The people of Israel would have likely sung Psalm 127 on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem for a religious holiday. It serves as a way to realign their perspective as they prepare their hearts to worship God. As we head into our own holiday season, we need to allow the principles in this psalm to realign our own perspective regarding our pursuits, and help us remember the source of all the blessings we receive. In Psalm 127, the psalmist gives us two contrasting truths that establish God’s sovereignty in man’s pursuits:

1. The vanity of striving apart from God (vv. 1–2)
2. The blessing of rewards provided by God (vv. 3–5)

Songs we will sing this week include the following, provided in a Spotify playlist here, or a YouTube playlist here: 

1. All Creatures of Our God and King
2. Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners
3. How Deep the Father's Love for Us
4. Jesus, Thank You
5. The Goodness of Jesus

Text: Romans 3:19–20
Title: The Way to the Righteousness God Will Receive

How can one stand before the holiness of God, perfectly accepted? The answer to that question is given in our verses this Lord’s Day. Ignorant of the righteousness of God, sinful men attempt to establish their own. That kind of righteousness will forever be unacceptable to God. There is a righteousness, however, that is freely given by God. It is freely given, perfectly acceptable to God, and in complete accordance with God’s justice. How that righteousness is offered and received will be our focus this Sunday.

Text: 1 Timothy 6:3–10
Title: “The Distinctiveness of a Man of God”

When Paul refers to Timothy as a man of God, he does so in contrast to another kind of man. False teachers are a very real danger to the church, and Paul says we can recognize them by their character. This Lord’s Day, we will listen to what Paul tells us about false teachers, learn what characterizes a man of God in contrast, and be exhorted to pursue that distinctive pathway by which God will be glorified in His people.
