Sunday in Retrospect

Somehow, I missed chronicling my last Lord's Day events.

It was a very hectic weekend, to say he least.  This was my sermon outline for the morning, at the Mt. Salem Church....


When God Meets Us in Tight Places
Psalm 3:1-8

CIT: God's resources are available and sufficient in life's moments of tension and difficulty.

I. David cried out his lament to God.  (David's Charge) Psalm 3:1-2

II. David made a strong confession of trust. (David's Confession) Psalm 3:3-4

David strongly confesses 4 important truths:

When no one would help him; God was his shield.

2) When David had nothing to treasure, God was his glory.

3) When there was no one to encourage him, God Himself would encourage him and lift his head.

4) When David cried out God heard him from His holy hill.

III. David’s faith was determined. (David's Courage) Psalm 3:5-6

IV. David continued to lift his plea to God. (David's Cry) Psalm 3:7-8


In the afternoon p, we journeyed to the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, in Goliad, Texas, where Rev. Melvin Bedford serves as Pastor.  The church celebrated its church anniversary, and his was also the 85th homecoming of the church.  My paternal family is from Goliad, Texas and, needless to say, I have a few family members who are a part of his historical church.  It was good to see many relatives and familiar faces.  For the afternoon, I shared from Psalm 118.  The Lord was kind!
