today's study.

Today we continue our journey through God's word with a stop in Psalm eighty-four. Just about everyone likes music to one degree or another. Tastes vary, to be sure, but music is a part of almost everyone's life. Poetry goes right along with music, and that brings us to the Psalms. Wonderful poetry, and wonderful lyrics, and all aimed at praising God. It doesn't get any better than that. Here's Pastor Bill...

Today we'll return to our series in the Psalms as we look at Psalms eighty-four. If you're frustrated with the things you see around you such as, wicked people prospering and good people suffering, then you're in need of some encouragement; and this Psalm is one of the very best in that respect.

The twenty-third Psalm is perhaps the best-known passage in the entire Bible, yet today we'll learn once again that it's easy to simply recite the verses and lose sight of the lessons. Welcome to today's broadcast, as our teacher, Bill Luebkemann continues our study thru the Bible. We all have probably played the game “Follow the Leader” as children, and it might surprise you to hear that we're still playing it as adults! Of course, not all of us are following the same leader. If we allow the Lord to be our Shepherd, to be the one who leads us down the path of life, then we can be assured of ending up a winner! Here's Pastor Bill...

The dictionary describes contentment as desiring no more than what one already has. Charles Spurgeon put it this way. “Some people are never content with their lot, no matter what happens. Clouds and darkness are over their heads whether it rains or shines. To them, every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.” What a challenge it is for us to learn contentment! Today on Hope From the Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann continues his series in the Psalms as a part of our Thru the Bible study. Contentment is our topic as we begin; the reference is the beloved 23rd Psalm. Here's Pastor Bill...

You can probably think of a person or two in your life who regularly bless you. It's almost always because they have a selfless, giving attitude. Today on Hope From the Word, we're going to once again be reminded that the very best way to glorify God and to serve Him is to get our eyes off of ourselves and onto God. We're studying the Psalms right now, as we continue thru the Bible. In fact, we just began the Psalms last Friday. Join us as we bring you a vivid picture of the Blessed Man, from Psalm one.
