01/23/2022 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Worship Leader: Matt Carter
Speaker: Rick Renninger
Title: The Friendship of the LORD is for Those Who Fear Him
Scripture: Psalm 25

Notes:

Psalm 25 uses Chiasm (a literary device in which a sequence of ideas is presented and then repeated in reverse order)

Creative outline that shows the Chiasm of Psalm 25 as a flight of stairs going up and then down:

D. Pardon my iniquity
(v. 11)

C. Growing confidence C. Growing confidence
(v. 8-10) (v. 12-14)

B. Wanting insight and recalling B. Still waiting in faith but with
the LORD’s faithfulness increased distress
(v. 4-7) (v. 15-18)

A. Waiting on Yahweh in confident A. Waiting on Yahweh in the
trust in the face of his enemies face of his enemies
(v. 1-3) (v. 19-22)

We can also view it more like a ladder:

A. Waiting on Yahweh with confident trust in the face of his enemies (v. 1-3)
B. Wanting insight and recalling the LORD's faithfulness (v. 4-7)
C. Growing confidence (v. 8-10)
D. Pardon my iniquity (v. 11)
C. Growing confidence (v. 12-14)
B. Still waiting in faith but with increased distress (v. 15-18)
A. Waiting on Yahweh in the face of his enemies (v. 19-22)
