Learning from the Psalms (1)
Wednesday, 10 June, 2026
Pastor Mark Hogan emphasizes that the Psalms provide fitting words for repentance, thanksgiving, and persecution, noting that even Jesus likely prayed through them on the cross. The core message focuses on four common petitions found throughout the Psalms, termed the four I's, which believers should implement in their private devotions. The first is Invocation, prayers calling upon God to hear and listen, which express humility, neediness, and dependence on God's attention. The second is Instruction, repeated requests for God to teach, lead, and guide, which function as prayers for sanctification and discipleship rather than mere intellectual knowledge. The third is Intervention, petitions for God to arise and act in times of distress, often phrased as How long or Arise O Lord, demonstrating reliance on God's power to save and defend. The fourth is Imploration, asking for God's mercy and grace despite unworthiness. Hogan challenges the audience to root themselves in this biblical language, using the Psalms as a manual to shape their prayers so that when they speak to God, they are speaking His Word back to Him, ensuring their prayer lives reflect true dependence and biblical priorities.
