Show Notes
Psalm 5 is David's morning prayer of preparation for worship, driven not by routine but by a deep awareness of God's blazing holiness and the sobering reality that no sinner can stand in His presence. Pastor Gordon challenges listeners to examine whether they truly grasp why they come to church, arguing that lifeless worship stems from a failure to feel the weight of sin and God's just wrath against it. The psalm resolves in joyful hope: those who come broken and trusting in God's mercy — ultimately fulfilled in Christ's atoning work — are covered by His favor and shielded like a canopy, finding genuine strength and joy in worship.

Do vs. Done: The Law/Gospel Distinction with Dr. R. Scott Clark - Part 2
Rev. Chris Gordon and Dr. R. Scott Clark continue their conversation on the distinction between law and gospel, arguing that the issue is not only doctrine but tone. Preach the law in full force, they say, and then send burdened sinners to Christ without conditions.
Partakers of Grace - Phil 1
Paul's affection for the church at Philippi confronts the modern habit of treating the church as a product to consume. The believer's bond to a local congregation rests not on personal preference but on the shared grace of the gospel and the God who finishes what he begins.

Whom Shall I Fear?
David's confidence in the Lord is not theory but experience — a life of deliverances read backward. Psalm 27 moves from unshakable joy to raw lament and back to a promise: wait on the Lord, and He will strengthen your heart.
