Message: “Psalm 24” from Langdon Stewart
Langdon Stewart - 1 February, 2026
Psalm 24
In today’s sermon on Psalm 24 alongside 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1, Langdon Stewart explores three key truths about God: that the Lord is Creator, worthy, and the victorious King. He explains that because God made and owns everything, all of life is lived under His authority and for His glory. The psalm then raises the question of who is worthy to stand before this holy God, highlighting humanity’s inability to meet the standard of “clean hands and a pure heart.” Langdon shows how this points to Jesus, the only one who is truly worthy, who through His death and resurrection makes people righteous before God. The sermon concludes with the image of the King of glory entering in victory, calling listeners to lift their heads, recognise Jesus as the triumphant King over sin and death, and respond in worship, trust, and wholehearted devotion.5 Questions to Think About 1. How does knowing that “the earth is the Lord’s” (Psalm 24:1) shape the way you use your time, possessions, and influence? 2. What does Psalm 24 reveal about God’s holiness and your own need for forgiveness and grace? 3. Why is it significant that only Jesus perfectly meets the standard of “clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 24:4)? 4. How does Jesus’ death and resurrection give you confidence to approach God? 5. What does it look like in practice to “lift your head” and welcome Jesus as King in your life?3 Things to Take Away from the Message 1. God is Creator and owner of all things — everything belongs to Him and is to be used for His glory (Psalm 24:1). 2. Only Jesus is truly worthy — through Him, believers are made righteous and able to stand before God (Psalm 24:4–6). 3. Jesus is the victorious King of glory — He has triumphed over sin and death and calls for a response of worship and surrender (Psalm 24:7–10).
