The Book of Psalms - Week 7 - (8/3/2025)

In this powerful exploration of Psalm 101, we delve into the importance of integrity in our spiritual lives. King David's commitment to walking a blameless path serves as both an inspiration and a challenge for us today. The psalm emphasizes the need to pursue holiness, reject evil, and surround ourselves with faithful people. However, we're reminded that this pursuit isn't about our own strength, but about relying on God's grace. The message draws a striking parallel between navigating life and using a compass - even a small compromise can lead us far off course over time. This insight encourages us to regularly check our spiritual 'compass' against God's Word. As we reflect on our own lives, we're called to consider: Are we living with the same integrity in private as we do in public? How can we lead with righteousness in our spheres of influence? This message challenges us to live holy lives in the presence of a holy God, empowered not by our own efforts, but by Christ who leads, cleanses, and strengthens us. This sermon was first preached August 3, 2025 at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell.
