The big idea of this week's sermon from Psalm 20:1-9 is that we sing for victory in the name of our victorious God. King David’s army sings Psalm 20 to him, about him, and for him. Before the battle, soldiers shout for joy as they hope God will bring victory to their king. Jesus Christ, the greater King who claimed victory over death, brings victory and salvation to us who trust in Him.
