Summary
Psalm 1 contrasts two paths: the blessed life rooted in God like a tree planted by streams of water, versus the wicked path that leads nowhere. The sermon explores how daily delight in God and meditation on His character—not rules or circumstances—anchors the soul and produces lasting fruit, while worldly pursuits leave a person restless and ultimately swept away.
Highlights
There is a picture at the center of your soul of what the good life looks like, and that picture shapes the entire course of your life.
Sin has no desire to stay in a corner, but sin's desire is to have you in your entirety, and there's a trajectory to sin.
The blessed life is the planted life—joy is found in where we stay, not where we go or what we build or what we achieve.
