Sermon: "The Enduring Human Cry (Psalm 13)" by Randy Roberts 
Part 3 - Psalms for the Playlist of Your Life

Pastoral Welcome: Calvin Thomsen

Children’s Feature: Rob Mohr

Scripture Reading: Psalm 13:1–6, TNIV Jeffrey Tan, Emily Tan

INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON
Today we continue our current sermon series, “Psalms for the Playlist of Your Life.” I hope you are already re-discovering the reason why so many people for so long have loved the Psalms so much! They intersect with real life in ways that are deeply moving.
The psalm we turn to today – Psalm 13 – is a prayer quite unlike too many of our modern-day prayers. It is brief! It is real and authentic. It gives voice to hard questions. It urgently calls on God for answers. And then – after all that! – it ends in praise! What a prayer! Would that our prayers were more authentic and humble.
 
Maybe you will find today – as I have in the preparation of the sermon – that this psalm moves up on your list of favorite psalms. May God bless you as we study it together!

MEDITATION
In prayer, we are aware that God is in action and that when the circumstances are ready, when others are in the right place, and when our hearts are prepared, he will call us into the action. Waiting in prayer is a disciplined refusal to act before God acts. – Eugene Peterson

Second only to suffering, waiting may be the greatest teacher and trainer in godliness, maturity, and genuine spirituality most of us ever encounter. – Richard Hendrix
