About This Sermon
Kal Kilgo teaches from Psalm 90 on where true satisfaction is found. Moses wrote this psalm during a season of deep loss and discouragement, yet he began his prayer by fixing his eyes on the everlasting God. Kal shows that our lives are like grass, temporary and fragile, and that looking to circumstances, success, comfort, or control for satisfaction will always leave us empty.
The message points us to God's steadfast love as the only source that can truly satisfy. Moses asked God to teach him to number his days and to satisfy him with His love each morning. Kal encourages us to identify the enemies of a satisfied life, pride, greed, comfort, control, comparison, and bitterness, and to bring our troubles to Jesus as an invitation to intimacy rather than just seeking problem removal.
Scripture: Psalm 90; Isaiah 53; Matthew 6; Matthew 5:3; James 1:5
