About this episode
Mark discusses Psalm 1 and its vision of the truly blessed life, emphasizing the role of Jesus in living it perfectly.
Every graduation speech asks the same question: how do you live a good life? In this sermon, Mark opens a summer series through the Psalms by unpacking Psalm 1's vision of the truly blessed life, and reveals why the answer isn't try harder but Jesus, the only person who ever lived it perfectly, cursed in our place so we could receive what we never deserved.
