February 2012 – Page 2

Now is the time to sign up for this year’s Lenten Devotionals!

The forty days of Lent begin on Ash Wednesday, February 22nd and continue until April 8th, Easter Sunday. This year’s devotional series for Lent will prepare your heart as you walk the steps that Jesus walked and sing the songs He would have sung on His pilgrimage to the Passover.

Just as stereo speakers give depth to music, we will let Psalms 120-134, The Songs of Ascents, speak to us and inspire us deeply as we see how they applied during Jesus’ journey “Up to Jerusalem.”

“As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,

Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.”

(Luke 9:51)

To sign up, enter your e-mail address on my Home page sidebar and devotionals will be sent to your e-mail during the forty days of Lent.

Message: “Our God of Hope” by Pastor Rick Sutton, Lakeview Presbyterian Church, Vernon Hills, IL

NIV Psalm 42:1 For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and 6 my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon– from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8 By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me– a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?” 10 My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men. 2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? 3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. 4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Benediction
