Psalm 16: Turning to the Psalms When Words Fail / Psalmify Week 7 / Marek Kowalsky

Renew Communications Director Marek Kowalsky continues our series Psalmify, focusing in on Psalm 16, under the title, Turning to the Psalms When Words Fail. In this exploration of the Psalms, Marek invites us to rediscover their profound relevance in our prayer lives. Just as mixtapes were once a labor of love, the Psalms are a carefully curated collection of spiritual songs that can deepen our connection with God. We're encouraged to use Psalm 16 as a guide, warming up our hearts when we're not 'feeling it,' finding prompts for prayer when we're unsure what to say, and allowing its rich language to give voice to our deepest spiritual longings. The message reminds us that prayer isn't just about words; it's about presence. David's intimate relationship with God in Psalm 16 models a form of contemplative prayer where we simply rest in God's presence, experiencing the 'fullness of joy' that comes from this deep connection.

ABOUT THE SERIES "Psalmify" is our summer sermon series inspired by the beloved book of Psalms. Just like a carefully curated playlist on Spotify, we've handpicked a selection of Psalms to guide, inspire, and uplift you throughout the season. Each week, a different leader or elder from our church community will delve into a specific Psalm, sharing unique insights and powerful messages that resonate with our lives today. Join us as we explore the timeless wisdom, heartfelt prayers, and profound worship found in the Psalms, enriching our faith and deepening our connection with God. Don't miss a single week of this spiritually refreshing journey!

We meet at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings at Cineplex Cinemas, 1175 Maple Ave, Milton. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
