Season 11 | Edition 46
May 28, 2026
SUMMARY: This sermon presents Psalm 67 as a profound call to Christian mission, rooted in divine grace and the universal scope of God’s redemptive purposes. Centered on the Aaronic Benediction, it emphasizes that God’s blessings are not for personal gain but to make His saving ways known among all nations. The psalmist’s longing for global worship and justice reflects the church’s divine mandate to be faithful witnesses, reflecting God’s glory through both word and life. The preacher underscores that salvation is not found in political or social reform, but in the transformative power of the gospel, calling believers to prayerful, intentional evangelism within their spheres of influence. Ultimately, the passage affirms that the church’s existence is purposeful: to be a light to the nations, so that all peoples may fear and praise God.
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
2 that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!
6 The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!
(Psalm 67:1-7, ESV)
