Songs of the Kingdom: Psalm 110.
More than any other, Psalm 110 reveals the identity of the Messiah.
Jesus is the fulfillment of David’s prophecy in this psalm: Jesus has completed the work God assigned him setting us right with God, Jesus is Lord over all that we ever face, Jesus is our eternal priest caring and interceding for us, and Jesus is extending His kingdom over evil with us as His willing army in the fight.

Songs of the Kingdom: Psalm 19
Psalm 19 (NIV); Psalm 19 (Message)
The Psalms don't just tell us about God—they teach us how to speak to him. Psalm 19 invites us into an ancient prayer of orientation, that begins with the skies, delights in instruction, and ends with a simple prayer of surrender.
But to hear it well, we have to step outside our modern assumptions about science, faith, and religious rules—and learn to see the world a little more like ancient Israel did. It's an invitation to slow down, recover wonder, and allow the Holy Spirit to write God's ways on our hearts.

Songs of the Kingdom: Psalm 8
God of Humanity
The Bible answers the fundamental question of what it means to be human, by saying: it means to be in relationship with God.
It's less about who we are and more about whose we are. When we start with God, we experience life as it’s supposed to be lived: we see that God is enormous and powerful; we are small; our worship shuts the mouth of all that comes against us; God cares about the smallest details of our lives; and in our weakness he makes us strong. We come to God as we are, and he meets us there.

Songs of the Kingdom: Psalm 96.
At bread, we value the manifest presence of God above all else. Worship is essential for that.
Since the beginning God's people have sung songs of worship. We are commanded to do so; it's who we were created to be; and He alone is worthy of it. Worship will always be the ultimate goal for humanity. So we're learning that as we bring our full selves- body, mind and spirit- to worship, trusting in the cross of Christ, we draw close to God, and He to us. Our worship welcomes in the King of the Kingdom. And wherever He is, his Kingdom comes.
