Psalm 49-51 "The Riddle on a Lyre"

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Andy Falleur explores Psalms 49-51, uncovering deep truths about life, death, and our ultimate hope in God. Key points include:

1. The universal problem of death and the meaninglessness of life without God (Psalm 49)

2. God's desire for genuine fellowship and obedience, not just outward religious observance (Psalm 50)

3. David's heartfelt repentance and plea for forgiveness after his sin with Bathsheba (Psalm 51)

4. The assurance of eternal life for believers in Jesus Christ

The New Testament gives us three guarantees of redemption for Christians:

1. The promise of eternal life in Jesus (1 John 5:11-12)

2. The gift of the Holy Spirit as a deposit (Ephesians 1:13-14)

3. God's loving discipline as proof of our adoption (Hebrews 12:7-8)

This message reminds us that our only hope in the face of death and meaninglessness is found in God's redemption through Jesus Christ. It encourages listeners to examine their hearts, repent of sin, and find joy in their salvation.
