Affection Determines Direction // Psalm 1// Watermark Community Church

A new year is a great time for a new path. From Psalm 1, Marriage & Family Director, Chris Sherrod, shows how God’s people can experience God’s blessing in Christ in 2024. This whole Psalm is a contrast (Psalm 1:1-3, Psalm 1:4-6), even from its first and last words (blessed/perish). The contrast is ultimately between those who trust and love God (the root), displayed by their commitment to His Word (the fruit); and those who trust and love self, as shown by their commitment to their own wisdom. The big idea from this Psalm is: Our affections establish our direction, which results in our destination.
