 Today, I want us to address a mindset, a dark fear and anxiety, that has probably taken hold of most people here at some point in their walk with Christ. If this has not been a problem for you, it is only a matter of time before Satan attempts to use this tactic against you. Some of you, if you were honest, have been plagued by this issue for some time—having your joy, and maybe even your faith diminished greatly because of difficult events in our lives. Or sometimes, just because we watch the world around us, as we are trying to serve Christ. Many of us, if not all, experience times when we just don't think things are adding up the way they should be.
 Written over 2500 years ago, Psalm 73 is just as applicable to followers of Christ today as it was to Asaph, its author, when it was written. Today Pastor Doss switches things up a bit and we spend the morning examining a single chapter from start to finish: Psalm 73.
 Many of you probably know someone who is a, "Prepper". Someone who is preparing for economic, social, or military chaos in the future. In the world in which we now live, there is much logic behind this mindset. But as a Christian, the changes that are occurring in our society at this moment, and the increasing rate in which these changes are happening, will soon cause more of us to fall, in a much more serious way, than any event that prepping could prepare you to face.
 preppers (plural noun)

 The entire Old Testament was used through stories, prophecies, laws, instruction, poetry, etc. to tell about the coming of, give the details of, prepare the way for the Messiah. The New Testament is the story of that long awaited event as it actually unfolded (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), the story of how God worked to spread the message of His Son to the first century world through the most unexpected and unwilling people (Acts), the instructions God gave for establishing and growing His new Bride the Church (Epistles) so that He might show His love to a broken world and heal and save as many people as possible, and the future plans God has for His Redeemed Beloved (Revelation).
 Today we continue our "Big Picture" journey through the Bible by looking at the New Testament and how it fits into the story. Click below to listen.
