Sermon: Psalm 1 | Two Ways to Live

1. Psalm 1 is an introduction to the rest of the book of Psalms.
2. Psalm 1 instructs us through the use of contrast.
3. The blessed person develops a pattern of omitting evil behaviours while committing good behaviours.
   • What the righteous person doesn’t do
     1. Walk in the counsel of the wicked
     2. Stand in the way of sinners
     3. Sit in the seat of scoffers
   • What the righteous person does
     1. Delight in the law of the Lord
     2. Meditate on the law day and night
4. The outcomes of a righteous life and an evil life are radically contrasted.
   • The righteous person is like a fruitful tree
   • The wicked person is like windblown chaff
5. The consequences of these two paths is clear.
   • The wicked will not stand in the judgment.
   • For the Lord knows the way of the righteous.
