Autumn 2024 – the King and I

“Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.”

In our preaching cycle we use the Autumn term, leading up to Christmas, to look up at the character and person of God.

CH Spurgeon considered Psalm 103 to have all-embracing scope – celebrating the whole praise-worthiness of God.  He wrote, “There is too much in the Psalm for a thousand pens to write, it is one of those all-comprehending Scriptures which is a Bible in itself, and it might alone almost suffice for the hymn-book of the church.”

That has been my personal experience of this Psalm too.

In searching for a single part of scripture that paints a comprehensive picture of our God, it’s hard to imagine a better text for our sermon series.

We will usually spend 2 weeks on each passage. This will mean we have one all-age talk and one full sermon on each. The sermons are uploaded here to listen again or to use if you were away.
