Psalm 25: For Your Name’s Sake, Teach Me, Redeem Israel -- 2019/10/07 - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Kevin Parviz, pastor of Congregation Chai v’Shalom in St. Louis, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Psalm 25.

“Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.” This acrostic psalm points to how vast God’s work is. Even though David was king over Israel, he was always humble to learn, and he doesn’t ask God to look at his works and accomplishments. He asks God to forget about the things he’s done and instead only to remember His gracious love for him.In the midst of trials and treachery, possibly at the hands of his own son Absolom, David meditates on his standing before God, not men. His confidence that God will rescue him is rooted in God Himself, because God will forgive him for the sake of Israel. And God redeems Israel for the sake of His own name. God redeems us because we are baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When you boil it all down, that’s who we really are.
