SERMON OUTLINE

A BRIGHT LAMP

Psalm 119

Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm in the Psalter. It has 22 sections (one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet).

The Psalm’s main theme is delighting in God’s word. There is an unofficial refrain that repeats the idea of delighting in God’s word (Psalm 119:16, 24, 47, 70, and 92).

Some tips to grow in our delight in God’s word:

1. Have some “epistemic humility”

2. Keep the narrative of the Bible in mind

3. Trust the trajectory of the Bible

4. Allow the Bible to guide your journey

Daily Dwell: August 3-9

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” - Psalm 119:105

Grow in grace. Live your faith. Become more like Jesus.

THE CHURCH: Local

Roots, Global Mission

AUGUST 3, 10 AND 17 | 9:45AM

FELLOWSHIP HALL

How did the Church begin, and where is it headed today? What does it mean to be part of a local church in America—and how do we relate to Christians worshipping in underground gatherings across the world?

This 3-week Sunday morning class explores the Church from three angles: its historical roots, its American expressions, and its global realities—especially where believers endure persecution for their faith. In our final session, we’ll hear from Rev. Dr. Sasan Tavassoli, a former Shi’ite Muslim from Iran who came to faith in Christ through American missionaries. Now a Presbyterian pastor and missionary with the Outreach Foundation, he brings decades of experience serving the Iranian and Persian-speaking Church and will offer a powerful firsthand look at the global Body of Christ.

Whether you’re new to the faith or a longtime member, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the Church as a living, global Body shaped by Scripture, history, culture, and the Spirit of God. Join us for an honest, hopeful look at how Christ’s Church has taken shape through the centuries—and what it means for us today.
