Do you know the Truth? part 1

June 8, 2020

As we spend time with the Lord in his Word - we are directed to passages that may have special meaning for us at the moment. Guidance for the day, comfort to get through a trial - or a glimpse into the future that we are promised. Psalm seventy-nine speaks extensively about all the benefits of knowing God and knowing and following His precepts.

If you’re a parent - particularly if your children are young - you know all about the importance of patience. You can’t expect a two year old to take care of all of their daily needs so you patiently take care of them until they become self-sufficient. In much the same way, God has been patient with man. Despite our sin, He still takes care! That’s our topic today on The Dwelling Place

 When you find yourself in times of trouble, do you remember to seek the Lord’s guidance? Is it the first thing you think to do? That’s a real mark of an authentic Christian. Our scripture text for today’s program is Psalm seventy-eight.

Pastor Al begins a study in Psalm seventy-eight today. It’s a Psalm of Asaph that expresses frustration with God’s people, as they continually show an inability to trust God, despite the evidence before them. Obviously, this is a message that is very relevant today. We see it all around us - the obvious evidence of God’s presence, and the obvious rejection of that evidence.

One thing we can rely on to always tell the truth is the bible, and we can always rely on God to be there when we need Him. That’s the theme of Al’s study today in Psalm seventy-seven.

Our relationship with God is much like an instruction sheet - there are certain steps we must take to not only establish that relationship, but also to maintain it. And that takes disipline. Our scripture text is Psalm seventy-seven.

As we continue dealing with COVID-19 and all of its ramifications, we see powerful men in some very high places making decisions that greatly affect us. No matter how much power a man might have, it cannot match the power God possesses. That’s Asaph’s message in Psalm seventy six.

Al Pittman is taking us through the Psalms, and today we are going to finish our look at Psalm seventy-five, and begin a look at Psalm seventy-six. These Psalms of Asaph are Psalms of praise to God for delivering His people from trouble, and holding their enemies accountable.

With all the uncertainty of the times we live in, has there ever been a more important time than now for people to come to Jesus Christ? One thing is for certain as we make our way through life, we will face times of testing, and the unsaved around us will be watching to see how we react. That refining fire isn’t always fun is it?

Today we stop once again at Psalm seventy-four. This Psalm of Asaph provides a good backdrop to a look at what the world really needs more than anything else. What the world needs to solve her problems is a sharp turn away from destruction and toward God. We see sin all around us and we wonder why God doesn’t act quickly.

As we grow older, our patience grows and patience is an essential part of being a mature person. It’s also important for a prosperous relationship with God, because God’s timing is perfect, and man’s patience is not always there. Al Pittman’s study today is in Psalms seventy-four - a Psalm of Asaph that extolls the virtues of patience when facing trials.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
